What's included
1 live meeting
50 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
1 hour per week. Typically, I will give my students extra problems to practice between sessions to assess if the student is ready for the next content section (e.g., Grade 4 USA Common Core Standards there are 10 concept categories: 1. Number & Base Ten, 2. Factors & Divisibility, 3. Multiplication, 4. Area & Perimeter, 5. Division, 6. Overall Fractions, 7. Operations with Fractions (addition and subtraction; multiplication and division are Grade 5), 8. Decimals, 9. Pre-Geometry, and 10. Measurements.Assessment
I can give an assessment test as need or per parent's request.Class Experience
US Grade 5 - 8
NOTE: This class 1x week for 50 minutes each session. At the beginning, we will get acquainted with each other by practicing review math problems for current grade or taking an entire year assessment test to identify areas for improvement. Additionally, I encourage the parent to send me by email the math material/concepts the child is currently struggling to master. I will create a study plan that will include custom curriculum and handouts to help a student with the process of learning. My resources include: • Barron's Common Core Success • Barron's Core Focus • Evan-Moor Math • IXL Math • McGraw Hill Math • Spectrum Math Once the student has mastered all the key math strands / topics for their grade, we will move on to challenging assignments to move the student to the next grade level. My style is interactive so I will be presenting one strategy at a time then giving your child a chance to practice several math problems via Zoom's White Board with my guidance so I can see if they are mastering before going to next topic. Additionally, we can tackle homework assignments and/or prepare for a test during these one-on-one sessions. My goal is to find different (and fun) strategies that make sense to your child that will help them solve math problems on their own.
Learning Goals
Students will gain confidence to complete their math assignments and be better prepared for math tests.

Supply List
1. Paper and pencil/pen 2. Please note in this class we will be using annotation tools for Zoom White Board to practice math problems. Unfortunately, Chromebook does NOT allow students to annotate on Zoom White Board so your child will need a different device. If a desktop with mouse, or laptop with touchpad/mouse is not available for student, ipad or tablets do allow annotation.
