😵💫 Hit some “bumps in the road” in Math lately? 😩 🎯 Reboot your child’s confidence, and prime them for Math success… with the Math Confidence Coaching Course! — 🧮 What is the ‘Math Confidence Coaching Course’? 🧮 A 4-week self-paced coaching program that helps high school and middle school Math students overcome self consciousness and other Math-related anxieties, by providing them with the inspiration, strategy, and strong foundational habits for turning their progress around in Math! — 🧮 What do they learn? 🧮 Much of what students learn in this course are not things that are typically taught in school. Here are some highlights regarding what they learn: ✅ Tactics for understanding and simplifying Math concepts. ✅ The ideal study habits that facilitate success in Math, and detailed plans for how to carry out them out consistently. ✅ How tests are constructed from the POV of a teacher, and how problems can be made increasingly challenging within one concept. ✅ Study strategies for optimizing their results on tests. ✅ How to assert yourself confidently when you feel confused or put on the spot. For a more detailed breakdown by lesson and week, see course syllabus. — 🤔 Is this a Math class or a group coaching class, and will the students be learning/doing any Math? Not quite… It is NOT a Math course in the traditional sense, and students will NOT be learning any new Math concepts. However, we will be using certain fundamental Math concepts that they should already be familiar with - like calculating averages, and percent word problems - in order to give context to the ideas and strategies that we go over. In other words, this course helps students gain clarity on “why” and “how” to learn Math effectively, and less emphasis on “what” they learn. — 🧮 CLASS STRUCTURE: 🧮 Once enrolled, students watch two 15-30 minute video lessons per week for 4 weeks, and complete the accompanying quizzes and exercises. — 👩🏫 TEACHING STYLE AND QUALIFICATIONS: 👩🏫 I have a Bachelor's degree in Math, and have worked as a private Math tutor for 14 years. This has provided me with an opportunity to understand my students and the type of additional coaching many of them need in order to give their best academically. Regarding teaching style, please refer to the video for a sample from the course, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Lesson 4: The Game Plan
Students take stock of their relationship with Math so far, what they generally aim for, and discuss values (such as self-compassion, curiosity and perseverance) that will help them achieve the results they want. This lesson also offers a high-level game plan for both the students who tend to struggle just to pass, as well as students who aim to improve their already healthy standing. 1 assignment
