Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 7
This is a learner-directed tutoring sessions for students who are struggling in high school math including 6th & 7th grade math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Precalculus.  I help students by giving them strategies for approaching problems.  I find that students' confidence levels rise when they have true understanding of a concept and are given a step by step approach of finding the answer.  Sometimes lack of confidence is the main deterrent for success in math.  I love seeing the lightbulb come on for students who have always believed that they were "bad at math".  I believe that everyone can be successful in math.

I will work many example problems giving the student opportunity to ask questions throughout.  Students will then have the chance to work problems with the teachers assistance (if necessary).  Practice problems can be provided at the request of the student or parent.  Practice problems would include solutions.

**Weekly session topics will be learner-directed and can include any of the topics listed below.  Students will submit material that they'd like to cover in our tutoring session at least 24 hours before the beginning of class.  This will allow me time to prepare content for our tutoring session so that we can maximize our time together.**

Examples of math concepts that I can help with:
Greatest Common Factor
Reducing fractions
Improper fractions and mixed numbers
Operations with fractions
Converting fractions to decimals
Operations with decimals
Order of operations (PEMDAS)
Expressions, equations and functions
Linear equations
Linear functions
Equations of linear functions
Linear inequalities
Systems of linear equations and inequalities
Exponents and exponential functions
Quadratic expressions and equations
Quadratic functions and equations
Rational functions, equations and relations
Polynomials and polynomial functions
Inverses and radical functions and relations
Exponential and logarithmic functions and relations
Functions from a calculus perspective
Power, polynomial and rational functions
Trigonometric functions
Trigonometric identities and equations
Systems of equations and matrices
Vectors

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Alabama at Birmingham
I am a middle school and high school math tutor.  I help students with 6th, 7th and 8th grade math, PreAlgebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and PreCalculus.  I have a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.  I have homeschooled my four children over the last 19 years and have three children who have graduated from college and a 10th grader.  I've taught Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Math Models, Physics, 4-H and study skills at a private school and homeschool co-op.  I've also coached middle school and high school FTC Robotics teams.  I was a Veterinary Science project leader and club manager in 4-H for 4 years. 

I have a passion for helping kids discover the love of learning.  My speciality is helping kids who have traditionally struggled with math find their inner math genius.  I accomplish this by introducing them to strategies that help all the puzzle pieces fit together for them.  I've discovered that once a student discovers that they can understand math concepts, they end up being successful through out the rest of their school career.  It makes me giddy to see the lightbulb come on for kids who have truly believed that they aren't good at math.  I believe that everyone can be good at math.

I love spending time with my family.  We enjoy going on adventures to the beach, the mountains or wherever life takes us.  I enjoy teaching online because it allows me the flexibility to be there for my family when they need me.  I hope to see you in my next class!!
