US Grade 6 - 10
Beginner - Advanced Level
This class is designed to give your child one on one math support and additional instruction when needed. In the first session I will interview the student to gauge their mathematical skill level, find out what particular mathematical topics & skills they need help with, and establish goals for future sessions. In following sessions, the student may request help with specific mathematical concepts, and/or I will provide instruction based the areas that they need the most improvement for success. I also help with test preparation and test taking strategies. I like to keep an active conversation with my students through the Outschool classroom, so that I can prepare materials for upcoming tutoring sessions. Students can also communicate when they have upcoming tests so that additional tutoring sessions can be scheduled if needed.
