Math Tutoring, Private 1:1 Sessions, Grades 1-8 Choose From Three Methods

Welcome to math tutoring! All sessions are completely interactive, with visuals when appropriate. The best way I can assist is by discovering where the struggle is occurring and help them clarify the process.  My goal is also to help the student discover the "why" for many of the steps needed to solve math problems, and for them to gain the skills needed for them to reach their full potential.

When a parent signs up for the class, I will ask them to let me know what topic they would like their child to have assistance with. Samples from their homework would be great.  I can assist in several ways:  1. Homework Help, 2. Lesson Over the Topic, 3. Sample Problems to Identify Problem Area. Each method is explained below:

1. I can help them with their current homework.  I like to use hands on illustrations such as paper folding for fractions, or pictures, to bring a concept to life, when appropriate.  We will both be working on the white board mostly, so I can see how they approach it from their perspective.  (homework help)

2. I can prepare a lesson over the topic on the whiteboard, Canva, or Google Slides and present it, asking them questions as I go. Near the end of the lesson I will ask them to work a problem the check for understanding again.  (lesson over the topic)

3. I can give them a couple of problems over the topic, but not directly from their homework, and watch them work the problems on the whiteboard so I can identify where the help is needed. (It's helpful to see their homework so I can choose similar problems.)

I will provide feedback to you, the parent, to let you know what progress was made, and if they still need some assistance. 

All math topics in grades 1-8 can be covered, including fractions, percent, long division, multiplication, decimals, word problems, ordering all numbers, probability, area, perimeter, and much more.
