This course will cover adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals. If your child has been through these but didn't quite learn some or all it well enough, welcome! Decimals are important because they appear in future math courses--and on calculators. Some of the content is easy while other concepts may be more difficult. That's okay because of there's enough time for it all. Knowing how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide in general will lead to a better experience in this course. Anyone needing help with those operations will be directed to the appropriate (and relatively quick) class for it. Organization, preparation, and taking notes will be stressed. Those go a long way in any math course. Learners will be interacting with the easy-going teacher and their classmates. Everyone is allowed to assist one another or even request help. Writing down the classwork and homework will be recommended. Worksheets will be provided. Slides may be included. Tests, if any, will be informal. Specific Concepts Covered Week 1: Adding with decimals Week 2: Subtracting with decimals Week 3: Multiplying with decimals Week 4: Dividing with decimals, including expressing remainders as decimals If there's time, converting fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions will be taught.

My classes cover basic math and pre-algebra for teenagers with or without unique needs. There are two series available for that. Contact me with any concerns about whether your child is suited for the course content despite age or experience. Private classes are also available.
While educating K-12 marginalized and underserved youth, it wasn't long before I specialized in requests for math help due to demand. That was preceded by 16 years in STEM as a test, maintenance, and repair technician specializing in electricity, electronics, instrumentation, and automation for process control and military aviation.
It’s never too late to learn something no matter what anyone else says or thinks. A student is far more than mistakes that matter less and less over time.
As a kid, I used to hate math because I didn't have mastery of it. My mother was terrible at it but insisted that I do better. She won. I liked how useful math became. It's been working for me ever since, and I want my students to do at least as well.
I look forward to helping your child finally overcome math issues.
