This is a private individual tutoring session designed to help you understand 6th, 7th and 8th Grade Math, Pre-Algebra and/or the concepts of Algebra 1 and early parts to Algebra 2. I have been a licensed teacher for 19 years and am very familiar with all the topics covered in middle school Pre-Algebra and Algebra. I can help you with your current homework assignments or I can help you master a topic you may have struggled in. I want to empower you to tell me what you need. I have many resources and can create new meaningful problems quickly. I have countless academic resources that I use to tutor students of every learning style, interest and personality type. For students looking for a more structured curriculum, I will cover the following topics in a chronological order if preferred. -write and evaluate expressions with exponents -write expressions using letters -interpret expressions with grouping -evaluate expressions given values -find equivalent expressions -answer questions with equations -using variables to solve problems -write inequalities -algebraic expressions and variable relationships -area of a polygon -volume using fractional side lengths -coordinate planes -using nets to represent 3-D figures -greatest common factor -ordered pairs on a coordinate plane -plot integers on a number line -absolute value -ratios -box, plots, histograms, and dot plots -solving equations and inequalities -Circumference and area formulas -Solve equations using angles -Solving problems with surface area and volume -Properties of operations on rational numbers -Convert rational numbers to decimals -Mean in probability -integer exponents -square and cube roots -Operations with scientific notation -Slope on a graph -Understanding, algebraic results -Algebraic expressions using distributive property -Understanding systems of equations -Solving systems of equations -Functions -Slope intercept form -Linear relationships -Congruence with transformations -Pythagorean theorem -Irrational numbers -Scatter plots -Line of best fit -Creating tables to compare data -Many more learning objectives My teaching style is "I do", "we do", "you do". You will never be asked to complete a task without me explaining it and doing an example together. I am very patient and will work through the steps with you if you get stuck. I have learned many tips and tricks along the way to help make Algebra Simple.

Learning Needs
Through engaging and interactive sessions, I incorporate multi-sensory techniques, utilize visual aids, and integrate movement breaks to cater to diverse learning styles. The structured environment ensures focus while promoting growth.
Parental Guidance
I do utilize Khan Academy for homework when there is a topic that the student needs additional practice on. We will work together in Khan Academy and sometimes I will assign sections for the student to work on after class. For students that I tutor long-term, I will create a Google classroom for them and put resources in it, to help them succeed in every way. If this sounds like something that would be beneficial for the student to have, then please create a free Gmail account so I can add them to my roster. The parents can also be added to this as well with a separate Gmail account if they so choose. I have a big fan of gamification, especially for learners with dyscalculia, ADHD, and other learning disabilities. I also utilize legends of learning, but an account is not necessary I will give you the username and password will be created by the student or I can create the password myself
Supply List
Learners should bring any materials relevant for the topics they would like to discuss during the class. Advance notice of the topics and questions is helpful but is NOT required. I recommend that the student create a Khan Academy Account so I can assign homework for them to gain additional practice if wanted or needed.
