includedClass Experience
This pre-algebra tutoring class is designed to help students build a strong foundation in mathematics by covering essential pre-algebra topics. The course will emphasize understanding concepts, practicing problem-solving skills, and applying knowledge to real-world situations. Each week, we will cover different topics. Students are expected to send a screenshot of their lesson, scans of their work, or a list of topics and objectives at least 2 hours before the session. This ensures personalized and effective tutoring tailored to each student's needs. In this pre-algebra tutoring course, my teaching style is structured to ensure that students not only learn the concepts but also understand how to apply them independently. The process can be broken down into four main steps: 1. discuss the topic and key terms. 2. Show an example by walk through the problem solving process. 3. Work together on a problem. 5. Student independently works on a problem. Sometimes we will not finish the steps in these situations I will send parent a note so then can work with student or schedule another session.
Learning Goals
Understand foundational arithmetic concepts and the use of variables
Master operations with integers and understand their properties.

Teacher expertise and credentials
From August of 2014 till June 2018 I worked as an adjunct math instructor and the program coordinator of the learning lab at Southern WV Community and Technical College. As the program coordinator of the learning labs I saw a lot of student who had been taught to memorize math instead of discover math. My experience not only as a math instructor, but as a radio engineer and data analysts has led me to the belief that math is best learned through skill building, discussion, and discovery.
I decided that I wanted to work with students starting in Pre-algebra, Algebra one, and Geometry. Currently I teach the following classes: (Make sure to scroll to the end to find out about office hours)
Pre-Algebra Year one:
Discovering Pre-Algebra Part one
In this class we will discover the organization and purpose of order of operations. How to perform order of operations with different types of rational numbers (exponents, square roots, decimals, fractions, integers, absolute value).
Discovering Pre-Algebra Part two
In this class we will discover proportional thinking and how it applies to different ideas in math (unit rates, unit conversions problems, discounts, tax, gratuity, markup’s, markdown’s, late fees, similar figures). We will also look at simple interest.
Discovering Pre-algebra Part three
In this class we will discover statistics and how to collect (Mean, median, mode, mid-range), display (box plots, stem and leaf, histograms, circle graph, and more), and interpret data (Venn diagram, tree diagram, Probability, and odds).
Pre-Algebra Year two
Discovering Pre-Algebra Part four
In this class we will discover the basics of Algebra (combining like terms, one and two step equations, one variable inequalities, absolute value equations, basics of exponents and radicals, scientific notation)
Discovering Pre-Algebra part five
In this class we will discover basic geometry skills for 2-d and 3-d shapes.
Discovering Pre-Algebra Part six
In this class we will discover graphing and linear equations.
Algebra one:
Discovering Algebra one: Part 1
Discovering Expression, Equations, Inequalities, linear equations and mathematical reasoning.
Discovering Algebra One Part 2
Shifting and reflecting Linear equations, Function families, domain and range, systems of equations and inequalities.
Discovering Algebra One Part 3
Discover the rules and properties of exponents and radicals. How to apply the Pythagorean Theorem and is converse to real life situation.
Discovering Algebra One Part 4
In the class you will work with polynomials, factoring and quadratic equations.
I love math and I hope that your learner finds my love for math infectious!
******* On Thursday, Friday and Saturday I have another job (well I babysit my grand babies) if you email during one of these days I may not be able to get back to you until Sunday or Monday.
