This course provides weekly support for Pre-Algebra students. Each week students are invited to bring difficult homework questions or challenging topics from their lessons. If students don't provide a topic, I will select one from the Pre-Algebra course. The topic will be discussed and activities or guided lessons will be presented with step by step explanations. Practice problems are solved together to illustrate how to use the concepts. Then students work individually or in groups on exercises to apply the concepts and strategies. Students are encouraged to share their solutions and math workings with the group. The lesson ends with an assessment activity, for example a game or fun quiz, to check understanding. Topics from Pre-Algebra that may be used during homework help and support are: Numbers Order of Operations Expressions and variables Fractions and decimals Measure Data Ratio and Percentage Graphing and the Coordinate Plane Equations Inequalities Exponents and Radicals. The lesson will include slides for visual support and discussions. This course provides support for a learner currently taking a Pre-Algebra course.
Learning Goals
Learners will improve their understanding of the basic concepts in the Pre-Algebra course. These include numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, data, measure, expressions, equations, inequalities, and graphing.

I am a passionate educator with a love for teaching and tutoring mathematics. I am a certified secondary mathematics teacher who has guided learners from 10 to adults since 2012. I specialize in helping learners overcome common stumbling blocks encountered in middle school and high school math. I provide individual support through one-to-one tutoring sessions and offer weekly small group lessons covering core math subjects.
I have a bachelor’s degree in math and computer science and master’s degrees in operations research and secondary mathematics education. This extensive background enables me to offer a comprehensive approach in my math lessons. I have a passion for international education. I have taught and tutored students from diverse cultural backgrounds in the Netherlands, England, the United States, and through online platforms worldwide. I embrace the opportunity to incorporate the experiences of my learners into my math lessons, thus creating a globally enriched learning environment.
In my classroom, I guide learners to become active participants and explore math concepts through investigations. I encourage students to share their ideas during the lessons to build their mathematics skills, confidence and communication abilities. When tackling math problems together, I encourage discussing strategies and alternative methods to develop critical analytical thinking. This approach ensures that all learnings’ styles with the class are acknowledged and addressed.
Teaching for me is similar to working on a complex puzzle. With each question posed by a learner, I search to identify their knowledge gaps and connect the missing puzzle pieces. I formulate clear explanations and guidance by asking probing questions that direct learners towards the solution. I am committed to lifelong learning and continuously review and refine my teaching strategies based on student feedback and questions.
I am excited to explore the world of mathematics with your learner.
