Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 12
Advanced Level
As a former homeschooling parent (K-12) and classroom teacher, I am offering to be your child's teacher or tutor. Please ask if you would like to find a time different from what is listed. I teach in the classroom on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so my daytime availability  is mostly Mondays and Wednesdays. I can do afternoons on Tuesdays and Thursdays (Eastern time). Just ask!

I am passionate about providing instruction to help students master math topics.  Students can simply bring me their questions, or we can work through curriculum together. In the classroom I teach Saxon Math, but am open to other curriculum. One possibility is using Khan Academy or Delta Math which are both free online services.

My teaching style includes a lot of discovery learning.  I like to help them put the pieces together. In addition, I have found many students benefit from "talking through the problems" with a teacher.  When necessary, I will provide instruction on any foundational knowledge that is preventing them from being successful.  If you are interested in grading, that is something we can talk about.

Learning Goals

Students should be able apply practical strategies to solve the math problems.  This will sometimes include memorizing a few vocabulary terms or a shortcut list which helps them break down hard problems.  They will learn to look at a new problem and apply what they know in order to solve it.
