This class is interactive, where I will break concepts down and check for understanding throughout the class. I scaffold and adjust my pacing to suit the needs of the students. I will use visuals, mnemonics, real-world examples, discussion, and guided notes to ensure a deep understanding. Student participation is expected. I strive to make learning fun and instill confidence in the student. Each class will begin with a 5-minute breakdown of the previous class’s homework. This is to make sure that everyone retained the lesson and can complete the assignment without help. I use the “I do, We do, You do” model to encourage retention and build confidence. After teaching a concept, I will explain a real-world example, guide the students in solving a problem, and then let them solve one independently to ensure they understand the concept. This is not intended to teach a full grade level for the first time; this is a review course to enhance the student’s math skills. We will review all foundational math learned in 7th grade to give the student a strong start to 8th grade math. This is also great for students who are currently in 8th grade, but could use a refresher on the foundational math. Students should have completed 7th grade, be in 7th grade, or be planning to skip 6th grade math. We will have class 2 times a week for 11 weeks. The following is our tentative schedule: Week 1 (Date TBD): Understand integers and absolute value. Add, subtract, multiply, & divide negative numbers Week 2 (Date TBD): Order of operations, convert, compare, and order rational numbers, and calculate fractions and decimals Week 3 (Date TBD): Solve one-step equations and simplify expressions Week 4 (Date TBD): Solve two-step equations. Write, graph, & solve inequalities Week 5 (Date TBD): Percentages, rates, and proportions Week 6 (Date TBD): Simple interest, taxes, markup, & discounts Week 7 (Date TBD): Constant of proportionality, Direct variation, & Slope Week 8 (Date TBD): Statistics Week 9 (Date TBD): Plane Geometry (Polygons & angles) Week 10 (Date TBD): Area & Perimeter. Solids & nets Week 11 (Date TBD): Volume & surface area. Probability

My classroom is a safe, supportive environment where students learn communication, social, and problem-solving skills. Every child can succeed with guidance and encouragement.
I am passionate about math. I know a lot of tricks and mnemonics to make math fun and easier to understand. I especially love helping struggling students achieve success. I have been a math teacher and tutor in public school and online since 2010.
I am passionate about creative writing. There are so many ways to express what is in your heart through words, and I would love to help you find that passion as well. I have two years of classroom experience teaching English and writing in public school. I also have had twenty-five books published. Many of them have been translated and narrated. Let me help you bring out your creativity in a way that will astound your audience.
I am also passionate about science and nature. From the expanse of outer space to the deepest depths of the ocean, from the first organisms to grace our planet to the future of technology, let’s explore the universe’s many incredible wonders. I have two years of classroom experience teaching science and robotics in public school.
