US Grade 1 - 3
In this class, students will learn to multiply two single digit numbers (less than 9) together. Students will use groups of candy to visualize the process to introduce the idea of counting by 2s, 3s, 4s, or some other number as a way to solve problems. (Practice with times tables, which will build upon counting skills, will be covered in a later class.) In the first class, we will review counting by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s and some simple addition before introducing the concept of multiplication. We will then work through some example problems together. Then, in the second class, students will work out the problems first, and then we will determine the correct answer afterwards in a sort of informal assessment. Students should have basic counting and addition skills before entering this class. If your student lacks in either of these areas, please consider enrolling them in "Counting from 0 to 10 With Animals!" or "Let's Add! Single Digit Numbers" first. Students should also be familiar with negative numbers. If not, please consider "What are Negative Numbers?". If you have any concerns about your student being prepared for this class, please feel free to contact me for further information and clarification.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a nuclear engineering graduate from South Carolina State University with a Bachelor's in Science. I began graduate school for a PhD in Nuclear Engineering, but due to health issues I decided to leave school and pursue my passions elsewhere--like here!
Thus, it may go without saying that a lot of classes I offer are math and science (particularly nuclear science) related.
If you have anything specific you would like to see a class on, please feel free to message me, and I will let you know if I feel comfortable teaching that topic (if I do, I will make it the next class I start offering!). Also, feel free to request class sections at other times than when I offer them; I will be sure to keep my availability updated and will be happy to see you at any of these times! If you have any questions, please feel free to message me.
Much of my teaching background is in tutoring. I have listings set up for private lessons, so feel free to message me if you are interested! You will notice that my classes are a lot shorter than others, both in the length of each meeting and the number of weeks my classes run. This is because I break up concepts into their integral parts so that students can come for exactly what they need help with and skip over the parts that they are superstars at. :) Therefore, be sure to read the class descriptions carefully and select the class(es) that will best help your student!
I hope to see you and your students in class soon!Reviews
