Welcome to the summer math review for upper elementary students who just finished 4th or 5th grade! We forget a lot during those fun summer weeks, but setting aside just a bit of time each week to review concepts learned throughout the past year will help students thrive when they go back to school in the fall! I will cover factors, word problems, place value, equivalent and nonequivalent fractions, multiplying 2-digit numbers, graphing, long division, adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators, estimating sums, differences, products, and quotients, adding fractions with denominations 10-100, finding the area of a rectangle using a formula, measurement word problems, using fractions to find the measurement of an angle, and so much more. Learning should be fun and active! I love to bring fun challenges and games into my classroom to help keep my students engaged. We will always begin class with a fun timed challenge! The rest of the class will be spent working together on different math challenges as listed in the syllabus. At the end of our 8 weeks together, I will give my students a final "challenge" (much like a math test) to see what they can remember from our time together! This is meant to give them that boost of confidence as they begin their new school year. I can't wait to meet your child and work alongside them this summer!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!
My name is Katie Fleming and I’m so excited to meet and help your child with their educational goals!
I'm a 5th grade teacher at a private school. I teach math, science, English, history, geography, reading, and spelling. I specialize in ELA.
In the classroom, students who lag behind and students who are advanced have a disadvantage because there is only one teacher and limited time. As a product of homeschool education (1st-12th) myself, who then excelled in college and beyond, I know that small classrooms and individual student-focused teaching is necessary to truly help every student excel. Everyone is at a different place and needs to be met in that place! After tutoring English online for the past 3 years nearly full-time and then teaching 5th grade in a brick-and-mortar school, I have the skills and experience needed to help your student meet their full potential.
A little bit about me! I'm a mom of 4 boys (ages 4, 12, 9, and 7). My house is crazy, but I love it! In my spare moments, I enjoy camping, hiking, and kayaking. I have been a writer and graphic designer since I was a little girl. As soon as I could write, I began creating all sorts of stories and poems. When we bought our first home computer (yes, I am that old), I quickly learned how to use programs like Microsoft Publisher and eventually the Adobe Design Suite and created my own newsletter as a kid. Writing and designing marketing material is in my blood! I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in English with a focus in Writing from Towson University in Baltimore, MD. I have completed numerous credits in Secondary Education and began a Master of Arts in Teaching degree as well. Life took me in a different direction for a few years and I worked at Johns Hopkins Medical System and University, providing marketing material for the programs. This led me to complete a Certificate in Graphic Design at Montgomery College in Rockville, MD. I began my own Graphic Design business, incorporating my gifts in graphic design as well as writing to create marketing material for my clients. After I began having children, I found myself becoming more involved in the education world. I homeschooled my son for one year and not long after I began as an online ESL teacher with VIPKID, earning my TESOL Certificate with this company. In terms of teaching experience, I have taught in both a traditional and nontraditional setting off and on throughout the past twenty years (currently I am a full-time fifth-grade teacher at a private school).
Students will find my tutoring/homework help sessions to be fun, interactive, and we will tackle any problems they are having at school and figure out how to move forward together!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time! Also, if there are any particular topics within my area of expertise that you would like for me to offer that I haven’t already, please let me know. I hope to see your learner in my classroom soon!
