Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 2
This one-time class will introduce the concept of negative numbers. No math problems are included--instead, this class is intended to bridge the gap between learning to add and subtract with only positive numbers to adding and subtracting with a mixture of positive and negative numbers. This class will be more discussion-based to ensure the student's understanding of the concept. Students should be familiar with what a number line is, and they should have a grasp of addition and subtraction of single-digit, positive numbers before diving into negative numbers.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the concept of negative values.

Profile
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!
