This class is a one-time private tutoring session for students in 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th grade math through pre-algebra. The class time will be spent tutoring in the area of concern, and parents may communicate that are to me prior to class if they wish. Multiple sessions can be booked if more time is needed to address the concern. My classroom is relaxed and low-key, yet focused intently on accomplishing the goal. I can tutor with the goal of understanding concepts, or I can offer homework help on particular assignments. 

I want students to enjoy the class; even more than that, I want them to find success in their studies, thereby building their confidence and imparting a love and joy for learning. I will work patiently with your student to ascertain the difficulty they are having and to provide strategies and solutions so that the student learns and understands the material. Interaction will be through direct instruction, examples, modeling of the concept, and props when appropriate for the lesson. 

It is useful to know in advance what areas of concern need to be addressed. Please communicate the subject area and topic in advance of class, as this allows me to adequately prepare for your child's class. 

I do ask that all students come prepared with, at minimum, paper and pencil, and preferably with a markerboard and marker if possible. If there is a particular assignment they need to work on, the student should be prepared to share their screen or in some other way allow me to see the problems they need help with.
