中学校および高校の数学のテーマに関するプライベートまたは小グループの個別指導

Private tutoring covers learner and family requested needs.  Math For The Middles educators have over 12 years of tutoring experience.  With a range of talented and gifted programs like Summer Institute for the Gifted to focusing on academic and math esteem growth in students who seek accountability and academic support. The structure of private tutoring includes learners sharing their needs an informal exit ticket "assessment" to review and reinforce taught learning concepts. Guided instruction is included but learners will be expected to "do math" during tutoring.  We believe the only way to learn math is to do math.  Please message for the specific topics you would like to taught.  If you're learner is enrolled in a formal school system please share school based resources to ensure cohesiveness of your school's expectations.   Below is a long list of topics that may be covered.  This course is customizable to meet more than once a week and match your families needs.

-Algebra 1
-Geometry
