In our 1-on-1 session, I will work with learners on any mathematical concepts that they may need more assistance with. I have always had a great love for math and I want all of my students to enjoy it as much as I do. I try to make learning key math skills fun by incorporating games, projects, real world scenarios, and a welcoming style of teaching where learners do not need to feel shy, embarrassed, or rushed. I will always structure our weekly sessions to go at the pace of the learner and meet them where they're at in this challenging adventure of math!

Parents/Guardians: Please send me a message on Outschool or post in the classroom, at least 48 hours prior to our class meetings, in regards to what concepts/skills your learner needs to focus on and I will create lessons based on your suggestions. If no message is sent 48 hours prior to our meeting, I will prepare a generic lesson as a means to assess where they are in their math journey and we can go from there. 

There are so many different ways to come to an answer in a math problem, so I like to take a look at how learners see the problem first and go from there. These "math talks" are important so that I can see what strategies the learner is using, as well as if they truly understand what the question is asking of them. If there is a math "trick" or strategy that may get them to an answer quicker, I will share it with them, we will practice it, and then the learner will have a whole toolbox full of strategies in their pocket for whenever they may need it. 

Learners are also more than welcome to bring homework or assignments to class for help working through problems that they may not understand. **I just ask that you post a picture of the homework/assignment in the classroom or through a message so that I can prepare some notes or a lesson to help your learner better understand the topic at hand.**

There are so many different math skills I can help your learner with, but here are just a few in each grade level:
