About My Math Tutoring

My tutoring focus is always to use my teaching skills and content knowledge to improve your math fluency and grades while building your confidence.

I continually monitor what you know, have not yet learned, and what you need to learn next to advance. I repair misunderstandings and insufficient prior knowledge that could hinder your learning. Through my tutoring, I build your knowledge and understanding, fluency in mathematical reasoning, and problem solving skills.

I continuously adjust my tutoring to your needs. I use teaching methods such as inquiry, targeted instruction, demonstrations, guided practice, and routine checks for understanding.

“One-on-one tutoring is… the single most powerful strategy for responding to learning needs.”*

*, S. Sawchuk, EducationWeek. 8/19/20

Designing Tutoring for You!

It is helpful for me to learn about you by:

– Discussing your learning preferences and objectives
– Examining graded worksheets or tests
– If feasible, working with you on a couple of problems
– I can talk with a teacher if you believe that would be helpful

We can discuss observations, recommendations, objectives, communications preferences, etc. to develop an initial tutoring strategy.

There is no cost until tutoring begins. If you are not satisfied after the first tutoring session, I will provide a full refund.
