When I was a child, I helped my younger sisters with their math homework, and other kids from my class or our neighborhood, too. In college, I helped several friends through their business calculus classes, plus I worked at the university\u2019s tutoring center while I majored in math education.<\/p>\n
I also worked at a friend\u2019s tutoring center after school for a few years while teaching full time, and have privately tutored a handful of individual students recently, too, including \u201cknocking the rust off\u201d over the summer to prep for the upcoming year, raising grades and test scores during the semester, and just rephrasing the content so the student hears it in a different way.<\/p>\n
I think it\u2019s amazing whenever I can shed some light on a topic and everything just clicks for the student I\u2019m working with, or they can just get a little deeper understanding on a concept they may have just begun to scratch the surface with before.<\/p>\n
I have had the most success helping students during the school year by working with the student, their family, and (if given permission to communicate directly) their classroom teacher as well, to preview, parallel, fill in the gaps, and review for tests.<\/p>\n
I also have resources that I can help students stay \u201cfresh\u201d over the summer by reviewing skills learned in their last math class, and previewing the initial topics they will start building on in their upcoming class. I am familiar with curriculums of both public and private schools, and have worked individually with students from both types of educational settings successfully.<\/p>\n
