A rising 8th grade math student, who is changing from a private school to a charter school, was here for his third lesson. We continued working on an old state End of Grade test by doing the sections on Measurement and Geometry. He was excellent on his math skills.

A rising ADHD 8th grade math student arrived early for her session. We continued reviewing problems on several old state End of Grade tests. She was excellent on these problems by having all worked correctly.

10th grade home-schooled

10th grade home-schooled, who will take Algebra II this year, came to tutoring for extra review of Algebra I. We continued our work on a lengthy old state End of Course test for Algebra I. He has been doing great on this by recalling much of his learning from last year.

A rising 6th grade math student

A rising 6th grade math student worked on the first of his grade level’s workbook. We did some addition of five multi-digit problems with some having decimals and some dollars. We did subtraction practice where borrowing was needed. And we did multiplication samples with one digit time’s five digits, two digits time’s two digits and three digits time’s three digits. We also worked on word problems for each of the above problem types.

A rising 10th grade home-schooled

A rising 10th grade home-schooled Algebra II student came for his tutoring lesson. We spent our time today continuing our review of old state End of Course Algebra I tests since his text book for Algebra I was a poor one. He did excellent work today.

A rising 8th grader, who is changing schools from a private system to a charter school, was here for his first real tutoring session. We began by working problems on an old state End of Grade test since he had never taken one and he would have something similar this year. He was able to work all problems correctly.

Teaching Roles

As a teacher, I emulated the great teaching role models that I viewed from my perspective as a top-notch math scholar. Questions (below) for which you will receive answers are from my personal case studies. This guide may be your “missing link” to greatness for your students!

• What is going on in your child’s math class?

• What can you do to improve your child’s math skills?

• ADD and ADHD case studies – what to do, and what not to do?

• How do you learn to study math?

• How can your child gain confidence in math?

• How to know when you have an ineffective teacher?

• States: do you want results, then test the teachers not the students?

• Is your child worth your involvement in the school?

• Will the new standards program be a game changer?

• Why is the U. S. only #27 in math ranking in the world?

• Is there a State Superintendent who is ready to revolutionize our schools?

STEM camp


A ADHD 8th grader comes each week during the summer despite achieving all A’s this past school year. Her parents know the constant “focus” is changing her overall outlook on school work. She was excited to tell she was going to a STEM camp (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) at a local community college, where I used to teach. She started with me two years ago, with her math grade in the C-/D+ range at that time. We also worked on some old state End of Grade test problems, which she had, all of them correct. Parents: These old state test are super study guides, as all problems are different types of word problems. Thus each problem presents a new challenge, requiring the students to think creatively and remember what that was taught during the school year and apply that knowledge. ‪#‎Math‬ ‪#‎Tutor‬ ‪#‎ADHD‬

Tutoring

A rising 8th grade math student and two rising 7th grade math students each arrived for their tutoring sessions. With each of these three, we focused on solving problems on old state End of Grade type tests. These tests have a good variety of word problems, which causes the students to reach back in their minds and think. Need Help? Do you want tips, buy my book ‪#‎Math‬
