Pre-Algebra Tutoring
Today I started with a brand new 7th grade
Pre-Algebra student – his FREE session. He had Failed math on his first
report card. He is an only child living with just his Mom. On his
assessment quiz, he worked numerous problems correctly but
no work was shown (which I asked to see on the paper). Of the eight
problems on fractions and decimals, he had one correct answer. He had
NO homework assignment tonight!?! We spent time working out all 17
problems step-by-step. He stated he did have problems with fractions
and decimals but now he understood them. I asked him to keep the
solutions paper in his math note book for easy reference should he need a
refresher on a day he was not scheduled for tutoring. He was well
pleased with having me as his tutor.

Math student, with ADD
After school hours, I received a call from a
5th grade student whom I have tutored just twice. He came to me as a C
math student, with ADD. Tomorrow is his day for tutoring. But today he
received his math test back, which we prepared for
last week. He was “so excited” he could not wait a day to tell me…he
asked his Mom if he could call me. He had scored a 100 on this test and
I told him how PROUD I was of HIS work.

Low self-esteem of her math abilities
One 8th grade student first came to me about a
year ago, with a low C average and low self-esteem of her math
abilities. On her last progress report, she had an average of 100.67
and was beaming with pride in what “she” had accomplished.

About Math Methods Wiz
From age 10 forward throughout high school and college, I continued
freely tutored math students and made a big impact on those students’
math abilities. I never tutored just on that one problem, or test, they
had needed help with; rather, I assisted their overall understanding of
how math concepts worked together. Over and over, I kept being called a
“Math Wiz” from people who did not know each other.
At age 16, I had won a Math scholarship to college. And at age 20, I began teaching math.
In my book, Rescue Your Math Student Now, I referred to myself as a “Math Methods Wiz.” Unbeknown to all the students (I had tutored) and all my teachers was the fact: the “Math Wiz” part was because I made math easy to learn. The “Methods” terminology is there because of how closely I observed every math teacher, every minute of every day. My desire, since age 10, was to make use of every positive “Method” (each highly effective teacher employed) to help others to learn as simply as possible. Rene Descartes also noted: “Divide a difficulty into so many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it.” I wanted those I taught and tutored to appreciate math for the power it gives their lives. We all use math every day and it still must be precisely correct. A note from Thales: “The primary question was not what we know, but how do we know it.” That in a nut shell was my study: to find the How’s.
Besides my love of teaching math, I have been extremely successful in the business world! I have been listed in Marquis’ Who’s Who in the South and Southeast, along with 100′s of: awards, honors,
recognitions and trips won. (Side Note: all these other successes were directly related to my devotion to be really good at math; for those same characteristics are adaptable to any other endeavor.) I have been fortunate enough to be ranked at the top of five national companies, through hard work and dedication. Between those business ventures, I continued to return to my love of math teaching and helping others obtain a sparkle in their eyes – because they had finally grasped math. Recall: I never wanted my math assistance to be a one shot fix for anyone. My goal has always been to help students become “confident in their own ability” to go forth, knowing they can master math.
Years ago, I had many friends surprise me with a party! After a short presentation speech: thanking me for what I had done for this group, they gave me a small book. The Go-Getter by Peter B. Kyne
was this jewel, about things I had always strived to do for others. You might just enjoy reading this too.
I sincerely hope your child will become the “REAL WINNER” from me sharing my experiences in “Rescue Your Math Student Now“. I trust you will take these examples to lead your child in the direction of a successful life. As for teachers reading this book, my ambition for you is you have found bits and pieces to make you the best teacher you can possibly be, which will hopefully multiply your love of teaching. And for that one SPECIAL STATE SUPERINTENDENT, I beg you to PLEASE launch the suggestions I put forth that WILL TRANSFIGURE AMERICA’S SCHOOLS back to prominence.

State Superintendents
State Superintendents: HELP WANTED!!! American schools are in desperate need of an aggressive, courageous State Superintendent who desires to lead a total reformation of our broken educational system.
The U. S. has dropped to the #27 ranking globally in math; with science
and reading also in double digits worldwide and all three are falling.
To apply, begin using the innovative strategies set forth in this
book. We do not want the cutthroat competition some countries presently
have in place. America needs a positive, dynamic leader who is not
afraid to step forward nationally to reinstate our students back towards
#1. You will be recognized as a modern day Horace Man. Are you that leader?
