Meaningful & Personalized Math Tutoring

Kids need a live person who is well versed in students' development of number sense to guide them to develop deep, conceptual understanding. Many corporate tutoring venues base their instruction and assessment on speed and memorization of procedures without ensuring the critical number sense that will stay with children forever and will allow them to make connections and create new understandings long after the tutoring ends.  Further, web-based video tutorial platforms, workbooks and electronic learning platforms do not typically build meaningful, enduring connections that are based on deep assessment of individual understanding.  Our children's class sizes are often large and getting the individualized instruction tailored specifically to their individual needs can be hard to come by. 

That's what I offer!

​

Why hire me to be your tutor?

I am an elementary teacher who has been deeply engrained in mathematics educational research for many years.  That's my specialty!  In fact, I travel around the country teaching other educators how to enhance the learning of their students by bringing them cutting edge research into how young children develop number sense and computation understanding.  I know and understand the methods of teaching students to ensure enduring mathematical understanding that will stay with your child forever.  My background allows me to have a deep understanding of the developmental sequences of computational understanding so I can authentically assess your child to understand their unique perspectives of number and can design appropriate instructional activities to guide them to create new and deeper meanings.  Most importantly, I do the majority of the learning WITH ENGAGING, FUN SETTINGS!

​

If your child is involved in home learning and/or could use some extra support to fill gaps or to keep them on their already positive trajectory and want your child to develop as a mathematician, let me help. I have an online, at home platform that is easy to set up and offers custom learning plans.  

​

Benefits to tutoring include:

  • Increased confidence

  • Development of deep conceptual understanding; the understanding that endures!

  • Number Sense Development

  • Increased Grit 

  • Mental math Skills

  • Math fact fluency

  • Critical thinking skills

​

Perhaps . . . 

  • You are struggling to find balance during these home learning days and want to ensure your child continues to further their number sense and computational understanding

  • Your child struggled in math before home learning began and you want to use this time to deepen understanding

  • Your child lacks mathematical confidence

  • Your child loves math and you want to capitalize and enrich their math learning, keep them thriving

  • The math assigned by your school consists of electronic platforms and you want authentic learning to ensure your child develops as a math thinker.

Let me engage your child in meaningful math instruction!


Tutoring can include:

  • engaging your child in learning  activities designed to deepen computational understanding and number sense

  • support in completing assignments assigned by the classroom teacher

  • additional tasks to engage with outside of live tutoring time​
