Hello students and parents:
My name is Deborah P., and I have over ten years of experience teaching mathematics in secondary education, seven of which include teaching all levels of Algebra with traditional and inquiry-based curriculum. In addition, I have instructed students in middle school mathematics through Pre-calculus. Currently, I tutor middle school and high school mathematics. I am looking forward to assisting your student and helping them to achieve their fullest potential this school year.
I incorporate a variety of strategies in my instruction-tutoring methods to reach every student. Examples of strategies utilized are direct instruction; helping students work out problems. Other methods are visual and hands-on instruction, or I will use everyday experiences to relate to the math concept and if necessary I will use authentic inquiry-based methods and questioning. We will also study and learn the vocabulary-key terms associated with mathematical concepts for better understanding. And, of course, I will include practice and drills to reinforce math skills and concepts. All of these strategies are designed not only to master a concept, but also to help students better understand and apply the concept to other situations-subjects.
