Elementary (K-6th)
I have served as a home school coach and teacher for elementary, junior high and high school students for the last 5 years. I have learned to make education fun by using all sorts of outside activities, games, competitions, and physical models. My schooling never feels like school. My priority is to build a student's confidence in elementary k-6, then with the confidence growing give student's the skills necessary to read any book and solve any elementary math problem using a fantastic curriculum. My students look forward to coming to my tutoring sessions each week. History, science and writing composition are areas I focus on as well. Each tutoring session is limited to one subject, but I am available to teach all elementary subjects.
Geometry
Geometry is still my favorite math as it is the most analytical. Most students do not care for Geometry because it requires so much analytics, but once students learn the fundamentals of Geometry, they are better equipped to move into phase two, which is to analyze problems which require the application of the fundamentals to prove something true or false, or to find a solution. Geometry requires strong analytical and critical thinking skills which are not learned, only exercised and strengthened. I use a variety of tools and exercises related to geometry, logic, and reasoning to improve critical thinking skills. I also teach students the monumental process used to follow the logic and solve the problem. Whether it is elementary geometry or high school geometry, the goal is to learn the objectives and build our children's ability to think critically and see what is not there. I would love to help. All you have to do is update the information that WyzAnt requires and reply to this mail expressing your interest. I look forward to hearing from you.
Piano
I am the Executive Director of Emotions of Music School. I teach ages 6 yrs +. I have played from age 4 and started the piano school in 2010. I teach beginners, intermediate, advanced, performance/competition, and specialty-nuptial performance.
TAKS
My TAKS preparation program includes taking the latest released TAKS test as a preliminary to identify where students are having problems and address those specific objectives. Once the objectives have been sufficiently covered and mastered, the student and I will work through every question on the practice test to reassure each is understood, then the student will take the practice test again alone. We will evaluate whether the student is prepared to pass the TAKS test or additional tutoring is required. Usually requires 4-2hr sessions in entirety. (8 hrs total; usually one month)
