I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education with a concentration in Mathematics and have been teaching middle school mathematics for four years. I currently teach seventh grade math and have experience working with students across a wide range of academic abilities, including students who are performing below grade level, students receiving math intervention, and students who are ready for more challenging material. My classroom experience has given me a strong understanding of the skills students need to develop in order to be successful in middle school mathematics and to transition successfully into Algebra.
My teaching experience includes working with students ages approximately 11–14 in a classroom setting, providing both whole-group and individualized instruction. I regularly use differentiated instruction, guided practice, questioning, visual representations, real-world examples, and targeted intervention to help students understand difficult concepts. I especially enjoy breaking complicated mathematical ideas into smaller, manageable steps and finding different ways to explain a concept when a student does not understand it the first time.
I am comfortable tutoring students in elementary and middle school mathematics, including arithmetic, fractions, decimals, integers, ratios and proportions, percentages, expressions and equations, geometry, probability, statistics, pre-algebra, and general math intervention. My goal as a tutor is not simply to help students complete their homework, but to help them understand the underlying concepts, build confidence, and develop strategies they can independently use in future math classes.
