Hello, I am Ms Karen,

My mathematics teaching/tutoring and educator experience ranges from grade 6 through early college. I have a Master's Degree in Mathematics Education, and I am Florida Department of Education grades 6-12 Educator Certified. Mathematics learning is a building process. There are specific mathematic skill/content areas that students should master to better ensure success in higher mathematics learning. I look forward to maximizing YOUR mathematic strengths and minimizing YOUR mathematic weaknesses.

I pride myself with the ability to effectively communicate and interact with students respectfully. I listen with understanding, empathy, and patience. I especially love witnessing that magic AHA moment when students suddenly experience the understanding of a very challenging concept or skill. I do my best to motivate students, encourage them to work to their potential, and praise their hard work and progress often. I stress the importance of good study habits, practice, and more practice.

Mathematics education is my passion. My experience of 10+ years has been as a mathematics instructor/tutor, including drop-out prevention and at-risk students, online curriculum facilitator, and videoconference facilitator. My instructor/tutor experience includes middle school, high school, and early college-level mathematic courses. Additionally, I served as a liaison between students, parents, school guidance counselors, and teachers for a Broward County, Florida online school.

I love to share my excitement and enthusiasm of mathematics with my students and watch as they begin to experience this excitement for themselves. If YOU work at it, practice it, reinforce it, and keep challenging yourself, YOU will experience the excitement and wonders of Mathematics too!

Approved Subjects

Accuplacer

Accuplacer

My teaching experience includes teaching Mathematics College Readiness for 5+ years to high school seniors in preparation for the Accuplacer Mathematics Placement Test. I was an adjunct professor teaching Elementary Algebra and Intermediate Algebra at a Broward County FL. college for 10+ years. I pride myself in motivating students, increasing academic confidence, and "feeling" mathematics procedures rather than resort to memorization... less memorizing and more understanding is my goal.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have a Master's Degree in Mathematics Education and I am Florida Department of Education grades 6-12 Educator Certified. I have 10+ years experience successfully teaching Algebra1 and mathematic courses following thereafter. My goal in Algebra1 is for students to truly understand critical skills and concepts, not just get correct answers. Good Algebra1 skills and work habits are the foundation for success in higher level mathematics courses. As a student's understanding increases, the need for memorization decreases.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have a Master's Degree in Mathematics Education and I am Florida Department of Education grades 6-12 Educator Certified. My 10+ years experience successfully teaching middle school and higher level mathematics courses qualifies me to successfully teach Elementary Mathematics, grades 5-6. Among my many goals in Elementary Math is for students to truly understand the meaning of digits, place value, fractions, and decimals. In addition, mastering the four basic arithmetic skills (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), and developing good critical thinking skills are emphasized. Establishing good critical thinking skills and good work habits will better ensure the path for success in all levels of mathematics to follow.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have a Master's Degree in Mathematics Education and I am Florida Department of Education grades 6-12 Educator Certified. I have 10+ years experience successfully teaching Pre-algebra together with Algebra1 and mathematic courses following thereafter. In Pre-algebra I reinforce arithmetic skills and introduce Algebra1 prerequisite skills. My goal in Pre-algebra is for students to truly understand Algebra1 beginning skills and concepts, not just get correct answers. As a student's understanding increases, the need for memorization decreases.
