Hi, I'm Kim! I have 12 years of teaching experience, having taught 5th and 6th grade math and science in both elementary and middle school settings. I hold a master's degree in education, and over the years I've developed a deep understanding of how students learn math at this age- including where they tend to struggle and what helps them turn things around. I specialize in 4th through 7th grade math, with particular focus on computation, place value, fractions, decimals, geometry, and expressions. Whether a student is trying to catch up, stay on track, or get ahead, I tailor my approach to meet them exactly where they are.
My tutoring approach centers on building genuine understanding, not just memorization. I work closely with each student to find the specific gaps in their knowledge, then break problems down into smaller, manageable steps so concepts finally click. I believe it's just as important for students to understand why a math strategy works as it is for them to get the right answer - that understanding is what builds lasting confidence and independence. I'm kind, creative, and patient, and I genuinely enjoy helping students move from feeling frustrated or unsure to feeling capable and confident in their math skills. I'm highly dependable and responsive, and I'd love the opportunity to work with you or your student. Please reach out -I'd be happy to set up a lesson!
