I published this article on my blog and I believe that it will help students, tutors and parents alike so I decided to re-blog here. Time management is such an important skill! The article published by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension entitled “Thirteen Timely Tips for More Effective Time Management” proved to be very beneficial as well as the Time Management Quiz. They highlight... read more
In my experience, many children who come to tutoring struggling with mathematics show signs that these troubles have been occurring for a long time, in some cases years. In most of these cases the students only receive a few lessons until parents are satisfied when their child brings home one good test or homework assignment. Then the parents start the cycle over again when the child brings home... read more
The most requested tutoring subject is MATH! Many students struggle with math (algebra, geometry, calculus) because there is no easy way to learn it. It is nice to have someone to break it down for you and talk you through your problems. But, what happens when you do not have your tutor next to you?!?! PANIC?! OF COURSE NOT! Although it is my duty for you to have... read more
As a parent or even a tutor looking to get the best and be the best of the best I often ask, "What makes my tutoring so special?" As tutors, I believe we all strive to take tutoring to another level so I decided to share what I do. I do not merely teach students in a specific subject, instead I help students to become independent thinkers. Over time I equip students... read more
So 100% of my students, grade 3-8, passed their NY State Mathematics, English Language Arts and Science Core exams. Most see improvements in school and a few received Academic Achievement Awards.

One reason why mathematics seems to be a monster to be feared by many people seems to be the perception that there is only one way to solve a given problem developed by a nameless, faceless genius mathematician and in order to get the correct answer, you must memorize and use the appropriate magical equation. I blame the teachers and professors of the early-on math courses. The... read more
Sure, we have all heard our math teachers say "Study for your test tomorrow." While we can all agree the importance of studying and getting prepared for an exam, not many math teachers actually tell you HOW to study. I am sure we have all spent time making flash cards, staring at our notes, or watching last minute videos on youtube, only to realize the test results often don't correlate... read more

Here are some basic tips for helping students succeed in Mathematics 1. Memorize the rules (For an example when multiplying two negatives the answer becomes positive) 2. Review example problems 3. Be efficient in basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division 4. Show your work 5. Double check your answers 6. Ask questions if you do... read more
Here are 48 of my favorite math words in 12 groups of 4. Each group has words in it that can be thought of at the same time or are a tool for doing math. between on over in each multiply of many ratio divisions distribution compartments limit neighborhood proximity boundary infinite infitesmal mark differentiation graph width height depth circle sphere point interval hyper extra spacetime dimensional geometry proportion sketch spatial four table cross squared target rearrange outcome result area volume space place What... read more
I'm going to list what I believe are the key concepts that you need to master across different math subjects. These are the tools that I have to use most often in order to solve problems, so you should get very familiar with the theory behind them and very comfortable with applying them. Algebra 1: order of operation (PEMDAS) solving equations slope-intercept form of... read more
This post will be an ongoing project for one of my students who loves history but isn't so much into math. I know that studying math history has made the math much more interesting for me personally after I started to become aware of the stories and struggles of the people who strove to bring this field to us in its present form. Things weren't always so simple and clear, and it... read more
Dr. Bob suggests that a basic mathematics course be introduced for nurses and medical professionals on a multi-year schedule in well-defined programs with continuous certification as a continuous program in hospitals and certification programs especially if medical errors occur.

When taking a math course there are four things that a student should learn. The Fundamentals The fundamentals include the definitions, the rules of operations, and the tactics of manipulation. It is essential that you understand the definitions and can visualize them. The rules of operations need to be practiced until they are second nature but they should never... read more
I am taking from The Official Hunter College High School Test: problem 76 on page 20. We read the following. In the expression below, each letter represents a one digit number. Where the same letter appears, it represents the same number in each case. Each distinct letter represents a different number. In order to make the equation true, what number must replace C? ... read more
Hi there and welcome to my blog! This is my first post, with hopefully many to follow. In my undergraduate years, I learned about a very curious summation discovered by the great Ramanujan. Since then, whenever a student tells me that they hate mathematics and that it is stupid, I show this to them and they almost always see math in a new and enthusiastic light. Here, I will explain... read more
