Math Tutoring K - 4
As a parent, I understand that when children struggle with math, it lowers their self-confidence, and they often feel "dumb" or that they'll "never get it". My aim is to give your child the tools to develop his or her problem solving skills and understanding. I want your child to bring me a school test with a big smile on his or her face and tell me it was "easy"!
I am able to program and tutor math curriculum for your K to Grade 4 child in the following topics:
- numeracy, the operations, problem solving, memorization
- measurement, telling time
- geometry, 2D & 3D shapes
- decimals, fractions
- patterning, early algebra
- data management, probability
- studying and test taking
By communicating with your child's teacher, I will be able to program for the lesson ahead of time, using the current or upcoming unit of study and help your child prepare for tests.
