John Brinson Math Tutoring
About
Hi, I am an Elementary Public School teacher that has tutored all ages. I take pride in education and an understanding that learning can/should be fun. My approach is to find every students' passion and link content to that passion. I am always looking for news to improve and increase productivity. Even as a teacher, I am always in the mindset of a student; constantly trying to develop.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, my immediate goal is to build respect and rapport. From there, we will set goals, objectives, and a plan of action to meet them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently a teacher in Prince George's County. In addition to the county's required bi-quartly Professional Development classes, I am in a county sanctioned program for teachers in STEM that builds techniques for our pedagogy.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I am very flexible and like to work with my students/clients. I start at $20/hr. Prices may increase based on the needs of the student.

STEM Fairs are being turned in. It is a joy seeing all of the hard work and effort put in.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How do I learn best as a student? Does this tutor offer the style of teaching that will best suite my needs?
