My name is Javaughn, and I am a high school junior who teaches math of any kind from grades K-10. I have two years of experience, and I give quality lessons from the comfort of your home. I will go in detail about subjects and concepts, and check for understanding using a variety of activities such as multiple choice questions, matching problems, word problems, etc. At the beginning and end of every lesson, I will go over what will be covered in the current lesson and next lesson respectively. - I will structure lessons based on how YOU learn best, because I understand that different people learn differently.

Dolores and I started working together my freshman year of college when I struggle with pre calculus and kept working together for the 3 following years as I had to take Calc 1 and 2 and linear algebra for my Computer science major. She’s the best teacher I’ve ever had, even better than my professors, and it was a blessing to be able to work with her all these years! Thank you so much Dolores »
