Go Figure Math Tutoring

I get to know what math concepts the student is struggling with. I also like to find out what kind of learner the student is (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.).

Once I know these things, I focus on those concepts, but also make sure they continue to master the concepts they're not struggling with. I do this with online programs such as Khan Academy, as well as hands-on lessons and worksheets for reinforcement. 

I am a certified math teacher and taught middle school math for 11 years.

I worked for Upward Bound at Galveston College, and I loved helping students prepare for higher education. I would talk to them about college life and how fun it can be, but also the responsibility of college life. From there, I decided I wanted to become a teacher and got certified.

I have worked with 5th - 8th grade students. These students were various types of learners, some had learning disabilities and some were special education students.

I would always create a game as a test review for my students. It didn't matter what game it was, they were always excited to play to review for their test. They were always competitive, so Kahoot was one of their favorite games because it shows who the lead scorer was. We had lots of fun.

Make sure the teacher cares about you, your learning style, and what you want to get from their teaching.

I believe any questions students have are important because they are important to them.
