Class overview

As a math tutor specializing in subjects such as Elementary School Math, Geometry, and SAT Math, I have developed a teaching style that emphasizes problem-solving, demonstration, and interactive learning. I believe in structuring our sessions systematically to focus on understanding concepts in detail. I also incorporate whiteboarding to help students visualize and interact with math concepts directly. Additionally, I provide short quizzes to master specific concepts and create tailored plans with interactive problems and visual tools to enhance learning. My goal is to make math engaging and easily understandable for students at all levels.

During a recent lesson, polynomial factorization was thoroughly reviewed, encompassing both quadratic and cubic polynomials. This preparation was crucial for the learner's upcoming SAT retake in Greensboro. The individual actively practiced factoring and sketching quadratic equations, and also worked on factorizing cubic polynomials using educated guessing and polynomial division. To reinforce these concepts, practice questions were assigned.
