Hi, I'm Rebecca!

Hello! My name is Rebecca; I am a mathematics lover with both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Mathematics. I've been tutoring students in math from elementary to high school for 15 years and have been a middle and high school classroom mathematics teacher for five years. I have dedicated my career to helping students not only understand but also appreciate the beauty and logic of this remarkable subject. My extensive experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and effective teaching strategies, enabling me to guide learners of all levels towards achieving their academic goals. I am committed to making math accessible and enjoyable, fostering a positive learning environment where students can build their confidence and excel.

Subjects

Tutoring mathematics at different educational levels requires a tailored and flexible approach, as each stage of learning presents unique developmental challenges and opportunities for growth. I adapt my teaching and tutoring methods depending on students' prior knowledge, comfort level, and current topic of study, and always strive to make math an accessible and rewarding subject for all my students.

Elementary Math

For elementary school students, the focus is on building a strong foundation in basic arithmetic, both written & mental, establishing number sense, and developing a positive attitude towards math. Engaging, hands-on activities and visual aids are crucial to help young learners grasp fundamental concepts. Storytelling and games are also effective tools to make learning fun and relatable.

Middle School Math

With middle school students, the focus shifts to reinforcing foundational skills while building upon more complex elementary topics like fractions, decimals, and pre-algebra. At this stage, it's important to cultivate critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Middle school math begins to tie together different topics as students see the relevance of math in everyday life.

High School Math

Tutoring at the high school level emphasizes mastery of concepts and preparation for standardized tests. A structured, step-by-step approach is essential, alongside developing analytical skills and logical reasoning. Providing practice problems and offering insights into advanced topics are key strategies to help students excel and prepare for college-level mathematics.
