Problem Solved Tutoring

This past spring was hard emotionally. I don’t usually have seniors (many seniors don’t take a math class), but at least half my students were seniors this year and… while I’m very excited for them and their futures, it’s always hard to see them go.

Every year is a different vibe; this year’s was watching students I’ve had for 3-5 years graduate! I love what I do so much because I get to know my students over multiple years. I love watching them grow and become young adults.

The best part of my job is when a student writes me a thank you note. These mean the world to me.

Thank you to all my class of 2024 students. It’s been such a pleasure participating in your education. Congrats, graduates. Keep in touch and let me know how you’re doing! 🫶

(My students and I did at least 3,965 Ferris wheel problems over the last 6 weeks. The radius of this one is 65ft, it sits on an 8ft platform, and one full rotation takes 60sec. I’m writing this down so I can turn it into a problem later. You’re welcome. 🙃)

Fractions confuse math students. Tale as old as time.

If you or your student are struggling with fractions, I find having students turning fractions into words helps them better understand how to add and subtract.
