Hi! I’m a recent high school graduate with a strong background in math, including Math AP, and I'm gearing up to study Data Science! Math has always been my passion, and I’m currently exploring how to help others understand it better. I’ve found that guiding peers through their math struggles makes me happy, and I’m eager to keep learning how to tutor more effectively. But when I am not doing Math, I am probably enjoying some video editing, nature or just sleeping.

Factors and multiples

Sat 12:30 AM - 1:30 AM UTCNov 23, 12:30 AM - 1:30 AM UTC

We will kick off this series with Factors and Multiples. In this class, we’ll explore the building blocks of numbers by diving into factors, multiples, prime numbers, and divisibility rules.  Together we’ll solve problems as a team, breaking down each step along the way. Then, you’ll have the chance to practice independently, solidifying what you’ve learned. You will have a 10 question OPTIONAL homework.

Patterns

Tue 12:30 AM - 1:30 AM UTCNov 26, 12:30 AM - 1:30 AM UTC

In this interactive class, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of patterns! We’ll explore how to recognize, extend, and create patterns using numbers and shapes, building essential skills for problem-solving in math. Together, we’ll work through a series of pattern problems as a group, discussing strategies and discovering the “rules” that make each pattern work. Then, you’ll have a chance to try some on your own to put your skills to the test. You will have a 10 question OPTIONAL homework assignment.

Variables & expressions

Tue 12:30 AM - 1:30 AM UTCDec 10, 12:30 AM - 1:30 AM UTC

In this class, we’ll unlock the power of variables and expressions—the building blocks of algebra! We’ll start by exploring what variables are, why we use them, and how they help us represent unknown values in math. Then, we’ll learn to write and interpret expressions by combining variables with numbers and operations. Together, we’ll work through examples, translating word problems into mathematical expressions and simplifying them step-by-step. Afterward, you’ll have the chance to practice creating and working with expressions on your own. You will have a 10 question OPTIONAL homework after class.

Equations & inequalities introduction

Tue 12:30 AM - 1:30 AM UTCDec 17, 12:30 AM - 1:30 AM UTC

In this practical class, we’ll focus on using percents and rational numbers to solve real-world word problems. We’ll start by reviewing the basics of working with percents, fractions, and decimals, and then dive into strategies for setting up and solving problems involving these concepts. Together, we’ll work through a variety of examples, from calculating discounts and percentages to operations with fractions and mixed numbers. You’ll also have time to practice solving word problems independently, using logical steps to find solutions. After this class you will have an OPTIONAL 10 question homework.THIS IS AN OPTIONAL SESSION. Each student will complete an assessment of all the topics covered, and then we will go through concepts missed on the assessment.
