Structured Distance Learning — Chemistry, Physics and Calculus Tutoring
Distance learning presents a unique challenge: students are easily bored and attention wanders. Teachers themselves often struggle with online presentation skills. Which is where I can help. I provide a much needed, highly structured environment outside the classroom that keeps students focused and on track academically.
For students, this results in higher test scores and increased understanding of difficult material that may be glossed over or neglected in the classroom. My familiarity with the Common Core curriculum and my ability to clarify complex concepts ensures that students get a solid foundation in their academic pursuits.
This structured approach to distance learning provides a dependable, consistent core of instruction for online students that carries over week-to-week and month-to-month during the school year. When county dictates permit, my online classes will return to stuctured physical classes in my Moraga office.
HERE'S HOW MY ONLINE AND IN-CLASS PROGRAMS WORK
Physical classes resume when County Guidelines permit. Currently, I do small group classes that meet online once a week for 1 hour. Group classes allow kids to interact with each other and me in a positive, dynamic manner.
Different teachers slice and dice the new Common Core curriculum in different ways. I follow each teacher’s take on the curriculum, shadowing the class each week to ensure students understand concepts and complete assignments. Here’s what I do in each class:
provide a consistent, structured learning environment for students week in and week out
explain key concepts and procedures for the material covered by the teacher that week
distribute handouts and assignment notes in class to reinforce and implement the concepts presented in school
provide practice tests to prepare students for upcoming tests
My classes are specific to a teacher and a school. In this way, I can ensure that the material covered is the most up-to-date and relevant to each students’ needs.
All tutoring sessions are held at my office in Rheem. Cost is a flat rate of $295 per month. Payment can be made in one of two ways:
