(It also helps to have the enthusiasm of someone who loves teaching and aura of being a wise elder.) I taught third grade and sixth grade in two different Waldorf Schools. I was their class teacher for all subjects but I especially enjoyed teaching elementary math and algebra.

To progress smoothly to higher math a student must have a working knowledge of basic math. In a gentle supportive manner I have been able to guide students through basic math so that algebra becomes a working tool and not a dreaded stumbling block. One of the keys is to explore where a student has become blocked and to provide support as they overcome the gaps in their knowledge of how to perform math.
