prealgebra
Pre-algebra can be taught as young as second grade... n+5=7 ... and children can get excited about math and doing equations and knowing that they are doing algebra! I love seeing a child excited about math -- and showing them the simple things in life that we do that involve math, often without our realizing it. It is fun to teach a child that algebra is all about solving problems and having organized ways to figure out problems. However, being an elementary teacher, I know that having a very strong foundation in math facts is of utmost importance. Drilling addition and subtraction facts early on is necessary for a child to find success in pre-algebra or any other type of math. Drills can be fun and flashcards can be fun, too!! A child also needs to have good understanding of basic math concepts, too, in order to understand the workings of algebra. I am a teacher of early mathematics, and I enjoy the simplicity of teaching and developing the strong foundation in concepts and facts that are needed for pre-algebra in the later years.

Our son is doing well in school, but has had trouble with handwriting and sentence structure. From the start she set our son at ease with her calm nature. Joan uses her time with our son wisely and after each lesson, follows up with notes via WyzAnt/email for our review. I can forward these notes on to our son's teacher, so she knows what is going on. Most of all, our son's attitude about learning and doing a little extra work towards his education has improved greatly. I believe this is a direct result of Joan's influence. I would highly recommend Joan for your tutoring needs.

We are so blessed to have Joan as our daughter's teacher. Joan is someone who is extremely passionate towards helping kids with gaining academic knowledge in the most systematic, innovative and effective ways. She does this from her heart, a very sincere and professional. She is always very punctual and focused. In the shortest time period, my daughter started displaying tremendous improvement in reading/writing alphabets, saying words and sentences with correct pronunciation. She also started counting numbers all the way to 100 in short time span. All these would not have been possible without Joan's teaching methods. Another wonderful aspect of Joan is her ability to connect with kids. She has obviously become my daughter's best friend and we always hear my kid talking about Joan and it sounds so great. As a parent, I strongly recommend Joan to any parent who wants the best for their kids.

Joan has dramatically helped our first grader develop reading fluency and confidence. She introduces new material and advances through curriculum while also practicing and providing a solid review, reinforcement of reading skills.

Joan is very patient and knowledgeable. I feel that Hayden is going to learn a lot from Joan. She is worth every penny!

Miss Joan was teaching my 4 year old. When they started my son was completely disinterested, impatient, and got easily distracted. Very soon after we started going to miss Joan I saw great improvement in his attitude - now we can actually sit down and study together for an hour, which was impossible before. In addition among other things he learned all letters (he knew some before, but not 100%), learned how to hold his pencil and, most importantly, that studying can be fun!
