News –  I think almost everyone is back in school now. Hopefully you’re getting back into the swing of things and your time slots for tutoring are getting filled quickly. Today we’re going to be talking about some tips for tutoring Math in Grade school and Jr. High. Hopefully you’ll find something you can use to make your life easier.

Please note if you would like us to talk about something specific then please let us know.

Tips for tutoring math for grade school and Jr. High.

One of the first things you want to do when tutoring Math (in grade school, Jr. high and beyond) is to do an assessment test. You can find Math assessment tests for almost every grade here – http://saxonhomeschool.hmhco.com/en/resources/result.htm?title=Placement

Based on the results you get you’ll get an idea of some things you’ll want to work on. One of the big things we’ve run into is trouble with multiplication tables.

You can find some free multiplication flash cards here – http://www.multiplication.com/sites/default/files/BWFlashcards0-12.pdf (note that link is for the pdf file).

Here are some sites that may help you with your math tutoring.

I’m a huge fan of the Khan Academy – http://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic watch the videos with your student, do exercises related to the subject matter.

Need some worksheets, then you can create your own – http://www.superkids.com/aweb/tools/math/ .

Got your own tips for tutoring Math. We would love to hear them.

Links you can use – If you’re tutoring college – get on the colleges tutor list. An example of one can be found here – http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/courses/learning/tutors . A good way to get more students and it won’t cost you a dime. You’ll just need to check out the universities website in your area. Another idea would be to put an ad in their school newspaper.

We love questions, comments, and ideas you would like to share. You can leave a comment on our blog, or just hit reply if this is a newsletter.

Hope you have a wonderful week.

Parting thoughts – today you have 100% of the rest of your life left. Tom Landry.
