Tutor by Nature

Tutor by Nature Professional Mathematics tutoring for grades 7 to 12, by a certified teacher with 17 years classroom experience. There is NO secret trick to learning Math.

Mathematics is a difficult subject for many people, but it is also a most useful and important tool which can help you thrive in this modern world. The reason that many people have problems with Math is that they are missing a few key skills and/or concepts which makes it more difficult to make sense of new topics when they come up in school. This cycle continues.... Math is a language, and just a

s with any other language, students need a solid foundation to build their knowledge upon. As a Math teacher for 15 years I know how to help you discover your weaknesses, and then work with you to strengthen them. Once you have mastered all the foundational skills and concepts, we can build from there onto more advanced Math, and you will be able to see how it is all connected. When you really know and understand Math, you don't even need to memorize it, and you will see this for yourself over time. It IS something you CAN do. You just have to keep doing it, checking it, thinking about where you went wrong, and doing it again, until you get it right. That is it. Obviously having the support of someone who knows the subject inside and out is helpful, so please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, or to organize a free introductory session. Thank you.

I am saying goodbye to several students this year, some of whom have been with me for 5 years! If you know anyone who needs support in math, I have availability, and my rates are reasonable. I have been working in Mahone Bay since 2017, and can provide references.

Which prisms would make a good dice, and why?
You could ask this question to any student in grade 8 and above, and they should at least know what a prism is, and might even be able to calculate the surface area and volume.
Why is this a great question to ask? Most people love to play games, which often involve using a dice to generate random numbers, which is a key thing to understand to learn probability and game theory. It does require some knowledge of math to understand the problem, but it can also be analysed using basic intuition. Some students might even decide to draw or print nets of prisms, construct their own models and then experiment to collect data to answer the problem. This all sounds like an incredibly rich and educational way to spend an afternoon, as well as being great fun!
I wish all math classes could be as rich as this task!

Please get in touch if you have any other questions. Thank you for your interest!

I made this video with the same computer I use to tutor online, so you can see exactly what to expect in a live lesson. The only difference is that I don't usually play music!đŸ˜„

I just found a website choc-a-bloc with visual patterns. It has animals, flowers, vehicles and all manner of pretty things to look at. Much better than looking at the black dots that most textbooks use!

Some would say that calculation has no place in affairs of the heart, but this is an exception!
If you can figure this out, then please post your solution in the comments below and I will let you know!
My heartfelt thanks go to the Centre for Education in Math & Computing for their Problem of the Week series, that I regularly use in Math class.
Whatever grade level, you will find many fascinating and challenging puzzles on their website, along with helpful solutions, all free to download!

A Fibonacci Flower is one that has 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 or 13 petals, or another of the numbers in Fibonacci's Sequence.
How many of the five flowers in this short video are Fibonacci Flowers (not counting the first flower shown)?

It feels like Spring here in Nova Scotia. It isn't yet, but it's never too soon to start thinking about flowers!
This year, whenever you see a flower, count its petals to see if it has a Fibonacci number. You might be surprised by how many there are - I know I always am!

This beautiful photo was taken in Ecuador by my friend Ivan Kashinsky (IvanKPhoto.com). I edited out the young girls' ball, to create a playful Math(s) problem, which uses the Cartesian Coordinate system.
If you need help learning Math(s), I provide online tutoring for grades 8 to 12. I have been teaching for over 17 years, and I still love doing it!
