Hi families, my name is Ray.

I’m an in-home or online private math tutor. I come to you directly and meet you 1-on-1 to help clear all of your math class worries, frustrations, confusions and questions.

I can help from 5th grade up through Pre-Calculus. I recommend my friend Joe for anything AP Calculus and above, he’s an author and grader for the AP exam so he’s a solid resource to have.

If you’re considering hiring a tutor for your children please keep me in mind. Feel free to send a text, email or call anytime.

I’m happy to talk about the process, expectations, payments or scheduling flexibility.

My overall goal in any tutoring session is for the student to be completely independent and confident answering questions on their own.

By the end of each session they should be able to solve any problem without any intervention from anyone because that’s exactly how it will be on their test or quiz.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely,
Ray

The more we set our minds in the right direction, the easier it will become.

We can use any number of tools today to do the work for us quickly and efficiently.

We are surrounded by applications that can be used by a 5 year old to solve advanced Calc problems within seconds for FREE!

The goal isn’t this though.
The goal isn’t to put answers near a problem.
It’s a trap.

The goal is to:
-overcome the challenge
-read
-ask questions
-analyze given information
-make comparisons
-find patterns
-reason
-make sense
-apply
-build resources
-find help
-repeat

That’s the goal.
To go through it, to overcome it, to learn through challenge.

Kids, seek the challenge and enjoy. It’s an opportunity.

Only a fool stands on their island of opportunities and looks for other land.

It’s an opportunity for you to grow.

Every time you overcome these challenges, you get BETTER!

You get faster.
Quicker.
More efficient.
Smarter.
Smoother.
You become a better speaker.
A better listener.
A better questioner.
Your imagination improves.
Your creativity expands.
Your friendships strengthen.

Yes, sometimes math is hard, but that’s the point.
Enjoy it.

Beware of the trap that is FREE and anyone can use.

All the best,
Ray

The goal isn’t to be done quickly, the goal is to overcome the intellectual challenge.

That’s where and when learning occurs.

When you see students easily grasp topics, remember that's the result of persistent practice, focus and strong reading comprehension, not their starting point.

Begin to set up daily habits and routines that develop study skills, time management, healthy perspectives, and emotional strength.

For example, the time following dismissal should immediately be used for homework completion.

Sports and after-school activities are another story, but if kids are home, complete homework while it’s still fresh in their minds.

Waiting for “later” hurts in more ways than one: they forget, they are tired, their energy fades, and motivation is gone. A strongly recommended daily habit is to utilize the time immediately following dismissal.

If you don’t have that luxury, tackle the task as soon as you get home from wherever you are.

Another recommended routine is simple: just go through your day, organize your backpack, throw out unused or no longer needed material, stay neat, and stay organized. Just by spending 5 minutes reflecting and going back through the material of each class, you stay fresh, things pop up that you may have forgotten, and you’re naturally and inadvertently “studying.”

Another simple routine is to just talk about the day, start at homeroom, and go through each period.

What did you do in each class? Make any new friends? How was lunch? Any conflicts today? Drama? Who’s your favorite teacher? Who’s your least favorite teacher?

Just talk.

And finally, make sleep a priority. Rest and let your body repair so that you can wake up early and do it all again, re-energized!

Good luck and all the best, Ray.
