I teach math to kids in grades 4-9 using a holistic, personalized approach. I also provide help with executive functioning, which includes note-taking, organization and time management. My philosophy is pretty simple:

Teach the right things

  • Align with existing standards (like CA Common Core Math) and with the content the student is pursuing in school
  • Augment that content where it makes sense
  • Address and close any gaps

Teach the things right

  • Observe, adapt and refine based on the student's needs and learning style
  • Show empathy and kindness, supporting kids and building their confidence
  • Emphasize the importance of exploration and making mistakes
  • Develop true math fluency

Ryan at Elementis Learning helped assess my middle school student’s math abilities and had two tailored, private lessons. Ryan was patient, knowledgeable, organized, easy to work with, and reasonable cost-wise. His single room office had a very calm atmosphere that can allow for focused work.  Ryan can be a great private tutor for students who are willing to learn.
