Taft Math Tutoring

In my fifth Taft math tutoring session, I worked primarily with Kaileen and her friend Jennifer. They've really showed so much improvement. They finished their homework (which was on fractions) quickly, and they wanted me to give them word problems. This time I wrote multi-step word problems that combined addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication, and they solved them with ease. I also gave them word problems about fractions, since that was what they were learning about, involving pizza slices. They were solving the word problems faster than I could write them! Kaileen also told me that she wasn't going to be coming back to the Taft math center next year, because her family is moving to Menlo Park, and she'll be going to school there next year. While I was sad that I wouldn't get to see her anymore, I was also very excited for her and her family. I hope that being in Menlo Park will give Kaileen more opportunities, educational and otherwise. I hope and believe that with her love of learning and her vastly improved math skills, her transition to a new school will not be too difficult. I want to keep working at the Taft math center for the rest of my time at Menlo. Every Tuesday, the kids' energy and enthusiasm brings a smile to my face, and I'm excited to keep working with them, helping their math skills and confidence, and keeping them excited about education.
