We have two middle school students, one entering sixth grade and the other entering seventh grade. They attend Kumon, and they possess basic arithmetic skills, but they require additional experience with word problems and other challenging problems, similar to those encountered by students participating in math competitions (e.g., AMC8).
We are looking for a math tutor with the following background:
- Education and experience in teaching;
- Willingness to tutor IN-PERSON in South Brooklyn;
- Knowledge of the math competitions and experience prepping students for them;
- Books of challenge problems that you have used in the past and enjoy working with;
- Willingness, ability, and experience in coaching students through the problems rather than just telling them how to solve it.
- Willingness to assign homework and go over it with them.
Pay is $25/hr. These will be 2-hour sessions, probably 2X/wk. None of the above is negotiable. If you are interested, please send a custom cover email and resume/linkedin if you have one. Thank you!
