Math Tutor

Time: 1-3 hours a week.  The time, day and location is completely up to the tutor and learner.

 

Help Required: Everything from basic math skills (addition and subtraction) to higher level algebra.  Some learners come in hoping to learn functional math, which is usually at a grade 6 level or lower.  More often, however, they are hoping to get into college and need to improve their math skills.  The college entrance exam tests: addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, decimals, fractions, percentages and a very small algebra section. This is one area in which we get many college students who are having problems with first year algebra. 

 

Skills Required: Most of all math tutors need to feel confident in math.  Most students come to Yukon Learn with a serious fear of math and need to be shown that math isn't as scary as they might think.  Positive math attititudes are a definite must!
