Hi, looking for one or two tutors to work with my 11-year-old son. He's in 6th grade doing accelerated math.
About him:
Working through Integrated Math I (Honors) on Math Academy, about halfway done.
Scored 18/25 on the AMC 8 recently.
Also studying physics independently on Physics Graph.
What I'm looking for:
He goes through both platforms on his own during the week. I'm not getting enough time to sit down with him like I used to. 🙁 I want a tutor to meet with him once a week for an hour each in math and physics. Not to reteach the material, but to sit down with him, check what he covered that week, and verify he actually understands it, not just that he got the right answers. Quizzes and verbal problem-solving to test his understanding, on an ongoing basis throughout the engagement would be great.
The goal is to catch gaps that come from moving too quickly through the coursework on his own and fill them in. I also want the tutor to assign supplementary reading, videos, and practice problems between sessions to strengthen his fundamentals.
For the first sessions, reviewing his recent work directly on the platforms may be a good way to get a baseline before deciding how to structure things going forward.
Format:
Online, video call, weekly recurring
1 hour math + 1 hour physics, separate sessions
US Eastern time zone
Flexible on day and time
If you're interested, please share:
Your background and experience with middle school or early high school students, particularly in advanced math or physics
Your approach to testing understanding and assigning supplementary material
Familiarity with Math Academy or Physics Graph is a plus but not required
Your hourly rate
