The classes that decide their GPA

Math and science are where most middle and high school GPAs are won or lost. I teach them to the exact Utah course sequence your student is enrolled in, grades 6 through 12.

Math

Where most of the calls start.

  • 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math
  • Pre-Algebra and Algebra
  • Secondary Math I, II, and III
  • Geometry
  • Pre-Calculus
  • Statistics

Science

The subject I taught in my own classroom.

  • Middle school integrated science
  • Earth and space science
  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • Physics
  • Physical science

Reading support

Often the hidden cause of a math grade.

A student who cannot decode a word problem will fail a math test they could otherwise pass. When reading is the real bottleneck, I work on that too. One of my middle school students moved up two full grade levels in language arts.

Also available: study skills, organization, and homework routines that survive past February.

Taught to Utah’s actual course sequence

Utah does not run the standard Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 track. It runs Secondary Math I, II and III, which braid algebra, geometry and statistics together across all three years. A tutor who does not know that will teach your student the right math at the wrong time.

I taught inside that sequence, so our sessions line up with the unit your student is actually in this week.
