I'm a math and science tutor and have materials that I have prepared to explain hard ideas ... like pressure in fluids [often mis-taught as the 'weight' of the fluid above], what we mean by the word 'energy', why the astronauts in the International Space Station are floating [it's NOT because "there's no gravity there"]... and various tricks for learning useful shortcuts in math, like how to instantly know the length of the diagonal of a square if you know the area, or the length of the perimeter, or the length of a side, why the angles of a triangle must add up to 180 degrees.
I'd like to upload these things so everyone can download them. Is that possible here?

That's very thoughtful of you to share this. My daughter and her husband just got a tutor for my grandson. He's a good student but having a little problem with geometry. It's one of those test that you have to pass in order to graduate. My daughter found a tutor that attends UF and is working to get his degree as a mechanical engineer. It's $15 an hour. He works with him 2hrs. two days a week. He just started with the tutor so I cant say how it's going but I just wanted to add this information with yours. There are college students who will work with your high school kids without charging an arm and a leg.

I am glad you got help for your grandson.
I love to share all options because there is a solution for every person and size of wallet.
I don’t think it would be fair to give anyone the impression that Iphones are the only phones on the market.
My fees are a reflection of my degrees and 20 years of experience but there are so many other options that people should be aware of. 👍

I live in the Philippines and my wife and I was worrying about our son's schooling. The students here have been out of school all year because of this Covid thing. I've been teaching him English reading and basic math but I have no idea about reading Tagalog which is the native language here. My wife is a teacher and she is so busy she can barely keep up with teaching more less the house duties. I told her I was going to just home school him so this material you posted is a great primer to get him started.

Tibisay Felida Do you have any suggestions on a good, reasonable priced, Christian home school program?
Tibisay Felida
Jesus Saves I am so glad to be of service. I will keep sharing my favorite materials.
Sometimes tutoring your children is difficult. Not because you lack the knowledge, but because children don’t have discipline when they are with their parents. In that case a tutor is always an option.
The eyes of a stranger does miracles in those cases.
You will find something that works out perfectly for you.

Jesus Saves Jesus Saves I don't because I am not a Christian, so I have never focused on that specifically. I look at programs as a linguist regardless of whether it is Buddhist, Christian, Wiccan or secular. And even if I knew about a specific Christian program, that still doesn't mean it's the right program for you because of each child's temperament. Like some kids are visual, others retain better when they listen to something or do it themselves. Every child is a world. For reading, I use www.readinga-z.com with my students. There are similar programs for maths as well, but I teach languages.

Oh...my wife prints out the assignments for each student for the week, the parents comes to the school and picks them up and then she has to grade each paper.
Tibisay Felida
That is the position of the teacher working in a classroom. The job of a tutor working one on one with a student is different.

School is one size fits all. A teacher can serve a group of 30 students effortlessly. As a tutor, I never have more than 12 students because what I do is costume made for each student. So more than ten students become overwhelming.
