Tamara White Grades 9 - 11 Mathematics Teacher

I am very easy going and I teach with my student's needs as a focus. I usually do a preliminary free class to have an idea of my potential student's personality, weaknesses, fears and strengths. This is important to me so that I can plan my classes and tailor them for that specific student. The preliminary free class also allows the student to see my personality and gives them an opportunity to ask any pertinent questions that they may have. I use Zoom or Google Meet as my digital platform.
Over the years of teaching and preparing students for C.X.C now C.S.E.C Mathematics, I have an impeccable track record. On average 92% of my students are able to attain passing grades ranging from grades I to III, with a majority of them attaining grades I and II.
I am a believer that practice, practice, and more practice is what will yield great results and with this in mind, I make notes and power point presentations to aid in the online learning process. Students will also have these notes emailed to them along with practice worksheets at no additional cost.
