Math Tutoring · Pre-Algebra
Pre-Algebra tutoring that starts where your student actually is.
Variables, integers, and order of operations - the launchpad for Algebra I.
Who this is for
Students typically in grades 7–8 preparing for Algebra I, and adults returning to math after time away. Pre-Algebra is where math stops being about numbers alone and starts being about ideas.
Common challenges
- The first real encounter with variables and abstract notation
- Order of operations mistakes that cascade through every problem
- Properties of mathematics learned as rules to memorize, not tools to use
- Summer slide before Algebra I begins
What students work on
- Integer fluency and operations with rational numbers
- Expressions, properties, and the distributive property done right
- One- and two-step equations and inequalities
- Transformations - translating, reflecting, and rotating figures
How instruction is tailored
Because Dr. Cheryl spent 20+ years watching exactly where Algebra I students stumble, she teaches Pre-Algebra backwards from that goal - every session builds a skill that Algebra I will demand.
