Math Coaching by Math Confidence

Robin has worked with children, young adults and adults since 2000 building Math knowledge, confidence and study skills for academic, professional and personal success.  Her refreshing and comforting approach engages the learner and enables them to accomplish their academic and personal goals.

Some students have needed a study partner while others have needed a turnaround.
Many learners have improved their knowledge, skills, and scores preparing with Robin for standardized exams (state tests, SHSAT, Regents, SAT, SAT II) and/or classroom tests while boosting their attitude and comfort with Math.   Students and their families benefit from the Math Confidence advantage that helps students learn, retain and understand the material in a relaxed and secure manner.  

College level programs of study, outside of math-specific fields still require challenging math courses.  Achievement in these courses, such as calculus, teaches students perseverance and problem-solving skills essential in many professional careers (i.e. medicine).  These skills provide professional candidates with a competitive edge in their chosen fields and give a sense of personal accomplishment. 

Prof. Schwartz designs and delivers workshops both as a presenter and facilitator and attends many seminars and conferences for lifelong learning.  Her memorable nicknames for Math concepts such as "the lonely girl at the dance" for the middle term in (x+3)^2 and "the Math police" who drive up when fractions are 'illegally' canceled make learners smile (and remember)!

A complete contemporary Math preparatory course looks vaguely like this. You’d have to go through hours and hours of video instruction on all high school Math topics. That part requires a DVD player. In addition to that, you have to work out practice problems on printable worksheets. You need to get pencil and paper for that part.

The contents include problem solving and calculations, interpretation and analysis of charts, graphs and tables. On top of exercises meant to develop math skills, test taking skills are also interwoven through the content. Tests that need to be completed are part of the package. Answer keys are provided.Some packages include a math glossary. And others have in their appendix the offical math formula page provided during the actual GED exam.
