Math Tutoring From Maui To
Phoenix

Crewton Ramone can help with
your homeschool.

 i have openings but you need to have base ten blocks.

You may want to take a look at the testimonials page first.

When i did Math Tutoring On Maui, (via the internet) classes usually lasted for an hour. Although i also have students who do back to back classes, for two hours. i keep it fast & fun so even 7 year olds are amazed at how fast the time goes. i do half hours but prefer full hours...or 90 min.  You don't rush play, and by you, i mean me.  Let them play and learn math, rather than learn math while playing they will learn math BY playing. 

Classes via the internet!

i have students from all over the world, and people have come to training from (in no particular order) UK, most provinces in Canada, New Zealand, Australia,  Ireland, Egypt, France, India, several nations in Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong (i almost moved to Hong Kong) and of course just about all 50 states. Come to training, you might make an international friend, your sons and daughters can play math together via the internet too.

Some training excerpts can be found here. 

You might be curious to see what goes on during tutoring, here is a class with a teenager who need help with remedial math skills...so we 

 Example is the lesson:

Rates:

One student:  

$75.00 / hour

$300.00.00 paid in advance = 5 classes, or $60.00 @hour.

Two students $50.00 per hour. $300.00.00 paid in advance = 6 classes

Four Students $25.00 per student. $150.00 paid in advance = 6 classes

And now you can afford twice a week...

Contact for more info and availability. At the moment i have openings Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  i try to schedule classes with more than one student at a time, no matter where you live we can do math via the Internet. Sibling discount. i can invoice you if you like. 

i use Gmail Meet/ Vid Chat. 

i've had classes with as many as five states and two countries represented, all you need is a set of blocks and a high speed connection. 

Groups of students are the most fun. Often times i tutor parents, so they can play with their kids... i tutor your child/student, you sit and watch and i explain to you what i'm doing and why, then you can practice with others. Many of my math moms have made side income and some of the people i have trained who have gone full time, charge MORE than i do (love you Amy, love you Dawn) and support themselves comfortably.  

i'm also available teach your homeschool via the internet...

A master class for 1 to 2 hours, one day a week, big screen and internet connection is all we need...and base ten blocks.  ALL participants need their hands on the blocks.

Playing and having fun when they are little DOES teach them math. They MASTER math facts, they know how to count. Multiplication facts are available for instant recall.  Writing takes up too much time, especially when it's $1 @ minute. Click a few links, mostly at this age it is endless games and activities that teach math, specifically addends and multiplication.  45 addends, 400 multiplication facts. Mastering these facts lowers cognitive load, making math easy and fun.  

Adding a balance board makes math even more fun, "count by sevens while you balance". Look a the diagram below, now you understand why you see these during math classes. Kinesthetic learners aren't left out of math when taught this way.  

 Visual. Auditory. Kinesthetic.

Using base ten blocks while engaging both hands activates more of the brain, drawing and making symbols creates whole brain learning.  i could make this a very lengthy page where i describe how concept based teaching with base ten blocks activates every area shown in the image, right down to the spinal cord. 

But i think i'll just make a short video instead.

"Stand on your balance board and count for me by sevens..." 

Base 10 Blocks Guarantee Success!

Whole brain activities are fun, they feel goo too. Your brain likes being used.  Add endorphins to the whole brain exercises and 90 minutes flies by in an instant. 

"Count for me by sevens while on your balance board". 

Math can be mind blowing. Think about how this method, using base ten blocks activates the whole brain.  As you watch the video note how we check off all the boxes, every area described is activated. Compare to symbols only visual presentations from text books...

Using base ten blocks allows me to have success where others have failed.  Allows me to get more done faster with better & deeper understanding than traditional paper and pencil symbol only instruction which is usually horrifyingly boring to six year olds (and their mothers).

Over he years closing in on forty now i have gone done many rabbit's holes because of math.  Brain function and neuroscience is fascinating, and it all boils down to math. The whole thing is described mathematically, the mathematics describes reality numerically. To include the frequency and vibrations created by the brain itself. 

If you would teach math, you have to know little bit about how the brain works. 

i wrote a blog post about this years ago that is still relevant today. Click the pic:

More "advanced math" is easily understood because they are not bogged down in computation. Computation is how we do math, it is not THE math. Concept, critical thinking skills, logic and reasoning are the product of the math learned though concept based teaching. 

Using paper an pencil forces the left and right hemisphere to talk to each other. 

Here is an example of tutoring on video. This is intermediate to advanced because you'll notice that i don't use the base ten blocks very much, mostly the symbols.  But i do draw some pictures...the student is building some of them (which you don't see but you can hear). We used manipulatives extensively to start. 

i also do training via the internet, usually on Fridays or week ends. They cover various topics from getting started to trig and algebra, parent teacher training and more...

You usually get a training/tutoring when you buy a Passport.

Trainings are usually $200.00 and you can just PayPal me...or mail me a check...have not done many of late.
