Expert and Effective Small Group Math Mini-Class that Gets Results
.
The Neighborhood Math Hour
a Unique Approach solving these common problems
Math Anxiety
Interesting, engaging lessons delivered with patience and empathy help eliminate fear: students can actually look forward to math!
Low Confidence
Students are motivated to believe in their ability as they make progress. Most discouraged students just need a little extra time and practice to become successful.
Learning Loss/Gaps
Initial and ongoing assessment identifies weak areas and targets those for growth and improvement
Lost in the Crowd
With up to 30 or more kids in a class, teachers can only spend an average 2-3 minutes of one-on-one time with students per day. In the Math Hour, groups are capped at 5 five allowing students much more time to get help and immediate feedback
How it works
Students meet in relaxed, in-person small groups (by grade level) for 60 minutes. Sessions follow a proven 10-20-30 structure to maximize focus and engagement:
Fact Fluency Practice
Math facts drills to build confidence, proficiency and accuracy
Daily Lesson
Selected lesson from North Carolina grade-level Math Standards
Group Homework Time/Individual Progress Check-In

TESTIMONIALS
Lavinia
“Gerard has many great qualities as a tutor. His tutoring contributed to my son’s significant improvement in precalculus. Prior to tutoring sessions with Gerard, my son did not grasp the basic concepts of precalculus, and his grade had declined. Once Gerard started working with my son, precalculus became more clear and comprehensible to him for the first time. I remember my son expressing his excitement at his own success by saying, “I actually understand precalculus now!”
Lavinia
“Out of all the tutors I’ve had for math, Gerard is without a doubt the best. He’s very thorough and explains the problems a lot better than my professor did. Thanks to him, I’ve definitely improved. I look forward to working with him again in the future.”
Eileen
“Gerard tutored my daughter in Geometry/Algebra 1 to be ready for Algebra 2 this fall. He was a fantastic tutor. He was patient and knowledgeable. He helped pinpoint the areas she needed to study and got her up to speed quickly. We really appreciate his help! Thank You Gerard! “
Prudence
“Gerard is a great tutor! He takes you step by step on problems that you are having trouble completing, while going back and bridging gaps from prior math lessons. He allows you to try and solve the problems before he goes into correcting mistakes, and when there are errors in your answer he walks through them with you to see where something went wrong.”
Melissa
“My boys really enjoy working with him and look forward to him coming because he is able to reach them through a great knowledge of the material, able to use modern resources like the computer and apps to not only teach them while he is here, but give them tools to work with on their own.”
Rachel
“Gerald has been tutoring our daughter for quite a while now. He is very through and patient. He ensures that the practice problems are well suited for current classwork, and he explains the materials clearly and concisely. Since he has been tutoring our daughter, she has significantly improved her academic performance and her grades. We highly recommend him as a math tutor.”
