Math Tutor Available
Did your child struggle with math last year? Do you try to help, only to get upset and frustrated?
My name is Philip Wolfson. I am a recently retired math teacher with 20 years of experience working with students of all types and ages: students who are stuck for some reason, bright students who are bored, students who want to accelerate their math, ELL students, and students with learning disabilities.
I work with individuals, small groups, and home school groups.
We can meet at your location, a library or school library, or at my home.
My specialty is working with students from grades 5 through 8.
“…you made it easier to understand…”
“…fractions and decimals to the next level…”
“…challenging and fun…”
Call or email me to set up a free, introductory meeting.
