You know the saying, "SQUIRREL" when you get distracted? I have a student who gets distracted sometime. We were deep into a problem, and she got that "I just thought of something else" look on her face.
Me: "Wait, no squirrel right now."
Student: "But it's a math squirrel."
Hahaha
Yes, I had her share the math connection after our problem. Cute little math squirrel. :)

Tutoring Story of the Day: I've been with this family for like five years. My student is going into high school. The mom called me to see about getting the younger sibling on my schedule for summer review for the first time.
Mom tells me that the older sibling, my student, said, "Can't we get a different tutor for [the sibling]?"
She didn't want to share. haha
It's always fun getting to meet and work with a sibling!

Congrats to the current graduates!
My old school, where I taught, has another 6 days until their commencement. Has your distract held graduation yet?
20 years ago, I graduated with my Master's from The Ohio State University. Time flies! My undergraduate graduation picture would be a bridesmaid photo from my brother's wedding, and that high school graduation pic doesn't feel like it was as long ago as it really was!
Happy graduation to the seniors!

Zero is not the answer because it is a number. It is possible that zero people could have answered horror, and then that would have been used to find the mean, median, mode, and range.
Mode is the number or numbers that show up the most in a data set. You can have more than one mode. You can have no mode. You can have a mode of zero.

Story problems during my math sessions are like Mad Libs. I asked my student what kids are collecting right now, so I could use that item in our problem. She answers Calico Critters which I wasn't familiar with. When she showed me, I had a major flashback to my childhood.
It's the 40th anniversary of this company. I knew I recognized them! Have you heard of them?
Calico Critters Official Website Welcome to Calico Critters where you can meet your favourite Calico Critters characters, watch videos, read stories and download activities and more!
Awww, gotta love when the emotional support parakeet joins us for the exam review on the student's head. :)

Are you a parent who has been thinking about a math tutor for your child?
Tutoring in the summer has a lot of benefits: lower pressure because there aren't tests, it's a little more relaxed to help keep engagement fun but still beneficial, eases the transition back into school, a chance to practice tricky units from the previous year, builds and improves their foundations, grows confidence over the summer without the stress of the classroom.
I have a few openings left for summer, and hopefully I can team up with you and your child to help them improve their skills and confidence for the next school year.

When you get to see one of your middle school zoom students in person at their school and they come up to you and go, "You ARE short!" Hahaha
