I will go the extra mile to make sure the children understand what is expected of them. I have worked with Club Z In-Home tutoring service hired by Lincoln Public Schools.

I have also done time tables from 1-10 and just asked randomly, how much is 6x8 and then change to 8x6 to see if they really understand. I do basic addition and subtraction.
