About Bob
• I’ve taught every level of math from counting to Precalculus, while specializing in getting students excited about math - with several decades of experience in teaching math from early elementary arithmetic to high school Algebra-1, Algebra-2, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Precalculus.
• Since 1995, some 4,000 students in grades 2-7 have attended SAI: the Summer Algebra Institute for Kids - my math enrichment program in which we teach substantive algebra to regular students in elementary grades.
• I’ve earned aMaster’s degree in Elementary Math Education from the University of Minnesota, with over 20 years of tutoring individual students, with more frequency of tutoring in the past 4-5 years.
• I have worked with students from all types of schooling backgrounds - public schools, private schools, charter schools, and home schools.

• One central approach of my teaching and tutoring is an emphasis upon a foundational understanding of a topic. For example:
—Without using the words “add” or “addition”, what does "addition" mean?
— Without using the words "equals" or "equality", tell me what the symbol "=" means.
— What are “like terms” in Algebra?
• Ideas are the building blocks of learning, allowing the learner to have that "Aha!" experience of the light going on in “getting it”!
• Another vital dynamic I use is memorization. Memorization doesn’t make math mastery harder! Memorization makes math mastery POSSIBLE!. I teach kids HOW to memorize.
• Perhaps the most important aspect of how I tutor is my specialty of teaching the broad ideas - the principles - which reveal the unity and connectedness of math across grades and across topics.
• Specifically, one powerful Principle I teach is “FNLN” - the First Name Last Name Principle. EVERY teacher and parent to whom I’ve shown the FNLN Principle has said something to the effect, “I wish I’d known that when I was in K-6 grades - it would have made Algebra so muc easier.”
• Other principles I teach are the Operations Principle, the Skip Counting Principle, and the “Say-What-You-See” Principle they simplify and connect the teaching and learning of math by providing both the details and the big picture of math.
• Finally, I love kids, I love math, and I love learning. I love getting kids excited about math!
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Bob.
Perfect! Bob is a delight to listen to as he is working with the kids. He engages in their level without making it seem like he is lowering his standards. My daughter finished her fist session and told me Math was fun! Never did I think I’d hear that. Thank you so much for finding the spark my daughter needed!
Perfect! Bob is very knowledgeable on the subject of Math, he has a fresh approach to teaching which is appreciated!
Perfect! He took the time to explain the concept behind the problem rather than just that specific problem. That made my son's understanding of the material increase exponentially and he 4was able to do more work on his own because he understood the concepts.

Bob has a true teacher's heart. He makes math enjoyable for kids who otherwise would rather do anything else by incorporating games and other manipulative sets into their learning. Plus, he enjoys educating parents as well about ways to help their children develop a number sense and get math facts "by heart." We highly recommend working with Bob if you're looking to help your child or children gain familiarity and comfortability with numbers and mathematical functions.
We were so fortunate to have found Algebra for Kids!! My 3 kids were engaged, relaxed and stimulated by the Algebra for Kids approach. They were introduced to concepts they wouldn’t have encountered for years with curiosity and confidence. Bobs love for numbers and life engages a wide age range and makes math fun! I have highly recommended Bob and will continue to do so. An experienced teacher who is passionate about his subject as well as the students ability to understand and enjoy the learning process. Win, win!!!!!
After the first session, my daughter said something I thought I'd never hear - "Math is fun." She really likes working with Bob and the things he shows her beyond just answering her questions.
Bob draws upon these principles, as he calls them, to show how math is so connected. It helped a lot with fractions and with algebra too. He's also great at teaching me the important things to memorize and even how to memorize .
