Math Doesn’t Have To Be A Struggle!
Does This Sound Familiar?
Both you and your child are struggling with math
Practicing addition facts and times table is driving you to tears
Your child is frustrated with “school math” and a “right way” of doing things
Wish you knew someone who could make it all make sense?
Meet Nicole
After several years volunteering as a tutor I chose to pursue a Masters Degree in Teaching and discovered a passion for elementary mathematics.
I have experience teaching students from kindergarten through sixth grades. I also taught fourth and fifth grades in Granville and Wake Counties.
Unsatisfied with how math has been presented in most schools, I decided to pursue a graduate certificate in elementary mathematics.
As a math intervention teacher and math specialist I’ve worked with students in grades K to 5 to evaluate math skills and use research based strategies to guide them through experiences that allowed them to grow.
Nicole Baucom (They/Them) Elementary Math Specialist
I know that all children (and adults) already have an intuitive sense of math principles gained by interactions with the world.
I strive for a low-demand atmosphere that allows students choice and autonomy. Authentic relationships and trust building are key for learning to happen.
I get to know your kid. I learn how your child sees things and work with them to connect their “kid sense” to formal mathematics.
I create math tasks that allow kids to solve problems and think for themselves. Not only is this more interesting than worksheets, it’s backed by educational research!
I work with individual students and small groups. I also work with parents who need support preparing for IEP and 504 processes.
My rates are $85 per hour for individual students. Rates for small groups vary depending on the number of students and how many sessions are planned. Session times run about 45 to 60 minutes depending on your child’s stamina and the activities of that session.
Non-traditional, neurodivergent, and otherwise spicy learners welcome!
