Introduction
I help students develop their numeracy skills. Current research suggests that students who lack number sense will struggle with higher level math like algebra and beyond. Building number sense along with students mental math skills takes math beyond memorization of math facts to make connections and "see" the intuitive connections that exist within math. When I was a kid I struggled with math, so I know first hand exactly what that feels like. In my day, math was about memorization of math facts along with a bunch of disconnected processes and rules. Yet in spite of my difficulties, I learned to persist and persevere. Today, I LOVE math and I love helping kids discover their potential for success! I encourage students to make mistakes, not on purpose, but to learn. Mistakes are our friends because that is how you grow your brain and learn. Each time you make a mistake a synapse fires in your brain to grow new connections as you see what doesn't work. If I could learn math, then I can help you learn math too!

It was the best decision to hire Mr Baskin! He is professional and very punctual. He makes sure you understand a problem and can explain it in multiple ways so that you can comprehend before moving on. I think he will be my long term tutor for college algebra. 5 stars!

Details: High school • Pre-algebra • Arithmetic / general • Algebra • 18 - 25 years old • Once a week • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting) • I travel to the math tutor

I had the pleasure of working with Mike for a Math skills Assessment exam. He is everything you'd want in a tutor- patient, responsive, dedicated, and a great instructor. I'd highly recommend him to anybody looking for a tutor!
