In and Out in One Hour November 13 Training.

Hello Tutors

Nearly every month this year we have one of our Tutor Skill Building Sessions Planned. So far we have had:

-Using Graphic Novels

-Setting Goals and Using Benchmarks

This month, November we offer:

YOU CAN TEACH MATH

When: Wednesday, November 13 noon to 1 pm.

Where: At the Learning Centre above the Bank of Montreal

What:

An opportunity to look at some of the math resources we have,learn a few techniques for teaching math and

get together with some of your fellow tutors.

If you are not sure that math is your thing, come see what level of math we are talking about. If you can add, subtract, multiply, divide and do fractions you are half way there. If you would learn or brush up a few math skills you would be all the way there I bet.

Please do join us for cookies and tea and a few new skills

Please let me know if you can make it.

Thanks
