Tiffany - The Math Tutor

School is going to start next week!!! I am pretty sure lot of kids are excited to go back to see their friends!

Math is always one of the challenging subjects for lots of kids here. If you think your kid was struggling last year and you would like him/her to improve, I am here for you!
If you think your kid is doing well and want him/her to learn ahead? I am here for you!

I have a mechanical engineering background with 10+ years of teaching math since high school (with 8 years of teaching full time after university) Lot of kids are finding my way is easier to understand!

I teach from grades 3-12, and with different grades or types of students, I use different methods to teach! Moreover, since classes are held ONLINE now, feel free to let other family or friends from different provinces to know about this! ☺️☺️☺️

Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

Please message me whether your kids will be doing in school or hub learning this year! Thanks a lot!

Disposable masks vs cloth masks for school

Just my opinion and from my experience

I am pretty sure it is the first time for kids to wear mask to school, even the parents didn't experience that.

Since kids are in school for around 8 hours, they will get to eat their lunches in between. What I will recommend doing is, 1 mask in the morning and 1 in the afternoon! Throw away (disposable)/put away (cloth) the morning one before lunch. It is recommended not to reuse the mask after taking it off, especially kids talk a lot in school.

Kids may not understand the importance of wearing a mask, or may drop to the floor accidentally, it is important to tell them not to wear the mask after dropping. Always put a few more masks in a Ziploc bag so they can change it if anything happens. And prepare an empty one to put the dirty one back (cloth ones).

I know lots of parents would like to save money and environment to use cloth masks. Please make sure buy few more to change. Parents should clean the mask fully with soap and hot water. (This is why I don't use cloth one, cause I can't tell whether it's fully clean 😅😅) OR just put it in the washing machine!!!! Of course some people think it's not necessary to change mask after lunch, feel free to use the one from the morning, but make sure put the mask in the clean Ziploc bag before lunch!

For Ziploc bags, please use a marker to write 'clean' and 'dirty' so they don't mix up!!

For kids using disposable masks, after use, they can throw it away in the garbage bin!

We still have a month before going back to school, it is important for parent to teach the kids how to wear and throw away a mask properly!

PS I do not have a medical background, I just wanna share the experience I had from before. We had to wear mask in Asia during the SARS period and luckily I was a teenager at that day, we knew what to do and what not to do!

Feel free to share it to let more people know if you agree with me!

Parents, what are your thoughts? Are you going to bring the kids back to school?

'Students with symptoms of cold, flu or COVID-19 will be asked to isolate for 10 days.'
Lots of kids get a cold or flu easily in the winter time, so are they going to keep isolating? 🤔🤔🤔
