Montessori Math Tutoring:

Confidence & Clarity (Ages 5-12)

Welcome, amazing learners! I'm Lau, and let's transform “I can’t” into “I can” as we explore the joy of learning math together!

Is math struggle why your child doesn't love learning? Whether it’s fractions, equations, or other concepts, I help kids master tricky topics through stories, hands-on materials, and personalized support that builds confidence and executive function.

As a Montessori teacher, I follow the child’s lead. My 1:1 tutoring sessions are completely personalized based on each child’s needs, so topics may vary greatly from one session to another.

Like a dentist finding hidden cavities, I specialize in identifying knowledge gaps that cause confusion and hinder a brilliant, hard-working child from solidifying a tricky concept. When a child understands the big picture, all the pieces start falling into place. This is how I turn “😩 I suck at math” into “😏 I GOT this!”

My tutoring sessions incorporate hands-on materials and engaging stories to help students manipulate concrete ideas before tackling abstract concepts. This interactive style is particularly beneficial for children requiring a different approach to math, including those with ADHD or executive function challenges.

Children having two weekly sessions can expect around 1-2 hours of extra practice assignments.

Math anxiety got you down? I turn “😩 I suck at math” into “😏 I GOT this!” My Montessori-inspired tutoring lets kids explore concepts, understand deeply, and rebuild their self-belief—great for neurodivergent learners who thrive with a hands-on approach!

"Lau has been an exceptional tutor for both of my daughters. I am continually impressed by her dedication, thorough preparation, and the extensive knowledge she brings to each session. Her patience and resourcefulness truly set her apart!

What I appreciate most is the flexibility she offers. I can be fully engaged during her online lessons to understand my kids' learning progress, or on busy days, I can simply print her ready-to-use resources and have everything prepared before the lesson in no time.

Lau's teaching style is remarkable. She speaks to the children with authority while always maintaining kindness, patience, empathy, and respect. Both my daughters have expressed how much they love learning with her because she creates a safe and supportive environment.

I had kept their tutoring private, but my youngest's teacher was so impressed by her sudden improvement in math skills that she reached out to ask what we were doing! I can't recommend Lau highly enough. Her impact on my daughters’ education has been truly transformative!"

"I cannot recommend Lau's Montessori online tutoring highly enough! As a homeschooling parent, I was searching for a program that would ignite a love for learning in my son and provide him with essential numeracy skills. After trying several cheaper online schooling options, I quickly realized they mainly focused on practical life skills using household items, which just didn't bring the Montessori magic I was looking for.

Lau's program was a game-changer! From the very first lesson, it was clear how much thought and care went into each session. She not only guided us on the numeracy skills my son needed but also provided invaluable resources to gather or make the materials we needed for engaging lessons throughout the week. Her hands-on approach kept my son excited and motivated to learn.

As my son didn't speak English, Lau was incredibly accommodating, delivering all lessons fully in Spanish. This made such a difference in his comfort level and understanding. Every week, I could see the connections he was making, and his confidence blossomed as he worked through the lessons. The investment was totally worth it!

Lau's ability to blend fun with learning truly made a difference. If you want your child to experience the genuine spirit of Montessori education, look no further. Thank you, Lau, for bringing the magic back into our homeschooling journey!"

In-Depth Math Assessment

When I start working with a new student, I want to give them the best support possible. For this, I need to see where they are in their learning journey. This is why, in our first sessions together, I assess all my new tutoring students. The assessment shows me:

📈 Child’s proficiency level

💪 Strengths and areas for improvement

🔍 Knowledge gaps that may be hindering progress

🤔 How your child approaches math

💙 Ideas to help your child love math

This thorough evaluation provides essential insights into your child’s understanding of math. For instance, a student struggling with long division might be dealing with gaps in subtraction, place value, or even organization that are hindering their ability to progress. Knowing where your child is allows me to plan the best route to take them where they want to be. 

I design assessments to be a non-judgmental experience. I make it clear to your child that it is about understanding where they are and NEVER about criticism. 

Let’s start building your child’s Math confidence!

Neurodivergence Specialization and Accommodations:

Tutoring sessions can be geared toward any learner type—from those who need remediation and extra help to those who simply want to extend their learning. The Montessori methodology is multisensory in nature, and with several years of teaching experience, I am well-versed in creating adaptations on the spot to improve the child’s learning experience. Some of the accommodations I can provide include:

  • ADHD: Hands-on activities, sensory-friendly materials, flexible schedules, chunked content, step-by-step instructions (verbal and visual), interactive activities, frequent breaks, visual schedules, and organizational support.

  • Gifted: Advanced curriculum, differentiated instruction, and opportunities to extend learning outside tutoring sessions.

  • Math Anxiety: Supportive communication, brain warm-up games, step-by-step instructions (verbal and visual), flexible deadlines, a calm learning environment, and personalized feedback.

  • Dyslexia: Organizational instruction, dyslexia-friendly fonts, recording booklets, and flexible timing.

I firmly believe that kids need to feel good to do good. If a child is dysregulated, the priority becomes helping them find regulation before any learning can happen. Sometimes, this is the most significant learning a neurodiverse child can experience!
