Welcome to DanaRamsey.com!
 
Are you looking for professional educational testing, teaching and tutoring combined with the warmth and understanding that a seasoned home schooling mom can bring?
 
 
Based in Columbus, Ohio, I offer academic testing using the nationally normed and standardized Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement.  Additionally, private mathematics tutoring and enrichment, as well as small group hands-on math classes, are available in a relaxed, pressure-free environment.
 
 
In addition to being a duly authorized W-J III Achievement Test administrator with hundreds of individual tests given to kids of all ages, I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Applied Mathematics and Teaching of Mathematics grades 6 - 12.  My ongoing professional development--designed to keep my skills cutting edge--includes coursework in teaching the elementary aged child, problem based approaches, using manipulatives for the kinesthetic and concrete learners, and holistic approaches such as teaching math through art.   I have more than a decade of teaching and tutoring experience in individual and institutional, public and private settings with all ages pre-K through grade 12.  Moreover, I've taught my own three kids since their birth.  I can relate to you as a parent and to your child, coming alongside your family to help you achieve the goals you've set forth for your kids.
 
HERE are what some of my satisfied clients have had to say.  I look forward to you becoming one of them! 
 
Warmly,

· Private math tutoring

 

Does your child struggle with math?  Hate it?  Need one-on-one encouragement from a math trained professional?  I offer private math tutoring.  I administer the mathematics portions of the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement during your child’s first tutoring session at no additional charge.  Based on the results, I will develop a personalized plan to help your child fill in gaps in understanding. 
Fee:  $35 per 50 minute session
 

· Private math enrichment sessions

Does your child grasp math concepts easily and grow bored with repetition?  Need a fresh approach that incorporates more than one learning style?  I offer private math enrichment sessions to help you keep that love of math alive.  Your child may create their own tritetra flexagon (and be able to tell you what on earth that is) or make one-sided figures taking the simple Moebius strip concept to more complex levels.  We may explore the Fibonacci Sequence, Pascal’s Triangle, or study topology. Session plans are personalized to your child’s interests and math level.
Fee:  $35 per 50 minute session
 

· Short term hands-on math classes

Does your child like to learn in a small group?  Does a social context encourage them to stretch their own interest level even further?  Do they thrive when they encounter material in a new environment with a different approach?  I also offer small group math classes periodically throughout the fall and winter months.  Your child may learn to create terrific tessellations, make a cool rudimentary calculating tool (hint: it's not an abacus), or learn symmetry concepts through art projects.
