Hear what Natalie from Sarasota, FL and her mom have to say about being in the Mr. D Math Algebra I co-op



Math was never my strong subject. It confused me beyond belief and I just couldn’t figure out how I was ever going to use algebra in real life! Then there was Mr. D. I went from wanting to sling my math books into a bonfire while prancing around it in happiness to actually looking forward to the homework and accomplishing something I didn’t know before. He made me want to learn math that stretched my mind and made me really think. Who would have thought! He also showed me simple ways to work complicated problems. Everything was just clear and made complete sense for the first time since letters were added into what was suppose to be a number thing. And as it turns out, I actually do use this stuff! True story.

Math has always been a struggle for me and I really didn’t think I’d ever get any better at it. I gave up on learning what seemed to be pointless problems with the thought that I’d never use it in “real life” anyway. After I started working with Mr. D, my math skills have greatly improved as well as my confidence to take on any math problem thrown my way. I no longer feel confused by Algebra and I can learn the lessons in my Homeschool program more quickly and easily. I feel happier with myself and my abilities. I’m a Big Sister mentor and now I actually help my little sis with her sixth grade math homework which is something I can feel good about. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I could help anyone with math!  Mr. D also worked with me on my SAT to raise my score.  I am happy to announce that I was accepted and have been attending the University of Central Florida since 2009. What a miracle worker!

Before I met Mr. D, I would become so frustrated with tough equations on tests and complicated formulas I had to remember. It was so bad that even when I saw a simple algebra problem, it frightened me. I was at my wit’s end when I discovered Mr. D. While working with him, I learned how easy intricate/long problems and concepts can be. I can honestly say that no other math curriculum has made it this clear for me and given me this much confidence in myself. He showed me many techniques that allow me to work a problem in half the time. His SAT class helped me to get high enough scores that I was able to pick the college of my choice. And on the first try too! He has given me a solid foundation of knowledge and methods that I can carry with me throughout my entire life. He has made a drastic difference in my life and I thank God that I was so blessed to have him as my math teacher. I have never been this confident!

He really helped me with math and my ability to understand it. The course work is consistent with what Mr. D goes over in class and in the DVDs which definitely makes it less confusing. He helped me raise my grade from D’s to A’s and B’s. The SAT workshop was a bit long and grueling but all around it helped me with the Act and Sat. I felt way more prepared!  Natasha G -Sarasota, FL

After working with Mr. D this summer, geometry has been so much easier for me.  This is my best year in math, ever! Before, I use to cower behind my books dreading that the teacher would call on me.  Now, I even raise my hand to answer a question!

From Parents

Hear what moms are saying about the Mr. D and the Mr. D Math Curriculum.

Your program is fantastic. My kids have made remarkable strides in math in just a few months with you as their guide.  As a mother of 4, a Board Member and President of the Neuro Challenge Foundation, I have found relief with the Mr D Math program knowing how limited my time can be in any given day.

Math has always been a struggle for our son Matthew, so when I found out about Mr. D, I thought I would give it a try.  In just a few months time he went from struggling adding one digit numbers to multiplying two digit numbers and even doing some word problems. Mr. D Math has really pulled the strengths out in Matthew which has helped him to jump 1 full grade level when he was tested. This has helped to boost his self-esteem so as a parent I can praise him for what he is learning instead of getting frustrated with what I don't think he is getting. Mr. D covers it all. Mr D Math has also helped my daughter in high school to understand her Algebra better. The Mr D Math program definitely delivers from elementary through high school and does it well.

My boys were tutored by Mr. D over the summer.  I sat in on each of the sessions and was AMAZED at the way he made Math so much easier to understand, even for me!  My boys are in 2nd grade this year and are doing very well in Math.  We still apply the rules and techniques that they learned over the summer.  Their speed has improved greatly with their addition and subtraction.  I look forward to working with Mr. D and Mr D Math products again in the future as my boys get into more complicated math lessons (multiplication, division, algebra), because Mr. D has a wonderful way of explaining in better detail the process, verses the traditional way most teachers teach math.  His teaching method makes math less complicated and more fun!  Erika Augsburger - Sarasota, FL Mom of twins Doc and Max

 

My daughter was a junior in high school when we contacted Mr. D for help with Geometry.  Not only did his program help her grasp all the Geometry concepts in her Homeschool math curriculum where she was struggling, but I can see that many of the gaps have gotten filled in her math education.  As a results, Mr D Math has made my daughter feel more capable and confident with math.  She is doing Algebra II and tackling material that once would have been difficult and frustrating.  With Mr D Math, she learns the material quickly and moves through her Homeschool lessons with a positive attitude. No more math Phobia!                    MariBeth M - Sarasota, FL

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! My daughter Caitlyn took the math section FCPT college placement test shortly after taking your intensive SAT boot camp, and she received a score of 97, which put her directly into College Algebra! This would not have been possible without your help. Thanks again and God bless.  Mary Bullington - Tampa, FL

Mr. D spoke recently at our monthly homeschool support meeting for Learning and Families Homeschool Support Group.  He was a hit!  Everyone, from the youngest student present to the parents, listened intently while Mr. D made math understandable and simple.  He makes math make sense.  His approach is light hearted and fun so the students were drawn in immediately.  He smiles continuously and moves with ease from one aspect of math to the next as he uses his original approach to pull it all together.  Many of the ideas he taught were able to be put to use at home right away because they were simple and made so much sense!  Most parents share the same opinion that if math were taught the way Mr. D teaches it when we were in school, we would have been A students and loved math!  Andrea Ewing - Homeschool parent and member of Learning and Families Homeschool organization:

Mr. D was my favorite teacher because he showed me that learning could be fun and he helped me to enjoy it as well. He had a different way of teaching that not only helped me with math but all of my classes. He just made everything so clear and I understood it. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He’s so great and everyone should at least take one class from him!

Mr. D worked for me as a middle school math teacher.  He worked with gifted students as well as an at risk group of students.  His job with the at risk group of students was to prepare for the Florida FCAT test.  Mr. D used his unique test taking skills practice and development and the results were amazing.  82% of the students in his class raised their FCAT one full point or higher.  I have not seen any teacher be able to do that in my 20 year career.  Parents, I highly recommend the Mr D Math Seminar and Tutoring program as I am confident it will make a difference for your child.   John Weida -  Principal - Sarasota County Schools, Florida

As the Principal in the high school where Mr. D taught Math I had opportunity to observe him on numerous occasions. The majority of his students were below grade level and were struggling in Math. Through his innovative and motivational approach, his students demonstrated learning gains that I did not think were possible. He is to be commended for his successes with the low achieving students.
