joe continues to volunteer and teach high school mathematics.
Joe has volunteered as a high school mathematics tutor for many years. Working with young students made him realize that there were very few books that actually led the math tutor to understand the stumbling blocks of mathematics that can keep students struggling. Then, came his writing of this series, the Math Tutors Friend. The books are available in paperback on Amazon.com. We're including some links to the books for those who would like to help their youngsters, and their home schooled students as well.
A note from Joe: "THIS SERIES...is intended to truly be 'The Math Tutor’s Friend.' My objective is to provide to the math tutor preparing to coach or instruct high-school level math with a brief review of the various math topics of interest. In some cases you will find additional material that can provide insight related to the subject matter. Each of the first eight books in the series contains a dozen or more related test questions with answers explained; these to be used as you deem fit. ... iThe guide shows the table of contents of Books 1 through 8, and includes a number of one-page summaries of selected topics such as the multiplication table, divisibility rules, linear-equation forms, the Unit Circle, Laplace transform pairs, etc., that you can use either as handouts or quick reference notes. ... is a consolidation of some three dozen monographs that I have written over the span of more than ten years on the various topics and so will not be organized as nicely as, say, a 20-author formal math textbook. After all you already know the material; the books in this series merely provide review. Happy Tutoring! " ~ Joe Cyr
