[BlindMath] No, not at all....Re: retired TVI here....Re: Alg 1 Tutor

[kelly marts]

 No, not at all...
"This" student didn't last. IMHO her math background was not strong enough. This student was simply the only braille reader I worked with that tried the class and stopped before pre-Calc.Hope this clarifies my point.K

 Forgive me as I don’t go on the defensive easily or often, but I must ask: in the comment "KOnly had one student take trig as a braille reader. She didn't last long.” Are you implying that braille readers can’t take trig using braille methods?

> Good morning everyone! I have an 8th grade student in Alg 1 Honors whose parents are in search of a tutor for him. They are specifically requesting someone that is proficient in all the areas of algebra, Nemeth & using the TI-84 Talking Graphing Calculator.  As his VI teacher I am limited to only 2 categories and his Algebra teacher is limited to only 1 category. Parents are in need of after school, homework assistance and are open to trying virtual tutoring. I am happy to send .brf files so that whomever is available to work with him has the materials as well.
