The Program
We will cover basic math curriculum, so, of course the classroom lesson. Using the Bellak Approach, however, will enhance what is offered in the classroom.
Will This Program Meet My Child's Needs?
Yes, We have designed this program for a wide variety of student needs so that each student will get the most out of each lesson. These classes are bets for students that:
- Need to have material explained in more detail than time allows for in the regular school classroom setting.
- Have a general understanding of math, but need specific reinforcement to gain confidence.
- Need or want shortcuts and alternative methods in order to advance in their mathematical skill level.
Why Mrs. Bellak’s approach?
Mrs. Bellak has the best success rate for teaching Algebra in the county. She coached the Algebra team for 25 years, and the team took 1st place in the county 17 of those 25 years. Her Algebra team placed in the top 3 positions 23 of those 25 years. No other coach has that record. High school teachers have frequently said they could pick out Mrs. Bellak’s students from the others, and one administrator nicknamed her the “Algebra Queen.”
Mrs. Bellak is currently teaching Elementary Algebra at Pasco-Hernando Community College.
Mrs. Bellak uses many unique and original explanations of the subject matter, in order to enable students to understand better. In fact, previous students have asked her to write a handbook, and they titled it "Bellak’s Math Tips and Tricks".
Please see the brochure for information concerning Mrs. Bellak’s awards, mission, goals, and philosophy.
