Homeschool Math Meltdown
We appreciate teachers, especially when they are teaching. Unfortunately, with schools closed across the country, parents are put in the position of being unwilling teachers. Parents new to homeschooling can experience challenges they’ve never experienced before.…
Say No to Math Memorization and Flash Cards
Why should I care? When will I use this? I often hear these questions when I talk about the importance of math literacy. I would agree that many or most people will not use algebra in their everyday…
Top Twenty Reasons Students Struggle with Math
Teachers don’t believe or can’t understand that students might not know something. Teachers are good at math and can’t relate to students who aren’t. Teachers pursue careers in elementary education because there is no math certification.…
Success Stories
“I have never been good with numbers and was daunted, to say the least about a college level course. This last semester I had the privilege to be part of John Verschoor’s Quantitative Reasoning class at the University of Cincinnati in Clermont.
I was surprised at how much I was able to learn and apply over the course of the semester. John made sure that anyone that was willing to work was successful. He organized supplemental instruction sessions for those students that wanted it and made sure that everyone had absorbed the content before we moved on to the next part.”
Hey Mr. V…
On a personal note, thanks for all your positive motivation and rewarding feedback…it is instructors like you who will have a lasting impression on my future and my career…so again THANK YOU!!!! I think you are an admirable person and an inspiring individual…I’m sure you have more of an impact on others’ lives than you think you do….don’t stop volunteering to those individuals you work with on your personal time….I’m sure the confidence you help transpire within them from teaching them basic fundamentals of math helps in more ways than you even know, KUDOS!!! Makes me want to look into possible volunteer opportunities in my own personal life. Makes me want to pay it forward so to speak. You’re awesome! I wish you the best
John was nominated by many students of UC Clermont College for consideration to receive multiple awards.
The annual Faculty Recognition Award: Exemplify Teaching Excellence.
“John Verschoor is an amazing teacher. He goes above and beyond to make sure every student is “getting it” in class as well as making himself available in The Learning Center before most classes and will meet up with you at a different time if that doesn’t suffice. He wants each and every student to succeed and does his part to do so. I’ve never had a teacher make mathematics make so much sense, in the foundations of QR class he does his best to show practical real life applications for what we do in class.”
“Goes out of his way to help students”
