Joe Hoya currently attends Georgetown Prep and is enrolled in Algebra I, Prep’s on-level freshman math class. Joe was successful in middle school and earned mostly As in his math classes. On the SSAT, Joe scored in the 20th percentile of all test takers on the Quantitative Section. 

At Prep, Joe struggled in Algebra I from the start. He completed all of his homework, though his parents reported that he often took over an hour to complete what his teacher estimated should take no more than 30 minutes. On tests and quizzes, he scored in the 70s and he earned a high C for the first quarter. He occasionally visited the math office for extra help, but having never been one to struggle in math, he felt somewhat shy about asking for help. In addition, he made the varsity soccer team, which he felt impacted his availability to see his math teacher as he struggled to find the balance between sports and academics.

Now, in the second quarter, Joe Hoya’s performance has declined significantly. He has stopped completing his homework. His quiz and test scores have dropped into the 40s and 50s, and he is increasingly showing gaps in content knowledge and problem solving skills. His teacher reports that he is withdrawn during class and that he does not come to office hours despite repeated invitations to do so. 

Joe Hoya has been referred to you in your role as the Math Specialist. Describe your course of action for working with this student. (Maximum response: 1000 words) 

Compensation is commensurate with experience. Georgetown Prep offers a comprehensive and competitive benefit package (including health, disability, sick and vacation leave, 403B retirement plan with match, and a variety of other employee-valued benefits).
