Free Event for Homeschoolers in Sarasota

The HuB in Sarasota is opening its doors on Monday, August 3, 2015 for a fun, informational session about new opportunities to enhance the education and entrepreneurship of K-12 kids in Southwest Florida.
This free event is hosted by Dennis DiNoia of Mr. D Math and Jenni Stahlmann and Jody Hagaman, parenting columnists and co-hosts of the POP Parenting radio show.
These national speakers and educational specialists will offer information about programs that promote success in K-12 math, study and note taking skills for academic excellence, increased standardized test scores, and entrepreneurial business development for kids of all ages.

This event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Please RSVP on Facebook or by email to info@mrdmath.com.

While working with Mr. D, I learned how easy intricate problems and concepts can be,” said Nate Reynolds, SAT Prep class student. “I can honestly say that no other math curriculum has made it this clear for me and given me this much confidence in myself. He showed me many techniques that allow me to work a problem in half the time.”
