Math tutors are not just for students who are struggling. There are many reasons to take advantage of your own personalized math instructor.
Continuity
More than most subjects, math is a cumulative subject. The lessons you learn in one year are essential to understanding the lessons you learn the next. Consequently, "just-getting-by" in a math concept now can undermine your ability to understand and succeed in the future.
Our math pre-testing can identify and rectify any weak spots in your math foundation, setting you up for an easier future.
Flexibility
While math is a concrete subject, and two plus two always equals four, there are multiple ways to teach these concepts. Having a different instructor, with a different way of approaching a math problem, can make all the difference when tackling an advanced or new area.
Our one-on-one math instructors are able to customize your education to meet your needs. And we always check to be sure you understand the concept before moving on.
Repetition
Schools are more and more understanding how integral repetition and daily practice is to the retention of math concepts and solutions. Summer breaks, winter breaks and even block schedules can pose obstacles to remembering procedures and formulae. Keeping up on math year-round is a student's best tool to exceeding expectations.
Our math tutors can keep your student fresh and up-to-date, ready to hit the ground running when school restarts.
Testing
We all know there is more to getting good scores on standardized tests than simply understanding the material. Testing well on SAT, PSAT, ACT, and FSA tests includes being familiar with the testing formats, knowing when to guess, understanding the scoring system, and simply being comfortable in a test environment.
Our math tutors customize your instruction for your optimal outcome. If testing well is your goal, we make sure you have all the preparation you need to succeed.
