Elementary StudentsMath Help
As a parent, please don't fall for the ever-popular "Well, girls just are not very good at math" excuse. While, as many parents know, U.S. students have not fared well in comparison to much of the international world, there is some hope. Recent studies indicate U.S. fourth graders are just above average, eighth graders are just below average, and twelfth graders are well below average. Our tutors know precisely what corrective actions need be taken toward this declining aptitude American students exhibit as they approach high school. If your child does well in her other subjects, it is likely she could also excel in mathematics. The caveat: many have either not been taught or fail to comprehend basic fundamentals of each unique math discipline. Like a new language, math has a fundamental language all its own. Master the basics of the underlying language, and subsequent practice makes the problem solving skills easy. We use concrete examples, and never move forward until we know your child grasps all of the fundamentals of each concept. One step at a time. This often makes all the difference. Parent Teacher Conferences"
You did such an excellent job last school term with our parent education program on test taking strategies for parents to help their child, I was wondering if you would be interested in coming back again this year to share with us?
