Are you looking for a math tutor for your child? Perhaps you are good at math and feel confident enough to share your skills and knowledge with your child, but the time may have come to hand the tutoring over to someone else. But how do you find the right math tutor for your child? Someone who will care as much as you do that your child will be getting the best personalised treatment that encompasses their individual learning style and works with their personality to get the very best from their tutoring time.
As a parent you are your childs first and best teacher, as your child grows and the technical demands grow at school and life gets too busy to be able to dedicate the necessary amount of time to help your child, finding a math tutor may be the next step in helping your child progress in their studies.
At Mathnasium of Country Hills in NW Calgary, our tutors are not only highly trained in the area of mathematics but are also very well trained in teaching.
Knowing the curriculum is also highly important in order for your child to succeed. At Mathnasium of Country Hills we encourage open communication between your child’s school and our tutors to make sure that we are on track and that your child’s learning is focussed and structured around their current curricular needs.
Any tutor should have a deep knowledge of math curriculum, because curricula outline the progression of skills that your child has learned, is learning, and will learn.
Math tutors should be able to show a love of teaching, not just be able to showcase degrees or titles that show they understand math. It is the sharing of the knowledge that is important, not just the retention of it.
Using a curriculum has a ton of benefits. Primary among these benefits is that a curriculum provides quality control. It will ensure that tutors can give examples, provide practice and follow-up, and give immediate feedback. It also refers the tutor back to previous skills when learning gaps are discovered. This is really important, as learning gaps can prevent a clear understanding as the subject becomes increasingly challenging and without a clear comprehension of the fundamental knowledge, your child will struggle as the grades progress. Our tutors are trained to spot these learning gaps and can identify exactly which areas to jump back to. They then clarify the techniques and make sure your child understands before continuing with more complex challenges, which your child will now be able to follow confidently.
The right math tutor should be employed in a STEM profession and should also have achieved honors-level grades in advanced math throughout high school, college, and beyond.
Excellent tutors will have math teaching credentials from an organization that recognizes, certifies, and prepares teachers - not just math teachers. Think about how much of an advantage your kid would have if their tutor knows how to access their math textbook online and feels comfortable communicating with their teachers.
Versatility is also key. Being able to explain concepts in several different ways will ensure that your child is taking on the concepts in a way they understand and can retain. Being able to explain the concepts in different ways also can solidify the theories and verify that your child truly comprehends. By just repeating the same statements over will not help your child. Being able to adapt to your child’s learning style and level of understanding will make the subject digestible and easy to put into action.
Knowing how often your child needs to work with a tutor will help with budgeting and planning towards getting the results your child deserves. At Mathnasium of Country Hills in NE Calgary we will work closely with you to determine the best plan for you and your child to be able to help get the results that you are looking for. We will do a thorough assessment and be sure to analyse any of the learning gaps that may be holding your child back. Once we have found the challenges, we can begin to work with your child on filling the learning gaps and bringing clarity to the subject.
When you pay for a tutor both you and your child deserve excellent results. You are requesting a service that should deliver, and at Mathnasium of Country Hills, with our focused and enthusiastic approach we will deliver results in a way that make learning mathematics enjoyable and less overwhelming for your child.
