Change the grade - Get help with math homework

Do you find homework time to be a challenge? Is your child resisting doing their math homework or struggling to keep up with their grades? At Mathnasium we can help you change the grade and get help with math homework.
If you are looking for a math tutor for your child, it is important that you find the right match. At Mathnasium we take the time to thoroughly assess your child and find the right tutor who understands how your child learns, has a thorough grasp of the curriculum and what they are required to learn and understand, and to be able to help them retain the information in an enjoyable and informative way. If you are investing money in your child’s education and private tutoring, you deserve excellent results. It is important to consider several points when looking for the right math tutor to help your child with their math homework and development of their understanding of mathematics independently.
 When you are looking for a math tutor it’s important to find out how well not only do they know math, but also schoolmath?
Don’t let pride get in the way when helping your child with their homework! Mathematics teaching methods are frequently changing and our tutors at Mathnasium are on top of the latest and best tutoring methods to ensure that your child gets the best understanding of the topic and can work on homework independently with out frustration or drama!
Excellent tutors not only have math teaching credentials from an organization that recognizes, certifies, and prepares teachers - not just math teachers. Being able to cross the borders of their private tutoring sessions and over to link with what they are learning at school can put your child at a serious advantage. 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.
Great tutors understand the subject well enough to be able to apply versatility to their teaching style and match that with your child’s learning style.  If for example your child doesn’t understand the first time the concept is explained, their tutor should be able to offer various ways of explaining the same concept in a way that your child can relate and comprehend. A through knowledge of the subject will allow them to do this easily and align their teaching style with your child’s learning style.
Great tutors will also encourage the thinking process required to reach correct answers. They are patient and allow your child to explore their options and answers. Kids often want to produce the correct results and get the rewards and move on. Systematic repetition doesn’t help with math, your child has to thoroughly learn and understand the concepts to be able to apply them to various questions. Allow time for your child to process and think through the problems and work the exercises in order to learn mathematics properly and then answer. Getting to the answer is a large process in learning mathematic theories and understanding the processes.
Understanding a subject and teaching it are two very different things.
A big mistake parents can make is knowing they are good at math but thinking they can also teach it to their child.  Working with a frustrated child trying to teach something when you aren’t a teacher can lead to more frustration all around! Hiring an impartial yet encouraging math tutor can change the entire dynamic and help your child learn effectively and start to tackle their homework assignments confidently.
At Mathnasium our tutors are not only highly skilled in mathematics but are also great teachers. They understand the different approaches required to help your child learn and retain the information.

Also having someone outside of the family explain and grade their work helps to remove any personal challenges and fears of disappointing family. Having a supporting tutor on their side will compliment the help they are also receiving at home and allow them to remove any fears of failure and continue learning in a supported environment.

Being able to pinpoint any cracks in foundational knowledge will help your child to further in the subject and also be able to understand the challenges set out to them with their homework.
It is important for your tutor to be able to pinpoint any cracks in previous learning that may be stopping your child from progressing in the subject. If your child did not thoroughly understand a concept at the beginning of learning algebra for example, it will become increasingly challenging for them to progress in that area. Our tutors are skilled at pinpointing exactly where things have gone off track and can quickly and effectively go back to that area and help your child understand that area and begin to progress again. Without a solid foundation, the ability to progress is incredibly tough.
