K-8 Individual Tutoring Services
We offer individual multisensory tutoring sessions designed to engage each child and specifically meet his/her needs.
Our goal is for students to develop a strong foundation in mathematical concepts and improve basic skills. We employ an array of hands-on methods and activities to fit the needs of the learner. We work with all age ranges in math from the youngest learning basic computations to young adolescents struggling with Algebra concepts. For all skill levels we focus on:
- Giving meaning to numbers
- Breaking down the whole process into steps
- Making connections between the concrete and the abstract
- Improving accuracy and speed of mathematical computations
- Developing problem solving skills
- Communicating mathematically through both written and spoken language
The following are examples of some of the math programs we utilize in our teaching:
- Math Their Way
- Semple Math
- Touch Math
