If math struggles are a new problem, it could be a sign that the student has not adapted to the increase in difficulty or the pace of work. Students who have experienced success in math with minimal effort, may not have developed the habits and skills to manage the increased demands of the curriculum. Inconsistent homework completion and passive study habits are often at the root of this problem, and this is especially true for students transitioning into high school.
For these students, math tutoring – though likely helpful in the short term – will not address the underlying causes of their challenges. It may even undermine students’ confidence as thoughts of “I used to be good at math, but now I need a tutor” begin to take hold.
Our coaches will encourage students to apply more effective strategies to improve math results. Improved time management skills, doing “homework with integrity”, and active test preparation can all have an immediately positive impact while maintaining students’ confidence in their own ability to be successful.
Coaches and students work together to solve problems and further comprehension. Students will learn how to ‘battle harder’ when something does not come easy, and how to be resourceful in their efforts to understand complex concepts. Students will also learn to recognize when they really do need to ask for outside help and see the teacher for additional support.

Thank you very much for providing such a very helpful facility for my daughter. She has benefited so much from the program, not only for her present situation but I think for life.
