Does One-to-One offer tutoring in mathematics?
I am certified to tutor children in math at the elementary level (K-8), but I am not a mathematics specialist. Learning basic computational skills such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are fairly easy for most students. Difficulties may arise, however, when they are asked to apply this knowledge to solving word problems or mathematical puzzles. Unfortunately, a few children have not yet developed the abstract reasoning abilities needed to conceptualize some problems or their solution. When they mature, most children outgrow these difficulties. Unfortunately, by the time this occurs, some students have developed such an aversion to word problems that they can no longer approach them with logic or dispassion. Inevitably, a child who “expects” not to understand something, usually doesn’t. These difficulties are compounded when a student is unable to read a problem with fluency and comprehension. The child may struggle so hard to decipher the words he is reading that
