Tutoring Math in the Age of Homework

Today we live in the now generation and we expect to accomplish things to match this fast paced lifestyle. Often students apply this same principle to their school work and expect to master topics right away. We try to get by with minimal effort and complete the assignment as soon as possible. This strategy rarely works and can push student further and further behind in their academics. The subject of mathematics often suffers most from Math is not as difficult as it appears if you have a solid foundation for it.

I often ask students conceptual questions to help them grasp the idea they are studying and find that they know a lot more than they think they do. I am a nerd and I love math; but it was not always an interesting subject to me. Math is a cumulative subject that requires a strong foundation and in order to move forward. Similarly to a puzzle, in math we cannot see the big picture when some of the key pieces are lacking a good fundamental understanding. Here at the South Redondo Beach Study Hut, I tutor a range of subjects but math is by far my favorite to teach. Many of my students are bright individuals from Palos Verdes, Redondo, Manhattan and Torrance High Schools studying a wide variety of topics of mathematics. I work one-on-one with these students to improve their grades in their current math class and help them re-learn some of the fundamental principals that they were lacking. In addition to working with each students individual needs, I teach strategies that will enable them to excel in any future math class that they may encounter. We often need to learn how to take advantage of our educational opportunities to grow as a student.

We can often get frustrated or overwhelmed with tough subjects such as mathematics because it is so easy to get behind without even noticing it. I work on strengthening each individuals weakness within the subject and help them gain confidence in their work. Once your student has mastered these strategies, they begin to appreciate the art of enjoying the learning process.
