Basic Math


	Basic Math

A Plus Tutorial defines "Basic Math" as any math class prior to pre-algebra. Most basic math students are in elementary or middle school. If this is the level of math your student is in and you decide to have our tutors help your student, here is what you can expect:

	Our tutors help students complete homework assignments. Most teachers count individual homework grades toward a student's final grade. If we can ensure homework is complete and correct, we can immediately begin to impact your student's grade in class. As we help students with homework, we create a list of previously learned topics that were not actually retained. We do this in lieu of giving students a diagnostic test.
	Once we have a list of areas your student needs extra help with, we spend 10 - 30 minutes re-teaching those deficient skills. This old material is what is holding your student back. So the re-teaching of this material receives a very high priority. Our tutors work with your student several times on the same deficient skill to be sure it has been learned adequately.
	A Plus Tutorial believes repetition is the key to success. Your student needs to continually practice the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts as well as the new and more rigorous topics taught in these early math years. Mom and Dad, make sure they practice often.
	Once your student gets back on track, our tutors will show them study skills they can benefit from and succeed with. From how to study for a test to how to study for tomorrow's lesson in class. There are many study skills that work for math. All your student needs is someone to show them what they are.

A Plus Tutorial helps your student build a strong foundation of basic math facts. Almost all of what your student sees in basic math is used again in pre-algebra and beyond. Some things, like multiplication facts, are used more than others and therefore deserve a higher priority. But in general, your student must leave basic math with a strong foundation. If they don't, they will most likely struggle in future classes. A Plus Tutorial can give your student the tools to succeed.

A Plus Tutorial believes success is within every student. Your student doesn't have to hate math. Your student doesn't have to think they aren't good at math. In fact, A Plus Tutorial believes that a positive math experience can change all that. It is always our goal to make your child smile. If that sounds strange, ask yourself this question. Are you more likely to learn something when you are feeling positive or negative? We give your student a reason to smile at A Plus Tutorial because we know that's when they learn best.

If your child is struggling to learn the basics, please get them help now. Your decision to get help, now versus later, could mean the difference between success and that dreaded expression "I hate math." Your student doesn't have to get help from A Plus Tutorial but they have to get help. This is one decision you don't want to put off.

Pricing

Each of the "Basic Math" lessons at A Plus Tutorial lasts 60 minutes and costs $35.00.

We can see your student in our office once a week, twice a week, or three times a week. It all depends on the needs of your child. There are no long term contracts to sign and your obligation to A Plus Tutorial is based on a week to week commitment.

We want what is best for your child. And sometimes that means another tutor or no tutor at all. When students come back week after week it is because they (and you the parents) are benefiting from the time spent at A Plus Tutorial. Not because there is some long term contractual agreement.

Call A Plus Tutorial today to set up weekly appointments for your child.
