More and more parents sending their children to school are experiencing this common scenario: The children are having difficulties in their maths class and falling behind in the lessons. The parents attempt some form of home tutoring to help their children. However, when it comes to tackling trickier formulas and sums, both become stumped. Also, parents may not be equipped to handle their children’s weaknesses and difficulties in the subject. This is the importance of getting a family oriented math tutor who can make a difference in the children’s learning of maths.
To make things tougher for students of all ages, Singapore’s academic environment is not only super-competitive – especially in maths – but it demands that all students should keep pace with the lessons or face failure that includes chances for a good future career. This is none more clearly shown than in learning maths in the classroom. This is why maths has earned a reputation among children as the most unpopular subject (in reality, next to Chinese). Maths is not only difficult to teach, it is also difficult to learn.
The challenge facing students and parents
There is no escaping Singapore maths at any grade level in any school for any student going to school. Students have no choice but to “face the music” and get on good terms with the dreaded subject. It is either pass or suffer the consequences for a lifetime. But the good news is, it doesn’t have to stay that way because you can get a family-oriented math tutor. Students no longer need to develop a phobia for maths that they might carry into their secondary level just because they’re “slow learners.”
The solution: Private Maths Tuition
We can summarise our solution in two simple ways:
Qualified, well-trained, and experienced tutors
Family-oriented private maths tutors know all the challenges children face in math. These challenges are just overwhelming to a child or teenager. Some math tutors have actually experienced all these challenges and difficulties themselves when they were students. This is why math tutors are passionate about tutoring and have developed the skill set needed to deliver the right results that are needed for children to learn maths. Tutors take the burden off students so they can finally learn at their own pace and refocus their energy on truly learning the subject.
Dedicated attention
During all tutoring sessions, math tutors will go at the pace and level of the student. They will never rush through concepts or assume that the student understands everything just because they don’t ask questions. This is why tutors find ways to make it easy for children to ask questions by prompting them with keywords. Tutors will never rush things just because the scheduling is tight and the scheme of the work is tough.
The summaries above can be broken down as follows:
1. Tutors can assess weaknesses and strengths – Schools and classrooms can never address any single student’s specific needs. Everyone learns at their own pace. This is why tutors make assessments to pinpoint students’ weaknesses and strengths. Follow-up assessments are done from time to time to track the student’s progress and to adjust to shifting priorities.
2. Customised learning plan – After the tutor has assessed their ward, they formulate a customised learning plan that focuses on the child’s specific difficulties and what specific maths concepts these are. Specific learning goals are mapped out as well as step-by-step approaches so challenges don’t become overwhelming.
3. Relatable teaching styles – A common complaint from students is that their teachers at school don’t know how to use “relatable language.” Math tutors have developed enough experience to “translate” complex maths problems and concepts into simpler and more relatable information so students can “get” them. This is teaching maths so it makes sense to students.
