A Math Tutor for the Summer Holidays?
Wednesday June 17, 2009
One of the questions I often get at this time of year is whether or not a student should secure a math tutor over the summer. Good question! Most importantly, what type of tutor? A one to one? An email tutor? A Phone tutor? These questions all need an answer. For the most part, a tutor and tutee need to have a good relationship, afterall, the entire purpose of a tutor is to help the student to achieve better math scores which really means to develop a better math understanding. And.....most importantly of all, is what kind of learner is the student? Does the student need direct intervention? Does the student just needs some clarification and practice? Does the student need to go right back to the basics? So, my advice to all those looking to secure a tutor in math is "Do your homework first, know exactly what you need".

My kids are not old enough for school yet, but I am trying to get some ideas on how to get them interested in mat and science.
As far as summers are concerned, are there any “math summer camps” out there? Maybe something fun with a math component – eg., model rocketry.
Thanks!
The truth of fact is summer is not time for learning and this is the messages some school teachers send to children and we all need some break time, so thisis not a wrong thinking. With that said the fact is summer is the best time for some advanced learning and also time to catch up.
The trouble is most learning centers do not have intrested summer math programs set up for children, the same boring stuff they used to see at schools, no challenges, no innovative ideas.
How about combining chess, puzzles and math altogether and let kids have some fun while learnig math?
Look at the keyword math and chess and you will find lots of info on math and chess combined math learning.
