How do I know if my child needs math tutoring?

tears over your child's math homework? Are you just as confused as your child
when you try to help them? If so then a math tutor is a great solution. Here
are the top five signs to help you know if your child could greatly benefit
from a math tutor.
Falling behind
As with most subjects in school math is taught by following
a curriculum. The instructor must follow the daily or weekly lesson plans in
order to cover the required math topics throughout the year. If you your child
has fallen behind in comprehension of these topics it is likely that the
teacher will not be able to stop moving on. This could create a situation where
your child falls behind on skills. Math is also the type of subject where
skills build upon each other. Your child will be behind very quickly. Out of
school tutoring can help your child stay on track with their class in school.
Self confidence
Students who struggle in school subjects often have a lack
of self-confidence. Another way sign that your child could use math tutoring is
that they have low self-confidence and anxiety about math. Giving your kid the
extra help that they need will not only help them improve their grades but it
will improve their confidence levels as well.
Number facts recall
Does your child struggle to recall basic number facts in
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division? All facets of math involved

facts that they are going to struggle moving forward. Tutoring can help your child
learn the basic number facts which will help them moving forward.

is homework struggles. If your child is spending more than the recommended time
on homework each night and you are finding it difficult to help then it's this
is a sign that it's time for tonight. Students learn that much differently than
their parents did. Tutor will be able to help your child efficiently and

and topics that they have learned previously then a tutor could be useful. This

comprehension of the prior topic or too much time between topics your child
could be struggling. A tutor can help them stay on track.
