Anyone can succeed in the math. However, today’s typical math classroom is set up to promote neither success nor fun. I work with students who are dedicated to learning math and willing learners. Even with these requisites, students still can struggle with math. I’ve seen it. Math is a different animal: "I just don’t get math," "I can follow along with the teacher, but when it gets to me I just can’t figure it out." Common. And correctable. In a traditional classroom you have 30 students in a class. The teacher explains a few definitions, works through a few problems, then you’re on your own. Good luck. Homework due tomorrow. Read the next chapter. Oh yeah, and a quiz on Friday. Here’s the problem. Those 30 students have 30 different math backgrounds. Some “get” everything, some “get” nothing. Some are “math” people, some can’t add or subtract. Some need a challenge, some need remediation. Second, those 30 students have 30 different learning styles. Some students are visual learners, some like explicit "steps", and some just need to spend time with the concept. I’ve been there. I’ve seen it. And it’s not a pretty situation. Neither the student nor the teacher are in a position to win. So what happens. Students who “get” math get the As. Students who don’t “get” math get lower grades and the cycle continues on tomorrow, next unit, next year and the next year. All that’s left is low confidence, anxious, disinterested students. As an educator, I want to be a part of the solution rather than the problem. PashTutoring provides individualized, focused math instruction for high school students struggling in math. I focus my instruction on three core competencies needed to succeed in math: - Mathematical fluency. - Conceptual learning. - Practice, Practice, Practice.
