My son was struggling in math at his private school. This was not just an academic struggle but an emotional one too. We all dreaded the nights that there was math homework. As a former math teacher, I knew that didn't necessarily make me the ideal math tutor. I was still his mom and the two don't always mix. I originally hired a private tutor to come into the home but soon realized that she was doing what I always found myself doing; his homework. After researching all the options we chose Mathnasium. We chose them because they went back to the basics so my son could better understand the building blocks necessary to learn how to do his current homework. It has been a long process but there are no more tears and he is getting a B in math.
