5 Benefits of Hiring Private Math Tutor for Your Child

If you are considering private math tutoring in Saskatoon, there are a few things that may help you to decide whether it is right for you.  Whether your child is struggling to keep up in school or is excelling in the subject of mathematics, there are many benefits to hiring a private math tutor for your child. In this article we are going to look at the 5 benefits of hiring a private math tutor for your child.

1. A private math tutor can help support your child’s learning and keep them on track with their grade level or even begin to excel in the subject. Learning with a tutor can take pressure off of you as a parent and make the learning process a lot easier by having an outside teacher instead of a parent who may or may not be entirely up to date with the latest teaching methods or curriculum being taught. It also avoids tantrums and any struggles personally between either of you. Although parent’s intentions are good and we would love to be able to help our children learn and spend time encouraging them with their homework, life is busy and hectic. Especially if you have more than one child, meaning even more homework help! Even with the best intentions not everyone has time to work with their child every day after school. Add to that other extra curricular activities and getting everyone to and from classes and events, it can be really hard for parents to have enough time to tutor their children. At Mathnasium of Saskatoon, we are here and ready to take on that task. 
   
   
2. At Mathnasium of Saskatoon, our tutors are not just mathematicians but also encouraging and experienced teachers. It doesn’t matter how well you know and understand math. If you are not  a teacher, or don’t have natural teaching skills, getting the point across and explaining concepts in ways that children learn, you can be fighting a losing battle from the start. From the very first assessment with your child we start to observe and understand their learning style. We can then match them with the appropriate tutor who will connect with them in a way that will help the information be delivered in a way your child understands the best, making the learning process easier, faster and more enjoyable and rewarding.  
   
   
3. Working with a tutor will help to improve your child’s confidence and self esteem.  Spending time struggling to answer questions and not understanding exactly what is asked of them, and then not being confident with their answer can really knock a child’s confidence. It can take hours for a child to try and reach a solution to a math problem when they don’t thoroughly understand the formulas and foundations of the subject in order to gather the necessary information and solve the problem. Add to that the looming sense that their answer is most likely going to be incorrect anyway and your child will be headed down a very stressful pathway in their learning. Feeling this way will also stop your child from wanting to work on the subject and participate in the classes. At Mathnasium of Saskatoon our goal is to find the cracks in their learning foundations, and get your child caught up so that they rebuild their confidence and see positive results in their work. This builds self esteem, re-instills the enjoyment of actively participating in class as they feel they have value to contribute and they will begin to see success and reap the rewards of their studies. Our tutors celebrate the successes your child achieves and encourage and support them as they begin to improve and build their confidence. 
   
   
4. At Mathnasium, your child’s tutor can also work closely with your child’s school to make sure that their complimentary studies are in line with their current curriculum and teaching styles. Some tutors may be able to help with homework and assist your child to catch up and get the grade, but may actually overwhelm your child by teaching different methods and not following the same curriculum as what your child is currently working on in school. It is important to have continuity and consistency in their learning so as not to confuse your child. 
   
   
5. Your tutor can also help your child to advance in the subject. In some instances, your child’s current math class may not be helping your child to advance at the level they are capable of achieving. Perhaps your child is working towards getting into a specific collage or school or is passionate about a specific career goal that requires reaching a certain level in mathematic comprehension. At Mathnasium of Saskatoon we will work with you and your child to establish your precise goals and design a plan that will reach these goals.
