Then on standardized test, the sides are now labeled "EFG", and the child...

Josh: Berkeley Math tutor
Certified Math Tutor in Berkeley, CA
My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

If your student is at a crossroads in math, you can make sure that frustration and confusion don't win!

The educational directors at Varsity Tutors will find you a tutor in Berkeley, who is skilled at helping students who are preparing for success in math.
