...effective. It's easy to spark an interest when learning becomes fun! I gained a lot of experience tutoring while in high school - from helping friends with homework to teaching workshops on SAT Math. I've noticed that a lot of students aren't struggling to understand a concept, but rather are struggling to understand how the concept is being presented. By contextualizing learning to REAL problems, I find it much easier to make students care about...

...thinking!) and a student's goals, and it's usually bigger than it first appears. A star athlete doesn't just need to pass English to graduate; she needs to be able to write a well organized and error-free letter. In time, I'd hope to become the kind of tutor a student wants to impress, and whose tips and tag lines come to mind at unexpected moments even after the student is off to new adventures.

...(visual, auditory, kinesthetic preference), observe as s(he) does problems to see why mistakes are being made, correct and give follow-up practice, all the while building the student's all-important self-confidence. Motivation builds from this improving confidence; students meet challenges I give them and want more. For younger minds I build more interest in math by playing learning games. With parent permission, I communicate and work closely with classroom teachers. As much as I can, I plan...

How can a Elementary Math tutor help you?
Everyone will have to take an elementary math class at some point during their early educational years. These courses cover the basics of what your child could need to use in everyday life: shapes, multiplication, subtraction, graphing, and more. Students must learn these skills solidly in order to complete basic activities necessary to everyday life, such as adding prices at a store or describing an object to another person. In addition, a child who struggles in elementary math will never be able to excel in upper level mathematics classes. Thankfully, Varsity Tutors' educational directors in Portsmouth, VA, can locate a tutor who might help your child get back on track and excel in elementary math.
Varsity Tutors could help you locate a private tutor in Portsmouth who could help your child try to understand elementary math. Our educational directors will handpick your child's tutor based on their topics of difficulty, personality, learning style, and interests. We will also find a tutor who could work with your schedule, which may allow your child to hold sessions with a tutor nearly anywhere when it works best for your family. A tutor can take a younger child to the park to practice adding and subtracting rocks, while older children may prefer to go to the library to drill tough long division problems. Your child could learn measurement skills by baking a cake in your own kitchen, or they can meet their tutor online through the Varsity Tutors face-to-face live learning platform for a review session before an important exam if they are especially busy.
