Mitch: Santa Monica Math tutor
Certified Math Tutor in Santa Monica, CA
If you need help with Chemistry or Physics (for High School or Community College), or any kind of math from Algebra on - let me be your tutor! These subjects don't have to be hard. I can break them down and explain them for you. I'm a nerd (fantasy and science fiction) from way back, as well as a space nut. I'm a little quirky, and I make bad puns sometimes - but nobody's perfect!

Santa Monica Math Tutoring FAQ
If your child is having difficulty in math, help is available. Varsity Tutors' educational directors can help students in Santa Monica find independent, experienced math tutors. Whether your child is having difficulty in absolute values or whole numbers, a professional tutor can create a specialized lesson plan for your child, ensuring that his or her areas of weakness are understood while minimizing boredom by quickly reviewing what your child already understands.
Success in mathematics is crucial for children at any age, and frustration could lead to a dislike of learning in general. This attitude can make success much more difficult to achieve later in life; if your child dislikes learning, he or she will be less likely to go to college and possibly to be employed to the best of his or her ability. Therefore, excellent study habits should be taught early. A professional tutor can teach these study habits, ensuring that your child has an advantage in every class, not just mathematics. We can locate a math tutor in Santa Monica who can complement your child's learning style.
An even more important factor to consider is that many children who are having difficulty in a subject often feel stigmatized by their peers, who may mock and belittle them. This learning environment may make your child feel unwelcome, or afraid to ask questions. Unlike in a classroom setting, a math tutor in Santa Monica, CA, can provide personalized sessions that are focused on your child. One-on-one tutoring in Santa Monica, CA, can afford your child the ability to fine-tune his or her math skills by getting immediate feedback on any issues experienced in the classroom. This feedback might improve your child's confidence and self-esteem.
Even better, finding a professional educator is easy with Varsity Tutors. Our live learning platform could help you connect with a professional tutor either in person or online. If you choose to schedule an in-person session, the time and location are your decision. Schedule a session anywhere you like, whether it be at Santa Monica Pier, at the Santa Monica Public Library, or in your home. You also may schedule an online session whenever you like.
As adults, we apply basic mathematical skills every day, and so we forget how difficult it was for some of us to achieve proficiency in the subject. However, there are children who struggle through mathematics every day, eventually either giving up or getting so frustrated that they become embittered. Do not allow your child to become embittered with school. Contact Varsity Tutors and give your child every chance to be academically successful. His or her future may depend on it.
