ABOVE-GRADE TUTORING Provides In-Home Math Tutoring in Chester County, PA, for K-12th Grade

Many of us grew up with a love-hate relationship with math—we either loved numbers or disliked them vehemently. Even though it can feel overwhelming to grasp number concepts filling a page and colliding in our brains, math is one of those marvelous skills that we can’t do without in daily life.

Our attitudes toward our math abilities most often come from the way it’s taught to us. In a classroom, the teacher usually instructs the whole class one way. Yet, students learn differently. At ABOVE-GRADE TUTORING, we discover how each child learns best—and that’s the way we teach him or her. And when a concept clicks…that’s when math becomes really exciting!

At ABOVE-GRADE TUTORING, we offer our students the most unique and effective math teaching approach you’ll find anywhere. For us, it’s not good enough to lead a student through one math problem after another, only to have the skills forgotten when they go to school the next day. That’s why we use a unique approach. We utilize research-validated, brain-based strategies to facilitate learning. Sitting in a classroom, trying to soak in knowledge, a child’s brain is relatively passive. However, with our one-to-one math tutoring approach, students’ brains are actively engaged the entire lesson. Quite simply, our methods work.

  • First, our students take a free comprehensive diagnostic skill assessment to identify their math skill levels. They take this math assessment right at home, on their home computers.
  • Next, we meet with families in their homes for a free personal consultation to go over the assessment and identify their goals.
  • Next, we custom-create a personalized math curriculum that addresses the student’s skill gaps, as well as accelerates them where their skills are strong. No two students have the same curriculum! We are always willing to align our tutoring to the topics the student is studying in school. Our program combines both remediation of skill gaps and help with current school assignments.
  • Finally, we carefully pair each student with a perfectly matched tutor, considering both skill levels and personality.
