Specific tutor assignments are made when the student comes to the Connection Math Center for their lesson, providing flexibility in accommodating various time slots for students to come in.
Prior to each lesson, our tutors discuss the student's goals and needs, tailoring the lesson accordingly. Additionally, we utilize specialized software to generate problems aligned with their learning objectives that will assist them in comprehension and growth over time.We employ our three core problem-solving approaches: fundamentals, demonstration, and questioning. Students are encouraged to use each method as appropriate, empowering them to reach their goals and deepen their understanding. Dive Deeper Into Our Approach.
Students naturally learn at varying rates, and it's important to us to address our students at their current need and level. Our program directs attention towards current challenges, which might involve revisiting earlier math concepts, the fundamentals, that haven't been thoroughly developed before. While building on fundamentals may take additional time, it lays the groundwork for a more robust foundation in the future.
Math plays a key role in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, essential for navigating the world beyond exams and classrooms. Our aim is to empower students to extend their skills beyond academic settings, applying analytical thinking to real-life situations. We invite you to share your student's math goals with us, and we'll strive to assist them in achieving those objectives, both in the classroom and for their future.
