Mathnasium of Parker and Khan Academy both attract students who want to increase their math skills and raise their math grades. Both offer math instruction and practice at an individualized learning pace. In fact, many math teachers assign Khan Academy videos and exercises to supplement their classroom instruction.
Why enroll at Mathnasium of Parker when Khan Academy is free?
We know we offer great value, compared with typical tutoring and other math centers, and even sports. But free? How do we compete with free?
We don’t compete with Khan at all.
Khan videos have their place for simple math support, like if you forgot to take notes one day in math class. But videos are not a substitute for qualified, enthusiastic human interaction.
Take the Khan Academy Video Challenge
Choose a math topic that you don’t remember from your high school days, perhaps the properties of logarithms or factoring quadratic equations. Now try learning that skill by watching the Khan videos. Watch the whole video and then try the exercises associated with the video.
How long did you watch before you tuned out or gave up?
Who can you ask if you have questions?
After watching the video, did you successfully answer the practice questions?
If you are like most people, you got frustrated and gave up fairly quickly. How long would your child stay engaged with a video like that?
Students at Mathnasium of Parker stay engaged because of our people. If a student has a question or is struggling, we are right there to offer support and guidance. We are the right choice for ongoing math support. Come give us a try with our Free Trial.
