One of the most impressive statistics at Mathnasium is this: 94% of parents reported an increase in their child's math skills and understanding. Those results aren't just an accident. At Mathnasium of Collegeville, we have fine-tuned math instruction to be as good as it can get. Here are some of our secrets as to why students love Mathnasium Instructors and their instruction:
- Mathnasium instructors are specially trained to fill a role that's different from a parent or a school teacher. Edutopia explains it this way, "Personal relationships are foundational to student success... the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect". When the student trusts and respects his/her Mathnasium Instructor, we find that students become more reachable. Then the instructor is better able to teach to the student's strengths and help improve their weaknesses.
- One-on-one attention is priceless. Parents have learned this lesson outside of the classroom. Most kids behave best when distractions are eliminated and the parents can focus more attention on their child. Read more about this idea here. The same principle is used at Mathnasium of Collegeville. We know that kids perform better when they have the patient, kind attention they deserve. That's why we offer plenty of one-on-one instruction with each of our students.
- Our Mathnasium instructors know how to balance time for teaching and time for independent thinking. Oftentimes, traditional tutors overteach their students and provide all answers, while robbing their students of the time they need for independent practice. With a balanced amount of instruction and independent practice, your student will learn math and keep the confidence of a job well done. Offering up all the answers or 'spoonfeeding' has its negative effects. At Mathnasium of Collegeville, we don't spoonfeed answers and we don't become 'crutches' for our students. Instead, we specialize in creating 'aha!' moments with our students.
- Last, but not least, Mathnasium instructors are adept at reading upside-down! That's a unique and cool skill you'll find only with Mathnasium instructors!!
Come experience the patented and proven success of Mathnasium, your student will thank you.
