We love instructing a wide range of kids from K - 12th grade. We will assess your child's specific neeeds and use this math assessment as the roadmap to your child's success. We encourage educational growth via the Socratic Method - helping students find the answers themselves through questioning, not lecturing. In other words, we teach the student to fish... we don't just give them the fish. Through prizes, games, and puzzles, we avoid "rote memorization" and maintain a POSITIVE learning atmosphere!
