<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">Our children’s long-term success depends on their ability to compete and collaborate with people around the world. There is one language they will all need to use, and it’s not English: It’s math. Unfortunately, the difference between U.S. students’ math skills and those of their global peers is consistently alarming. The most recent Programme for International Student Assessment (2018) ranked U.S. students below the middle of the pack in math proficiency1 — as it has for years.</o:p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">Ready or not, our students are growing up in an increasingly competitive world — one for which many other countries are better prepared because they strongly emphasize math competency. What’s more, the pandemic placed a new burden on our students, making it an even greater challenge to compete with their international peers in math.</o:p>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:#333333">Math Tutoring is Part of the Remedy<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"></o:p>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">Much of what our children still learn in school — and are tested on — is their ability to calculate. That won’t be enough to make them successful in the global digital economy. So increasingly, parents who recognize the importance of math and STEM to their children’s future are choosing to supplement their child’s classroom math education during the K-12 years.</o:p>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">But not all math tutoring programs will take children to the finish line. Stories abound of children who learn to crunch numbers but haven’t internalized the fundamental understanding that builds the foundation for true math comprehension and achievement. Therefore, it’s critical that parents evaluate programs for their ability to make math comprehensible in a way that builds foundational knowledge and that matches their child’s individual learning style. This creates enthusiasm for math learning rather than a resistance to math and math-related academic subjects and careers.</o:p>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">Equally important is that a math-tutoring program teaches children to think critically and to solve problems independently — skills they’ll use in every area of their lives, forever.</o:p>
<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">Tomorrow’s workers — today’s children — will need critical thinking and problem-solving skills to compete globally and to address serious issues in a world whose only constant changes. By learning and growing confidence in math, they can be ready to take on the world.<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:#333333"></o:p>
