Why do Palo Alto Math Students Choose Mathnasium?

If you're a Palo Alto Parent who's curious about our Palo Alto Math Tutoring Center or even one of our Palo Alto Math Tutoring Parents, you might be wondering why Mathnasium is a good way to help your Palo Alto Math Tutoring Student catch up or excel in math. Well, our Palo Alto Math tutors have the answer, and it comes down to something known as Bloom's 2 Sigma Problem. You're probably wondering what in the world Bloom's 2 Sigma Problem is and how it applies to your kid. Let me explain. In 1984, Benjamin Bloom reported that kids who were taught using a combination mastery learning and one-on-one tutoring performed 2 standard deviations better than the control group (or in other words, the average student taught with these methods would be in the 98th percentile of the control group)! This is why Mathnasium is great for your Palo Alto Math Tutoring Student.

What Our Palo Alto Math Tutors Do

We use mastery learning (or in other words, have students repeat material until they've mastered it). Furthermore, although we can't offer one-on-one tutoring, we have a math tutor to math student ratio of about 1:3 so our math tutors are able to answer questions and help students when they are struggling. This allows for large progression in your Palo Alto Math Tutoring Student's math education. In conclusion, this phenomenon shows just why Mathnasium is so great at what it does!
