Math Problems Today Mean Bigger Struggles Tomorrow

The warning signs are clear

Schedule Free Assessment

Does your child:

  • Avoid math homework or express anxiety about it?
  • Get decent grades but struggle with with word problems?
  • Say "I'm just not a math person"?

These are the early warning signs of a growing math disconnect that could limit your child's future opportunities. While report cards may show passing grades, national assessments reveal many students lack fundamental math skills needed for future success.

Research Shows: High-Dosage Tutoring Works

Recent studies confirm that personalized, consistent math instruction — known as "high-dosage tutoring" — is the most effective intervention for students falling behind. The University of Chicago Education Lab found students receiving at least three tutoring sessions per week showed significant gains in math proficiency, often recovering months of learning in just weeks.

Today's Math Challenges Have Long-Term Consequences

Math builds upon itself. When students miss key concepts, they don't just struggle with today's homework — they build a foundation too weak to support future learning. Each missed concept makes the next one harder to grasp, creating a cycle that becomes increasingly difficult to break.

Students with strong math foundations are more likely to graduate from college, earn higher incomes, and perform better academically. Advanced math in high school raises college graduation rates from 15% to 37%, and passing Algebra 1 by 9th grade doubles the chance of high school graduation and boosts college completion. A quality math curriculum can also increase academic performance by 38 percentile points.

Today's educational system often masks math struggles with inflated grades. While your child's report card shows B's and C's, standardized tests reveal a different story. This "grade inflation" creates a false sense of security for parents until their child faces more advanced concepts and suddenly can't keep up. By then, catching up becomes exponentially more difficult.
