MaTh TuTor. Sounds like a pretty straight forward job, right? Just reverse the words, and you get it: we tutor MaTh. But there is so much more. Not only do we tutor MaTh, we care, we create, we adapt, and most importantly we DO MaTh. But why do we do it all? Because we believe that a world where everyone understands MaTh is a wonderful place. So, how do we do it? Well that’s what I’m here to tell you!
Do you know how many students the average public high school teacher in Georgia has? The average class size is 25.4; if each teacher has 5 classes that makes a total of 127 students per teacher. This makes it fairly complicated for the teacher to ensure that each student gets the attention they need. This is where the MaTh tutor comes in! We care for the individual student. When they succeed, we succeed. We assess each and every student we have on an individual level. We look at their personality type and their learning style to determine what they need to succeed. It’s our job to care for and cater to every student to the best of our ability. It’s part of our job, and we love it because knowing and seeing a student’s progress is extremely gratifying.
Enrichment and practice are two things that are incredibly important to learning and succeeding in MaTh, and as MaTh tutors we are dedicated to both of these things. This is why we create. We create games, worksheets, instructional videos, interactive projects, reward systems, all in the pursuit of our student’s success. Not only are these things helpful to us, they benefit our students. MaTh games are a wonderful way to get the student involved and excited about MaTh. Instructional videos help students who need instant access to information on a specific MaTh topic. Interactive projects build teamwork and leadership skills. Our reward systems encourage our students to constantly improve, and to not only get the grade, but to reach another goal that may be more rewarding for them personally.
Every student is different. They learn at different paces, they are encouraged by different things, and they all have different interests. Being MaTh tutors we deal with almost all types of students, and sometimes we come against a challenge. But we adapt. If we have a problem, we have the time to step back and look at our student to see what we can do better. Why is this student struggling with a specific topic? What can we do to make it better? What can we do for this student to ensure that they succeed? These are the questions we ask ourselves when a problem arises. These are the questions that we take the time to answer to ensure the student’s success.
MaTh. It’s a unique subject that many students abhor. But why? It’s all around us. From the food that we eat to the technology we use, MaTh is the basis for most of the modern world. As MaTh tutors we are determined to encourage students to not only succeed in MaTh, but to enjoy it, explore it, and appreciate it. So not only do we tutor MaTh, we live it, love it, and make the world a better place with it.
