Tutoring

Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations or algorithms; it is about UNDERSTANDING. 

 -William Paul Thurston

The Philosophy

At the Theobald Education Group, we believe that building a strong foundation is the key to long-term success in math. Whether the concept is arithmetic or algebra, geometry or calculus, these mathematical concepts provide foundational learning required to move to the next level in math. Helping students achieve both comfort and mastery with each level gives students more confidence in their math ability as well as their overall problem-solving skills. 

We build a solid foundation of understanding and re-teach concepts tied to class as needed. In doing this, we frequently uncover areas of weakness and work to strengthen these as well. As a student gains confidence and begins to develop a strong platform of skills and understanding, we preview materials so that students are best positioned to the lesson they are working on inside the classroom.

The Approach

The sessions are tailored to fit each child’s specific content needs, and are designed to fit their learning style. Sessions can typically include:

• Opportunity for the students to set the pace or learning; we advance when the student feels ready.

• Individual tutoring with a personal approach, tailoring each session to their specific needs.

• Reteaching concepts that were introduced in class using strategies that match the individual student’s learning style.

The Details

Weekly or bi-weekly sessions make the most sense for students wanting to make progress via individual sessions, and regular attendance is the key to making measurable growth as a student.  

All sessions last 50 minutes and are conducted virtually.
