President Obama’s new education policy highlighted a very significant point – American students are lagging behind students in the same age group in the rest of the world in Math and Science. He proposed giving an added impetus to these subjects since problem solving skills and mathematical ability can be key differentiators in today’s world.
What makes Math and Science so tough for a lot of students?
Very often we hear students saying - ‘It just seems so tough.’ Or, ‘I just don’t understand how this problem needs to be solved.’ So what makes the study of Math and Science so different? To do well in both these subjects, a student needs a complete understanding of the ‘why’ and ‘what’ behind each problem or phenomena. Since Math and Science are logic and concept driven, it is important to get the right guidance from the formative years itself.
However, in a regular classroom setting, a teacher has to concentrate on many students and as a result he/she cannot answer every question. Also, a lot of times, students maybe hesitant to ask and this leads to a lack of conceptual knowledge which only makes it tougher to understand these subjects with each passing year.
So what can be done?
Regular, one-on-one tutoring is the best way to understand Math and Science and also work on building concepts. A good tutoring program like TutorVista’s will not rush your child into tutoring. We first take an assessment test and figure out what are the specific areas your child needs help in. Post that, we tailor sessions to make your child comfortable in the subject. In fact our tutors are very involved in the academic progress of your child. Besides regular tutoring, they will work with your child on assignments and homework and are ready to assist them if they need help before an important test.
We have seen that students are extremely comfortable in asking questions in an online setting and a lot of them show remarkable improvement in Math and Science the first year of tutoring itself.
In fact online tutoring programs like TutorVista’s aren’t just about working out a few problems in Math and Science and logging off. We offer an extensive library of e–learning material like Math and Science question banks, simulations and animations to help the students ace the subject.
Your child gets personalized attention and decides how fast the lesson should progresses based on his/her grasping power.
This school year give your child the right guidance in Math and Science and open up a world of possibilities.
