    Christina was absolutely wonderful. She went out of her way to win my son over and it worked. He looked forward to her visits and his speech improved so much under her care.

    We could not be happier with the services Valerie provided! She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable and provided significant guidance to support our daughter's speech development outside of our scheduled sessions. She established … More a great working relationship with her, and she will definitely be missed! Your business model is amazing and it was an absolute pleasure working with Valerie.

    Samantha Dalmas was fantastic! We saw her for a feeding therapy evaluation and while she doesn’t think my daughter needs more feeding therapy sessions at this time, but she gave me lots of tips to try.

    We had a very positive experience with Alissa as a tutor for our pod of 5th grade boys from January - June 2020. She cared a lot about the boys and worked hard to create meaningful activities for them. The pod experience was invaluable … More for all of our families during a difficult year and we were so grateful to have found this partnership! We also want to appreciate Craig for helping to match us with a tutor on very short notice after we had cycled through a few folks who were not able to see the commitment through. Thanks for sticking with us!
  • Avatar S CL ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Dusty was the exact person we needed to help our child finish out the school year. So grateful to him for the way he steadily encouraged her and helped her stay on track and organized. He is flexible, responsive to our needs/schedule as … More a family, and a delight to be with. We are also thankful that Craig at Themba Tutors really "gets it" and partnered us with such a wonderful tutor who was a great fit for our girl.
  • Avatar Nicole May ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    My child worked with Gillian D virtually for math enrichment. She is an excellent teacher. She took time to understand my child's specific learning style and provided tools that would be engaging. She was kind and empathetic- really … More made it her goal to connect with my child and build trust and rapport. My child started the school year with confidence and without the typically "brain-drain" that occurs over the summer, thanks to Gillian.
  • Avatar Gillian Davidoff ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I am going into my second year as a Themba tutor. I have met so many great individuals while working for this company. Craig and the rest of the Themba team do such an excellent job picking and choosing Themba tutors that suit each client's … More individual needs! I look forward to meeting new tutors and clients in the 2021-2022 school year!
  • Avatar carolina luttmann ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Our son started in a new high school, 100% remote, and was really struggling with Latin and Physics. I found Themba Tudors online and had an initial call with Craig, who was very knowledgeable, responsive, and found 2 amazing tutors for … More us. Both the Latin and the physics tutors were fantastic, connected with my son really well and helped him go from 'failing' grade to 'honors'! I will for sure continue using (and recommending!) Themba Tutors. Thank you, C, K, and W!

  • Avatar Susan Wong ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Giulia Mercuri is a great Italian tutor! She was very responsive and accessible. Giulia put a ton of effort into preparing for each session and really helped our son with test preparation and projects. We are grateful that she was able … More to help, especially since our son did not receive any live teaching during COVID. We are happy that she was referred to us!
  • Avatar Christine Gennetti ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    As an adult student diagnosed with a learning disability during grad school, I knew I needed help dealing with my Master's program's demanding workload. I was seriously considering dropping out when I was referred to Themba Tutors. … More I was paired up with a wonderful tutor, Julie, who was a total lifesaver. I learned many techniques that I can utilize in the future as I embark on the next phase of my career.
    I can wholeheartedly say after working with Themba for two years that I would not have finished my program without this organization. And I am so thankful I selected them.

    We were introduced to a wonderful tutor: Mcedwyn. He and our son, a freshman in college, worked well together. As a result, our son’s grades significantly improved. The tutor taught our son subject content and various methods to effectively … More study for quizzes and exams. Our son was also taught time management and organization. My son’s experience with the tutor made the first year of college a less intimidating experience.
  • Avatar Jude Eugene ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    We have been with our tutor, Cailin Schiller, for two years, from 5th - 7th grade. She started as an executive functioning tutor with my daughter. From the start, she demonstrated a depth of expertise and a selective use of techniques skillfully … More adapted to my daughter’s ADHD and Math disability. Cailin made Math accessible and understandable to her in a way that even her teachers had not been able to do. She differentiated reading, writing and math tasks and assignments to tailor them to my daughter’s unique learning differences. Not only did it have an effect on her grades and her work efficiency, but she finally could do her work with less anxiety. Even my daughter’s teachers used Cailin’s guidance to modify their work with her. But most importantly, she became my daughter’s favorite resource. I can’t say how invaluable Cailin has been to my daughter’s progress and well-being. I’d recommend her a million times over. She is a gem.

    Themba Tutors provided a leaning specialist that was a perfect fit for my daughter. I told them what we were looking for and they delivered. Our tutor is responsive and flexible and makes it easy for my daughter to reach out to her own … More her own, which gives her an added sense of responsibility over her learning. As a therapist myself, I now regularly recommend Themba to my patients. A much needed and well provided service to the community!!

    The tutors at Themba are fantastic! Caitlyn McNeill helped our son academically, but also with getting organized in every subject, which he so desperately needed.

    Paul Smith at Themba has been an exceptional tutor for my son, both in terms of teaching the subject matter and teaching how best to approach the process of learning math and executing assignments. We feel very fortunate to be working with … More Paul.
  • Avatar Monica Alzate ★★★★★ 5 years ago
    We were very lucky to have found Edwouine Swift, my son's therapist through Themba Tutors. Thomas is 12 years old, and it is extremely difficult to get him to write. Edwouine just works her magic with him, he adores her and is so … More eager to follow her guidance. I have no doubt she will be a positive driving force in his academic future.

HOW MATH TUTORING SERVICES ENHANCE STUDENT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

math tutoring services benefits

How much are you willing to pay to improve your student’s academic performance in science?

We’ve all been there. You are on the other side of the computer, while your kid is struggling with equations, fractions, and algebra concepts and doesn’t understand what you are trying to teach them.

Science is the type of subject when your child is not confident enough, then:

  • his or her performance in school drops.
  • they feel frustrated.

You know these problems are not easy to tackle, but you still want to do something about it.

That is why you are in the right place. In this post, we will teach you how math tutoring services work, how they can help your student and how to choose the best services for you.

Let’s dive right into it.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why Math Tutoring Services Make Such A Big Difference
  • How Tutoring Transforms Student Performance
  • The Best Types of Math Tutoring Programs
  • Choosing The Right Math Support For Your Student

Why Math Tutoring Services Make Such A Big Difference

There are many good reasons to opt for private math support services, but not all parents know them. Do you want to know them? If you haven’t started your student getting math help, yet, here are three reasons why they should.

Build Strong Mathematical Foundations

Math tutoring is one of the best approaches to build strong foundations in math. Why is it so? The answer is simple, personalized instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where students lack the knowledge and concentrate on helping them cover these gaps. Qualified Maths tutors in Adelaide or from other Australian cities are capable of giving children the individual attention they cannot get in overcrowded classrooms.

Better foundations will equal to better confidence and performance. Research also showed that math tutoring can increase scores by up to 20% for students who receive math help regularly. These improvements are significant and long-lasting.

Fill Learning Gaps Quickly

You can compare tutoring to a targeted medical treatment. Every school wants to help every student succeed in their educational path, but the ratio of 25-30 students to one teacher does not make it possible. There is an essential insight in this matter. What is that?

When students get targeted instruction and concentrate on their specific problem areas, they catch up much faster than in traditional schools. Research shows that high-impact tutoring is 20 times more effective than regular classroom teaching methods in the case of mathematics.

This is a win-win-win situation. Students see themselves succeed in math and realize they are able to master even the most challenging subjects. The surge of confidence will then transfer to other academic areas and help your student throughout their educational journey.

Boost Academic Confidence

One of the underrated benefits of math tutoring services is the boost of academic confidence. Math anxiety is the problem that affects many students and becomes a vicious circle for them. When children experience difficulties with math concepts, they form a “math is a difficult subject” mindset that works against them and gets them trapped. The tutoring approach can break this chain by providing patient, gentle instruction and celebrating every improvement.

Benefits of Math Tutoring Services

How Tutoring Transforms Student Performance

Math tutoring services are not the same as regular schools’ instruction. In fact, effective tutoring programs apply research-based techniques that speed up the learning process.

What are those techniques?

  • Diagnostic assessments to pinpoint weaknesses
  • Personalized instruction plans
  • Regular progress monitoring
  • Flexible pacing based on the student’s needs

Tutoring is effective because it addresses the learning needs that are usually neglected in the traditional classroom setting. The success key for math tutoring is to make sure that instruction focuses on the student’s particular knowledge gaps. This is not the same as in the regular class when teachers follow the predetermined curriculum pacing even if not all students have the necessary prerequisite skills.

The Best Types of Math Tutoring Programs

Now let’s move to the specific tutoring approaches that work and have solid research evidence to support them.

High-Dosage Tutoring

When it comes to math tutoring services, …frequency is a keyword. Here is the reason why.

The most effective math tutoring is the one that happens at least 3 times per week and in focused sessions. By high-dosage tutoring, we mean getting consistent and regular support not an occasional one. This type of an intensive approach is effective because the concepts and ideas get reinforced several times and all knowledge gaps get addressed systematically. That is why you should consider only consistent and structured programs that meet at least three times a week and monitor students’ progress regularly. One study has shown that students who participated in a high dosage program have gained two-thirds of a year of mathematical learning during one academic year.

One-on-One Instruction

Do you want the most personalized approach that exists? An individual tutoring session might be the exact math support strategy for you. Most of the group instruction moves at the pace that is pre-determined. You probably understand the problem with this approach already-while some students need more time, the others are ready to move ahead. One-on-one tutoring is different as the entire session is only focused on your student’s specific needs. So what are the best strategies to make the most out of individualized instruction?

My two favorites are:

  • Diagnostic-driven instruction
  • Mastery-based progression

Diagnostic-Driven Math Tutoring

Math tutoring driven by diagnostics starts with the comprehensive assessment of a student’s mathematical skills. Tutors discover exactly which concepts are mastered by them and which ones need more work. Sounds simple, right? It is this way it works because the instruction is targeted exactly at the actual knowledge gaps and not at the generic curriculum. You know the best thing about this approach? It is completely personalized, students spend time on those concepts they need most and not on reviewing the material they already know.

Mastery-Based Math Support

Mastery-based math tutoring makes sure that students fully understand each concept before moving to the next one. They do not rush over the topics but make sure that students can apply the mathematical concepts independently. The key to making this approach work is to be patient and focus on understanding rather than speed. The students can advance only if they can demonstrate that they are capable of using a particular skill set.

To learn more about effective math tutoring services look for the programs that use evidence-based approaches and track their students’ progress systematically.

Choosing The Right Math Support For Your Student

The tutoring market is big, and it provides you with many options, but not all of them will deliver good results. Effective math tutoring services have some common characteristics that you should search for:

  • Qualified instructors with expertise in the math area
  • Structured curriculum aligned with school standards
  • Regular progress monitoring and feedback
  • Flexible scheduling to fit into your family

The secret to finding a great math tutor is to make sure the program meets the needs of your student and that their learning style is well addressed.

Putting It All Together

And now you have it: The complete guide to math tutoring services and how they can boost academic performance. You know the problem of effective tutoring is that it takes time from both the student and the family to succeed. Don’t have enough time to research every option in the market?

Consider trying established tutoring programs that specialize in math instruction and delivery. One more fact is that 87 percent of schools now offer tutoring services that prove how important they have become for students’ success. Math tutoring services can significantly change your student’s academic path if applied correctly. The research is irrefutable- students who receive regular, high-quality math help show great improvements in both performance and academic confidence.
