    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. She was super flexible and it’s clear she truly cares. We adore … More Christina and we’re going to miss her. Almost sad he improved so much!

    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. I've referred your organization and Valerie to the Executive Director of our daughter's school and friends/colleagues who are in need of speech therapy services.

    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. If my daughter's doctors want … More to see more progress at her next appointment, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Samantha again.

    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.

    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.

Why Your Child Needs an Exeter Math Tutor

Math can be taught in some pretty creative ways, believe it or not, and private schools are some of the best educational institutions that pioneer novel approaches in teaching traditional subjects. The Phillips Exeter Academy, one of the premier boarding schools in the United States, is a case study in this innovative approach to math instruction.

 

Teachers at Exeter created a series of math books featuring problems, approaches, and solutions that are currently employed at other private day and boarding schools many years ago. This method has come to be known as Exeter Math, and it’s something that your child can master with the help of an Exeter math tutor. Learn how you would know if your child needs a math tutor.

How Does Exeter Math Work?

What makes Exeter Math truly revolutionary is that the typical classes and course progression of Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and so on are abandoned in favor of pupils learning the skills and computations required to solve problems. Rather than splitting them out into segmented annual learning, each homework assignment combines aspects of each regular math course. Exeter’s math classes are built on math problems written by the teachers. The entire course is problem-centered rather than topic-centered, which distinguishes it from standard math classes.

 

The goal of Exeter math is to challenge students to think in a dynamic and creative way when solving math problems instead of relying on rote memory. While the traditional math curriculum requires teachers to provide direct instruction and conventional solutions, Exeter math encourages students to use analytical reasoning and exercise autonomy when solving math problems.

 

Exeter math does away with textbooks and traditional learning materials in favor of math problems developed by their own faculty.. These problems are designed to teach students to be proactive in discovering and applying mathematical concepts, ideas, and techniques. Collaboration is also crucial in Exeter math, as students are expected to discuss with their teachers whatever challenge they encounter and compare and contrast their work and methods with their fellow students.

 

A typical homework consists of eight to 10 problems that students must solve on their own. They are then expected to share and teach their methods and strategies to their classmates the next day.

 

What If a Student Has Math Difficulties?

If students are stuck on a problem, teachers recommend that they make an educated estimate and then double-check their work. They accomplish this by inventing a simpler problem based on the same principle as the current one. The following day, students bring their work to class and debate it in a seminar-style setting around a Harkness table, an oval-shaped table invented at Exeter and used in most of their classes to foster interaction. The goal is not merely to deliver the correct answer, but for each student to take turns presenting his or her work to stimulate discourse, exchange approaches, work through problems, discuss ideas, and support other students. Learn how to teach a child with math learning disabilities.

 

In other instances, students also seek the support of an Exeter math tutor.

Here are some helpful lecture videos with hands-on, interactive problem solving for all areas of math for ages 10 and up to master essential skills.

How Can an Exeter Math Tutor Help?

It is not uncommon for students coming from a traditional math background to feel a kind of “culture shock” when encountering Exeter math for the first time. Students often find themselves grasping for answers and at a loss when suddenly thrust into a situation where they have to rely on their own knowledge and analytical thinking in solving Exeter math problems. This is because traditional math instruction puts emphasis on applying memorized formulas, theorems, or concepts that leave little room for students to conduct their own investigation, exercise critical thinking, and practice self-discovery.

 

Hence, it’s no surprise that most students struggle with Exeter math, especially when they cannot overcome their frustrations. This is why students who plan to enroll in an Exeter math program or are currently taking it should consider seeking the help of an Exeter math tutor.

 

An Exeter math tutor can help students navigate the unique challenges that Exeter math presents and identify gaps in content, teach problem-solving strategies, and build skills and confidence.. Aside from this, an Exeter math tutor can:

 

  • Help students adjust and adapt to a new way of learning math
  • Familiarize students with Exeter math curriculum and content
  • Teach the most efficient methods for solving Exeter math problems
  • Identify prevailing themes in the curriculum and direct the student’s focus 
  • Teach students how to organize their work and how to take notes efficiently
  • Develop test-taking strategies that will allow students to properly prepare for exams even without textbook guides

We were very pleased with Samara tutoring service. Lindsay said she really enjoyed working with Samara. Lindsay finished her math class with a B, which is a great tribute to the support and guidance that Samara provided. Lindsay has completed her math requirement and she will graduate this weekend.

We would definitely recommend Samara, especially for any student struggling with math anxiety and/or dyscalculia. Thanks to Samara and you for your help!

This company is great in finding awesome learning specialists who work with kids of all ages and use multisensory techniques to help break down abstract concepts. My child needs help with math and they were able to supply my child with a top-notch math tutor who was able to really help my son improve. Not only is it hard to find qualified math learning specialists who work well with school aged children, but they come to your home, which is a real godsend.

 

-Mr. K. Kim       

Themba Tutors was recommended to us by a therapist I used to evaluate my daughter, a 7th grader in a public school in Manhattan, for possible learning disabilities related to math. She needed help with strategies for completing homework and keeping skills up to date, and also some remedial work to get her where she should be especially with the challenging Common Core curriculum. My daughter had used a few tutors in the past, but none of them were as effective as Matt. Matt has a very kind way about him and his genuine concern for my daughter s progress was apparent. He was able to focus her attention on the full sessions without her feeling stressed or overwhelmed. He adjusted the agenda to accommodate problem areas that arose and to address extra last-minute material that needed to be reviewed for upcoming tests. Her final report card reflected a 90 for the school year we couldn’t have been more thrilled! Matt has a real gift for teaching that significantly contributed to her getting on track. Thank you for recommending Matt!
