Math at Score!

july 13 2007

Blogging can make a great difference in the lives of people.

Today I wrote about the boost in reading of my daughter.
Just a couple of moments ago I received an email to thank me.

A father thanked me for writing about the SCORE! Educational Centers. The way children regain joy in learning was so appealing to him that he enroled his son in the Personal Academic Tutoring program.

He's impressed by the thourough approach of his son's difficulties with math.

First the son will be assessed in order to analyse his academic level. Then goals will be set and a personalised learning plan will be made.

Each instructor has three students, not more, so a one-to-one approach is perfectly possible.
It's what his son needs.

At Score! the math tutors are available at times that are convenient for the child and the family, so no extra stress is added to the extra learning sessions or the family's schedule.

To be precise: no stress is added at all. It's taken away by giving the child positive feedback, by enabling it to solve mathproblems and feel it's confidence growing.

The real world examples in math develop the problem solving skills of the child, they offer a knowledge and insight in the basic rules of logical inference up to insight in difficult math theorems.

Father and son paid a visit at one of the Score! Education Centers and came back full of hope and motivation.

I'm sure his son will catch up with his group, so he can feel confident and relaxed in the classroom.

Go and have a look at the site for yourself, and don't forget to read about the summer camps.

Learning is fun again!
