The tutoring alternative that makes math stick in your brain
Math For Keeps is an alternative to math tutoring. It is a practicing program that ensures that skills are “sticking”– that you have them in the bag for next week AND for next year. When you need them, the skills are there – you don’t have to stop half-way through a math problem, disrupt your flow, and spend time re-learning them. They stuck in the first place. Results are both fast and lasting; this is how math should be taught.
Every student has a Math Number- the number representation of the skills they have MASTERY of.
Every class has a Math Number associated with it that will ENSURE a successful experience in that class.
It is very common for a student to eventually end up in a math class in which it is impossible for them to have a successful experience, NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRY, simply because they haven’t MASTERED the foundational skills required to support the new skills they’re being expected to learn.
While it is practically impossible to thrive in a math class when you don’t have the Math Number associated with guaranteed success in that class, it IS entirely possible to get your Math Number higher.
Math For Keeps is the GUARANTEED program for PRACTICING math in a way that gets your Math Number higher.
Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
10 years, but we have been honing our tutoring skills and the method for 20 years.
What is your primary product or service?
We offer individual, customized math tutoring - and for people who want to get serious about math, our Math for Keeps program uses scientifically proven methods for changing the way you learn for a lifetime of knowledge.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are not conventional tutors. Often, when people are shopping for math tutoring, they might find more of a “homework helper”. This can be helpful in some instances. However, it is easy for a homework helper to inadvertently become a crutch for the student and might actually hinder students’ efforts toward independence and confidence in the subject.
That’s where WE come in.
We’ll be like your personal coach, gently but firmly encouraging the excelling math student in you to come on out– it’s in there, we promise! We don’t just sit by until you’re stuck and then hold your hand through the problem. We observe where you’re stuck, identify the *reasons* you’re stuck, and customize each and every lesson to ensure that these blocks are smoothed out the next time they come up in a problem. We like to call it a customized skill-building program … Taylor-Made! But that’s a mouthful. You can call it tutoring.
