A solid foundation allows your child to approach new challenges more comfortably and tackle new concepts with ease.
Problem-solving — With a strong foundation, your child will be able to tap on past knowledge and logical thinking skills to find solutions.
“The illiterates of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but, rather those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn”.
-Alvin Toffler
A solid foundation in mathematics and science develops and hones the skills of posing hypotheses, designing experiments and controls, analyzing data, recognizing patterns, seeking evidence, conclusions and proof, solving problems and seeking absolutes, while being open to new information.
Studying mathematics not only will develop more engineers and scientists, but also produce more citizens who can learn and think creatively and critically, no matter their career fields. The workforce of tomorrow, in all fields, will demand it.
It is incredibly important that students have a strong understanding of the concepts they learn in one year in order to meet the challenges of the next year. So, when a student needs help with math, one of my top priorities as a tutor is making sure they have a strong foundation of basic math skills.
