MATH TUTORING

The Math Program at Tutoring 4 Less offers high-quality math tutoring for families on a budget. Math tutoring can provide a variety of benefits to your student regardless of where they are in their education process. Math can be more difficult for some students to understand. However, tutors at Tutoring 4 Less make sure to help students learn and analyze concepts taught at school in a way that they can easily understand. Our tutors begin by laying down the foundations of math concepts and strengthening the student’s basic computational skills to allow them to successfully transition between courses. Our students show measurable progress, going up by at least one grade level after working with our tutors.

Math tutoring for elementary-aged students can offer numerous benefits that extend beyond just improving their mathematical skills and improving grades. Here are some of the additional benefits of math tutoring for this age group:

• Building Strong Foundation: Elementary math concepts form the basis for more advanced math topics. Tutoring can ensure that students grasp fundamental concepts thoroughly, setting them up for success in later grades.
• Increased Confidence: As students gain a better understanding of math concepts and improve their skills, their confidence in their mathematical abilities grows. This increased confidence can extend to other areas of their academic and personal lives.
• Preventing Learning Gaps: Tutors can identify and address any learning gaps or misconceptions early on, preventing them from snowballing into bigger problems later in the student’s academic journey.
• Individualized Attention: In a tutoring setting, students receive one-on-one attention from the tutor, allowing them to focus on their specific needs and learning pace.

Whether your child is struggling to keep up with their peers, aiming to excel beyond the curriculum, or simply seeking additional enrichment, math tutoring can provide the tailored support they need to thrive.

What makes us the best math tutors for Los Angeles students?

• Recognizing and comparing common fractions (e.g., halves, quarters) and decimals.

Measurement: Understanding the concept of measurement and units:

• Length, weight, volume, and time measurements.
• Understanding units of measurement (e.g., inches, centimeters, grams, liters, minutes, hours).

Geometry: Introduction to basic shapes and spatial reasoning:

• Recognizing and naming shapes (e.g., squares, rectangles, circles, triangles).
• Understanding properties of shapes (e.g., number of sides, angles).
• Introduction to basic geometric concepts such as symmetry and congruence.

Data Analysis and Probability: Basic understanding of collecting, organizing, and interpreting data:

• Reading and creating simple graphs (e.g., bar graphs, pictographs).
• Understanding basic concepts of probability (e.g., likelihood of events).

Patterns and Algebra: Introduction to patterns and simple algebraic thinking:

• Recognizing and extending number patterns.
• Introduction to variables and expressions (e.g., 2 + x = 7).

Problem-Solving: Developing problem-solving skills using mathematical reasoning and strategies:

• Analyzing and solving word problems.
• Applying mathematical concepts to real-life situations.

Our experienced math tutors will work with each student in a one on one or small group setting to ensure success in the specific area of need. Because we understand that every student learns differently, we reinforce each student’s inherent reasoning skills to help them transition between the math courses. We understand that because of the Common Core standards more and more students are struggling to understand the new learning styles and concepts. We work closely with teachers, parents, and the tutored students themselves to develop the best learning plan to meet each student’s needs and help them succeed and grow as math students.
