Below are some areas that our math tutors can help the students in:
Further explanation or clarification of concepts from school
Go through practice questions with students to ensure the concepts are well understood and the student can do it on his/her own when the tutor isn’t there
Proof reading, Essay correction - sentence structure, style
This is a popular approach if the student is keen on getting higher marks in school. The idea is to learn the material before the teacher at school talks about it so that when the concepts are brought up again in class, the student will understand it very well since he/she is looking at it the second time - The student will need to have an outline of the course and knows which chapter will be taught next. Sometimes this will require the help of the parent to reach out to the teacher if this information is not readily available.
3. French reading, writing, speaking and listen. The tutor is fluent in French and will practice all skills with the student during the tutoring session
