Math Tutoring That Works  by: Joan Geyer Kaliher Is it the math tutor’s knowledge that makes their tutoring work for your child, or are there other factors that are critical too? Well, knowledge of math concepts is certainly important in order for a tutor to be effective. But, equally important is the ability of the tutor to personally relate to and communicate with your child. The tutor must have a good personal relationship with their students, and mutual respect, in order to accurately determine the student’s learning style, their learning abilities, their attitudes toward learning, and whether or not there are psychological factors that may be affecting their learning. Is the student a visual learner or an auditory learner? Is the student a fast learner or do they need repeat visits to a concept or the reading material? Do they enjoy learning new things or is it just a chore for them? Are there emotional or psychological factors going on in the student’s life that may be making it more difficult to study, focus, and learn? How much does the student know already about the subject they need tutoring in? If a tutor is working with your child for the long term, they should be trying to evaluate these factors as much as possible. You can find a tutor with a PHD in math, but if they can’t relate well to your child, their tutoring will not give you what you are looking for and what what it should be. A tutor that is able to relate to and communicate with your child can dig a little deeper than one who is just smart in math. They can find out many of the answers to the above questions and their tutoring becomes much more effective.
