Why is my child having difficulty learning or not reaching his/her potential? How can MATH1on1 help?

Most children have difficulty learning because their academic skills are not at the level that they should be. Other children may have problems with concentration, confidence, behavior, motivation, or general test-taking skills.

MATH1on1's programs give your child the advantage of working with easier lessons (review) and those that are more challenging. The cross-aging of lessons gives the students a broad range of skill levels where confidence is gained and learning skills are developed. Regardless of why your child is having difficulty with learning, the MATH1on1 lessons are designed to help your child achieve academic success.

Benefits

What makes MATH1on1 so effective?

As infants, we are drawn to or repulsed by certain colors. We learn to communicate through color before our language skills are developed. In fact, color connects both the right and left hemispheres of the brain allowing both gestalt and analytic learners to interact and master specific tasks. There is a great deal of research that has captured how we interact with color, its impact on our decision making process and color's importance on our existence. Color, more than any of the other senses, draws on both symbolic and cognitive powers to affect learning.

What is the purpose of color coordination in your books?

Here are a few results of studies on color and human response.

Color coding:

  • using a repetition of colors may enhance memory Color may be used to give "cues" to the brain, about where to find information or an object in the classroom.
  • The deliberate use of color in publications or text can enhance the readability of the narrative. This is especially helpful in breaking text into smaller, more manageable pieces.

Color overlay:

  • 80% of dyslexic children had increased reading comprehension when a blue or gray overlay was placed on the page.
  • The use of black and white as a color scheme may lower IQ or make children more "dull".
  • The careful use of bold colors such as red or orange may increase IQ by as much as 12 points.
  • In general, cool hues such as blue, are relaxing. Blue windows and walls were often used to help soothe mental patients who are delirious.
  • Children start out liking yellow as infants but seem to grow less and less fond of it as they mature.
  • The international "ranking of color preference" is blue, red, green, violet, orange, yellow.
  • Though the international color ranking holds true (almost) across cultures, a few ethnic groups placed red or orange closer to the front, probably in response to ancient customs or practices involving color.
  • Color and light have medical, therapeutic implications, hence the use of phototherapy units of blue lights to treat newborns with jaundice, or the use of white light to treat patients with depression because of "winter blues".
  • According to Alschuler and Hattwick, "Small children have a natural preference for 'luminous' colors such as red, orange, yellow and pink."
  • Brown, black and gray are seldom chosen by children, except to outline. Excessive use of these colors has become an indicator of fear or defiance in their emotional lives.
  • Bold colors, such as orange, red and shades of lemony yellow demand attention.
  • Research shows that an occasional bold stroke of red or orange attracts the learner's attention to details.
  • Both red and orange are useful for alerting children to specific points of knowledge or new concepts.
  • Colors help children to express themselves.

What's the difference between MATH1on1 Online Tutoring and tutoring offered by my child's school?

Our innovative system gives your child far more structured guidance than he or she will ever receive in a classroom full of children, in a small group, or even in stand alone online programs.

Many schools provide after-school tutoring or intervention programs for students that are having difficulty in school. Even though these programs are free to families, current research indicates that these programs are inefficient, time-consuming, and most importantly will not provide you with a permanent solution. In fact, results of studies now indicate that more children in these intervention programs are further below the average level than ever before. This is a clear indication that school-based intervention programs are not working for most children. While school-based or small group tutoring may provide your child with short-term help with homework, MATH1on1 actually provides your child with a permanent solution and long-term skills that will last a lifetime.

While school-based or small group tutoring may provide your child with short-term help with homework, MATH1on1 actually provides your child with a permanent solution and long-term skills that will last a lifetime.

How will MATH1on1 help my child improve his/her concentration?

Children who are successful learners have excellent concentration and focus. Research indicates that these children can maintain their concentration for one hour or more, which gives them the ability to complete assignments quickly, efficiently and correctly.

MATH1on1's programs will help your child improve his or her concentration and attention span. MATH1on1 is designed to increase your child's concentration span when used appropriately.

Our program has 3 advantages for your child:

1.   Your child will learn in the privacy of your home without anyone knowing about it.

2.   Your child can repeat the exact same lesson over again as many times as he/she feels necessary without embarrassment.

3.   Our interactive exercises reinforce the math lessons and will help your child build his confidence in math.

Educational Guidelines

What will it take for my child to be a successful learner?

Educational studies consistently show that the most successful students are those that are strong in six general areas:

  • Strong Academic Skills
  • Strong Concentration
  • High level of Confidence
  • High level of Motivation
  • High Standardized Test Scores
  • Strong Study Skills

First and foremost, children who are successful learners have strong academic skills in reading, mathematics and writing. Strong academic skills are so important that MATH1on1 makes this their primary goal for your child to be successful in math. MATH1on1 will help your child improve in math, and we accomplish this with our online learning program. This method of leaning combines individual one-to-one online instruction with independent application and mastery of the skills just learned.

For academic success, how important is it to continue enrollment over the summer months?

Summer enrollment is by far the biggest factor in your child's overall success in our programs. Our research indicates that students who continue their sessions during the summer improve at a much faster rate than those who withdraw for summer vacation. In fact, the two summer months may amount to as much as 4 to 6 months of actual grade level improvement and much more retention in the fall.

We have compared students who stay and students who leave for the summer and have concluded that a leave of absence during the summer has a negative impact on your child's progress. Remember, if you need to take a break or a vacation, your child can access the lessons anywhere in the world.

How important is consistent participation?

We have analyzed our students' participation, and we see a direct link between regular participation and success in the MATH1on1 program and in achievements beyond our program. We understand that parents and children today are very busy. However, if your child has signed up for either MATH1on1 Program, regularly scheduled sessions must be a high priority. If students are continually changing their learning times, they will not develop the structure necessary for academic improvement. Our greatest success comes from students who have a regular time to study each day and keep track of their learning schedule over a long period of time.
