Math Tutoring: Making Math Accessible
RITES math tutoring can help transform math from being “problematic” into a source of pride and lifelong math successes. Math issues can range from not having a strong number sense, to not understanding what is being asked, to struggling with the individual aspects of a specific math course. Wherever your student is having trouble, your RITES math specialist provides concrete tools and strategies to conquer math fears and become a stronger math student.
Multisensory Teaching
RITES math teachers incorporate a variety of scientifically researched and proven multisensory teaching approaches into their lessons to make sure your child is engaging his or her whole brain for active and effective learning to improve math skills. Give your student a strong foundation in mathematical concepts with RITES age- and grade-specific content to give your student the confidence to take on math throughout his or her life.
Common Core Standards
RITES math tutoring programs adhere to Common Core standards. Our math tutoring provides hands-on exploration of Common Core math concepts. The Common Core requires a greater focus on specific math topics. Rather than racing to cover many topics, the standards ask math teachers to significantly narrow and deepen knowledge of specific concepts. This means focusing on specific topics for each grade.
Whether in elementary, middle school or at the high school and college level, our math tutoring is the key to better grades in math.
