Students need to take a Diagnostic Test that I designed based on basic concepts needed for each level. Through the test I recognize their weaknesses, together with their misconceptions, which allows me to suggest, or tailor, appropriate corrective action for their individual needs.

Explain to them the necessity of math in life with examples. Also, math is critical to achieving success at the college level. Moreover, students need a good teacher that they can trust, and it goes from there. I mean a dedicated, competent teacher.  Similarly, if you are sick, you need a good physician to accurately diagnose the complaint and prescribe a cure. Confidence is coming from true knowledge. If students understand math the way it is supposed to be understood, they will love it. They need to walk before they can run. That instills confidence in all that we do.

We offer Math levels from 5th grade to 12th grade. We specialize in Math. We are formed by a group of dedicated Math teachers, experienced in teaching math either at colleges or high schools

The setup is similar to college.  Maximum class size of each class is 18 students. Students are taught by teachers with mathematics degrees. The program is eight weeks long, a total of 40 hours.

They all obtained Masters Degrees in mathematics and have current experience teaching at college or high school level.

Think, think, and more think. I would by lying if I said there is a magic shortcut to learning math. The only "magic" is the willingness of students and dedication of experienced teachers. I mean, highly competent teachers. Good teachers make big differences. Studying math without thinking is like eating without chewing; soon, you will get a stomach ache.

At 7th grade, students are introduced to pre-algebra, a transition from arithmetic to algebra, which is a beginning level of abstract math. If they get good grades in pre-algebra, the next two levels are achievable.

Al 10th grade, students take Algebra 2, a level for perfecting all algebra skills. It requires a lot of concentration, but unfortunately, it is also the phase when students are exposed to too many extra curricular activities, and are experiencing the typical teenage crisis period.  Students normally don’t do well in math at this level, and the consequence is too high to pay. The SAT test is follows not long after and the study of pre-calculus and calculus often results in failure. This lowers their self-esteem and reduces confidence in pursuing college level courses.
 

To me, children should start in 6th grade, paying special attention to their progress in 7th grade.
If they don’t achieve a grade of A or B at 6th and 7th grades, subsequent years of math study become burdensome and the chance of being successful becomes unrealistic.

They are hurry in finishing their homework with the help of parents or a tutoring center, and by the time they take a test or require thinking, they blank out. Nothing is in their mind to start with. Let them learn to think in math and grow out of it, instead of someone else doing the work for them.
Math is a thinking process and an evolving process of logical thinking while studying operations and numbers.

Pay special attention to definitions and question the concepts behind any new terminology. Start to do exercises only when you think you are ready. Carefully read examples in each chapter. Read with a pen, not with an i-Pod.

Study with a master, not a technician.

Not a lot.  For an A student:  Every hour of math at school = 3 hours of math at home.
For a B student: Ratio is 1:2.  For a C student:  Ratio1:1.

Good investment = Good pay off, normally.

Call 7-448-7407 to set up a date for a Diagnostic Test. After the test, the student, along with the test results, will be directed to me, Duc Le, for further interview. From the interview I will tailor a suggested course of study for the student.

Yes, if there is a class available for the same level. But, it is allowed only within the same month.

From 5th to 7th grade, the program covers about 80-90% of the curriculum, including all good basics.

From 8th to 12th grade, the program covers 70-80% of the curriculum, including all good basics.
