Supplementing upper elementary and middle school math?

Have experience with RSM. DC is asking about Mathnasium instead. Anyone who has experience with both? How do they compare?

RSM is enrichment. Mathnasium is remedial. If your kids is far ahead compared to peers consider RSM. If they are at or below, consider Mathnasium.

We prefer in-person tutoring. Willing to offer as high as $50/hour. Any good recommendations?

OP, ask your DC why they don't want to do RSM any more. Maybe the center is assigning too much work? Even smart kids get burn out. A regular tutoring center will also assign a lot, but if it's not challenging at all, your DC will like it even less than RSM. The answer might be less tutoring, not more.

I'm confused. Are you wanting a group setting or individual tutoring?

For middle school math and higher, $50/hour is quite low if you are wanting one-to-one tutoring. $50/hour was the going rate about 10+ years ago, but one-to-one tutoring now requires a higher rate.

DP, what is the current rate for middle school tutor that provides lessons on zoom or in person, individual.

For lower elementary, Mathnasium is a fine choice to teach the basics, but for upper I'd personally go with AoPS or RSM.

Mathnasium is worksheet after worksheet. Very boring.

In person tutoring is best. Luckily my spouse is a math wiz and takes care of this.

Who said it wasn't? I remember many challenging worksheets fondly. It helps master concepts that are glossed over in these other programs.
