[b]How does the tutor-of-the-day know what your child needs to work on? I want my child to be well prepared for tests at school... but how does the mathnasium process keep your child in-line with what is being covered and tested at school?[/b]

Each kid gets a binder that has their personalized curriculum on it. 
Our director lays out the work for the kid many sessions ahead so when my kid comes in, she picks up her binder. The tutor of the day will pick up where the last session left off. 
When the director is not there, sometimes the tutor of the day debrief me on my child's session.  It is helpful to hear multiple sources of feedback. 
The director does sometimes pair up my kid with certain teachers that are able to work better with her.

The FCPS curriculum is on the website. 
Mathnasium follows the school curriculum but that wasn't always the case. 
Initially, they had to do so much work on my kid to get her math skills caught up. Then for a while, they started to work ahead. 
For Algebra 1, I discussed with the director that I just need them to help her with her homework and prepare for tests. The goal right now is just to not get behind.
