[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid's teacher will have a list of MCPS math teachers from other schools who are available. That is who you ask first - because they will know the curriculum from the inside.

The problem with external tutors (i.e. those not working in other MCPS schools) is they may know the subject but not the methods being taught in the classroom and they may use very different approaches which ultimately don't help your child.[/quote]

PP with online tutor here. We have had MCPS teacher tutors previously (in person) and while one of them was great, the other two not so much. I think part of the issue for my DS at least was that MCPS approach to the subject did not make sense to him and a lot of times he struggled. Now they figure out the best way to make sense of the concept first and than back into how MCPS does it. The only inconvenience is that I have to download math curriculum and send it to tutor ahead of time and DS sends PDFs of what they are working on at the school. With MCPS teacher, they already have all that info. [/quote]
