[quote=Anonymous]We finally got a math tutor after a year of dad playing the role of tutor, unsuccessfully. I told DS a while back we are going to find him a tutor, which he welcomed. Anything is better than dad according to DS. As much as he loves dad, he tends to be over the top, overly strict. When the time came, DS was upset at first saying he doesn't need a tutor and why are you ruining my life. etc. etc. Tutor rang the doorbell, I answered, chit chatted a bit, and DS pouted and came to the dining room table. I was amazed how the tutor immediately got to work after a very brief intro. Then in the middle of the first session, the tutor got him to warm up, praised him for some of his work, asked if he liked math, the teacher, school etc.. So relieved we are doing this. The tension from math anxiety is gone. This tutor is a great communicator, and so far, DS is fully invested in the process. [/quote]
