[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't just get a neighborhood tutor, take her to a place like mathnasium where they can do an evaluation of her math skills. Do the evaluation before you proceed with tutoring. [/quote]

Also wanted to that mathnasium will do both a written and a verbal evaluation.  Takes about 45 minutes. Their written evaluation will tell you exactly what areas she is having trouble with. We knew our dd wasn't doing well in math, and the diagnostics we got at mathnasium helped us to focus on key areas. Some of our assumptions on where she was struggling was not correct. They did a customized plan that addressed her key issues and helped her have a better foundation. Our dd was also using her hands to multiply. Mathnasium helped her visualize and understand concepts.

We did have a neighborhood tutor for a few sessions. While it helped her get throuh the next test, it didn't really help in the long run. It was like putting a band aid rather than treating the issue.
