[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not being snarky. What would a Math tutor do with an elementary aged child. I have a second grader who is ok at math, hovers a little above MCPS but lacks the fluency and ease he displays in other subject. He finds math exhausting. I've often wondered it a tutor for him( especially) since he isn't technically struggling, would add value[/quote]

Just trying to be helpful here.

If it was my child - I would first grab hold of a text book (not workbook!) and the curriculum. I would go through all the chapters in a systematic way trying to figure out where the gaps in knowledge are. I would go over concepts with him and make him practice enough problems that he understood the concepts. I would then move on the the 3rd grade textbook to see if he has really internalized those concepts and can build upon what he has learned from the 2nd grade.

I would also help him/her memorize multiplication tables and move on to long multiplications and divisions.

And if you do not have the time to do this with your child, a Math tutor could do that for you.[/quote]
