[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Upper grade kid: very inconsistent math program. My DC had huge gaps that seemed to be passed along that caught up with her this year. Some kids are fine, but we relied on just what the school taught. I had a hunch because she just wasn't working on the same things I did at that age, but hey I'm not a teacher so what do I know about math teaching sequences-- especially with the common core and all that. Unfortunately, that was wrong. 
Once we figured out the problem and how deep the deficits were we got a tutor. Three months of intense work and she is now on track. Here is an example to help you: they never taught times tables when it typically happens so the teacher the following year assumed it had been done and moved on to things like area and perimeter, long division, etc. like they knew them. It was not just my daughter either. Some kids had learned them along the way but the ones who didn't pick them up on their own were at a deficit. [/quote]

Can anyone give some suggestions on where to find a great math tutor for elementary age children or post a referral here? I am at a different HRCs and would like to supplement. [/quote]
