[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading this thread makes me far happier that we choose RSM for our child. It is less expensive then tutoring for a lot more hours and it has kept DS challenged in math.

The program offers free homework help, 30 minutes a week, if a child needs some extra help understanding a concept or help with homework. So your tuition covers 1 1/2 hours worth of time.  It’s not one on one but the classes are the material is layered on top of what the kids are doing at school, unless you are in honors then the material is ahead of what they are doing in school.[/quote]

Okay.

Not every child's needs are the same, so math is not always the primary need.

I have one child for whom math has always come extraordinarily easy, but writing is more of a challenge. I have tried working with her on her writing, for I have a degree in English, but she needs someone who knows how to teach, not just someone who knows how to write well herself. The tutor she worked with cost us $120/hour, but she taught our daughter how to write and how to use her unique voice I her communication. Worth it.

I have another child who didn't require tutoring until she took Calculus BC, and then MV Calculus, Any run-of-the-mill math tutor wasn't enough for her needs, and we thankfully found a tutor who was able to identify the very specific way my child learns. The tutor was $125/hour and was worth every penny because my daughter's self-esteem was restored. [/quote]
