Does Your Child Need Help With His Homework?
Are you struggling nightly with your child as he is trying to complete his homework? Do you need help motivating him to get the job done? A private tutor can help. Many times a person outside of the family can be just what a child needs in order to get down to business. Many tutors have years of experience working with students to motivate and inspire them to approach homework with a positive attitude. Children build relationships with their tutors that can influence the way that they see subjects that they once despised. I have worked as a private mathematics tutor for over 7 years and have seen the light go on in many students eyes. On several occasions, I tutored students with math phobias. After working together, many will say that math is their favorite subject. Expanding Abilities Tutoring offers one on one tutoring in the comfort of your own home. Our tutors are experienced in working with families throughout the South Bay of Los Angeles. Please call for more information on how to stop the nightly homework struggle. I will be happy to offer my advice and/or recommend a tutor!-Melissa Haueter

What are the Math Olympiads?
The Math Olympiads were created in 1977 by Dr. George Lenchner, well-known math educator. Students all over the world participate in the Olympiads. Teams are set up with 35 students or less at your elementary or middle school. From November to March of each year, there are 5 contests per month. Contests are set up for students in grade 4 through 6 and 7 through 8. These contests provide students with an incentive to study math. The challenging practice and contest problems require critical thinking and analysis. Students apply skills they learn in the classroom and solve problems they have never seen before.

How to get the most out of tutoring
Be physically and mentally prepared for your tutoring session. Make mistakes so we can learn from them! It is through trial and error that we make progress. Tell your tutor when you don’t understand something and ask questions regularly. We ask you to be patient with us as we try different methods and discover what works best for you. We expect you to put in as much time and effort outside of tutoring as is required to meet your goals. Practice what we recommend.
