I recommend one on one tutoring for any student who is getting below a C in a math course. In a one on one situation, all the focus is on the student as an individual as opposed to splitting the time among other students who may have different questions. In the one on one environment, a tutor has the opportunity to identify the areas of weakness for the student whether it be test taking strategies, homework issues, or certain concepts that are not clicking. In addition, when the student is not understanding something, the tutor has enough time to focus on different methods of teaching to find the one that works for the student as an individual. Feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss your tutoring options! Melissa Haueter    Expanding Abilities Tutoring Director    310-720-1883

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
