Many people dread math because they haven’t been taught it in a way that makes sense to them. I will work with you and your learner to find what works best for them. To do this, I will teach your learner many strategies and allow them to choose what works best for them. I often tell my learners that the strategy isn’t the important part. They can use any way that works for them as long as it allows them to consistently get the correct answer.
