How Our 2nd Grade Math Tutoring Works

Free diagnostic assessment

To understand your child’s strengths and weaknesses, we start with a free, student-friendly test. This way, we identify gaps in addition and subtraction within 100, place value understanding, and math word problems for kids. Test results help us build a personalized learning plan.

Personalized learning plan

Besides the test results, we consider your child’s grade, level, and goals. While the teaching is personalized, each learning plan covers core curriculum topics, including counting and number sense, regrouping math problems, and measuring length and time. Before moving on to the next topics, tutors make sure everything is clear for the student. Everything is aligned with Common Core for Math Grade 2.

1:1 live online lessons

During live online lessons, tutors use visual math learning tools, such as collaborative whiteboards. Teaching is interactive, which means it’s easier for students to focus. The 1:1 nature of classes eliminates group distractions.
