The Know It All Tutors math tutoring program is one of a kind.  Understanding mathematics opens a world of possibilities for students.  Mathematical principles are used in the sciences and the arts; in painting, music and architecture.  Our math tutors empower your child to build a solid foundation in mathematics. Whether it’s preparing for a standardized test, boosting test scores or reinforcing specific areas of math, Know It All Tutors can help your student achieve optimal results.

Our approach to math instruction is simple: we direct our focus and customize our programs to your student’s needs, whether that is assistance with elementary level or advanced mathematics.  The program begins by communicating with you and your child to better understand his or her individual strengths and weaknesses, and what we need to do to help them achieve their goals. This highly personalized approach helps us reinforce any areas of math your child may be struggling with without wasting time on areas already mastered.

At Know It All Tutors, we work side-by-side with students from fourth grade through the university level to remove their roadblocks and help them achieve their goals. We offer tutoring in the following areas:

• Basic Math
• Algebra 1 & 2
• Geometry
• Trigonometry /Math Anylysis
• Calculus

Although we cater to a wide range of age groups, we find we often have the biggest impact with middle and high school students.  Helping them develop a solid foundation in mathematics can improve their standardized test skills and test scores and potentially expedite entry into their university of choice.

Below is a general overview of the math subjects in which we can help your student excel.

Pre-Algebra Tutoring

It is our experience that Pre-Algebra is the best place to begin, even if you don’t think that you or your child is falling behind.  Pre-Algebra is the foundation of the mathematics students will experience through his or her academic career.  Know It All Tutors’ math tutors are experts at building that very foundation.  Since all other levels of math build upon the concepts developed in Pre-Algebra, it is the most important coursework for your student to master.  Students who do not grasp these concepts are not equipped with the tools needed to find success in other math subjects.

Students need to be proficient in the following Pre-Algebra concepts:

• Mixed numbers
• Fractions
• Percentages
• Proportions
• Number sense
• Word problems
• Problem solving
• Understanding what a question is asking
• Math vocabulary

Algebra Tutoring

Algebra helps your child apply real world situations to math equations; it’s where students see the power of problem solving.

When tutoring students in Algebra, we work to foster a deeper understanding of numbers.  Together with problem-solving in real-world situations, working in collaboration with other students, lateral thinking, and emphasis on linear equations, our math tutors explain algebraic terms in a way that your child will most readily understand.  Our goal is that your student be able to comprehend the steps to solve any algebraic equation or problem.

Geometry Tutoring

Geometry is difficult for many students because there aren’t as many numbers involved, and some students just don’t “get it.” Like the arts, Geometry is an extremely visual class. This visual connection is what can prevent a student who has done well in Pre-Algebra and Algebra from doing as well as they expected in Geometry, which can be frustrating.

By helping your student connect the math with its visual application, he, or she will have a better grasp of theorems and postulates, and solving proofs.  From simple to complex geometric equations, our math tutors help your student become a Geometry Know It All.

Algebra 2 Tutoring

We like to think of Algebra 2 as the business side of math. It is more complicated than both Algebra and Geometry, but involves the principles of both.

Some kids say it’s just plain HARD because there are too many problems to solve.  By breaking Algebra 2 down into smaller, digestible topics, our math tutors make Algebra 2 more accessible to our students.

Some of the key concepts we help our students understand, include:

• Systems of equations
• Solving for multiple variables
• Conic sections
• Exponents
• Graphing
• Word problems

Trigonometry and Math Analysis Tutoring

How many times have you heard your Trigonometry student say, “Mom, I can’t remember all this!” Apart from all the memorization required, students also complain that Trigonometry and Math Analysis are complex, dry and boring.  These frustrations, which often translate into poor test performance, usually occur because the student doesn’t see the beauty of the math yet.  By applying Trigonometry and Math Analysis theories in a meaningful way that they will remember forever, your student will not only score better on this year’s test, but will also have a solid foundation for Calculus and beyond.

Calculus Tutoring

Calculus sounds scarier than it is. “Overwhelming” is a word we often heard from our Calculus students, usually because they have fallen behind or are having trouble connecting the concepts.

Calculus brings physical science concepts to life in a purely mathematical way, which can be difficult for students to understand at first.  Once your student “gets it” – and we will help him, or her do that – they will be able to apply the math better than they ever thought possible.
