Math-U-See
One of the many tools that we use is the “Math-U-See” program. The “Math-U-See” program is a small group or 1:1 setting. Using manipulatives, we build understanding, not memorization.
Our math placement assessment is free of charge and provides necessary information regarding skills which need to be taught to improve your student’s overall mathematical abilities. From serving as a full math class for our homeschool students, to providing a little homework help, our math instructors will provide a personalized program for your child in a 1:1 setting.
Some of the options for math services we offer:
1) Homework help in your student’s current course
2) Multi-sensory instruction for their current course (present the material from a different perspective)
3) Administer a placement test and work on attacking any “gaps” in their math foundation
Options two and three could allow for your child to become “caught up” in their current course with the goal to introduce material prior to the classroom presenting it. This can promote confidence in math and increased self-esteem in their academics.

Her spelling score went from a 77 to a 99! She was at an early first grade reading level last year and is now testing at mid third grade! We are so thankful for sweet Miss Lori and all she’s done for us!"
