Math Tutoring

At Axios we believe that there is no such thing as a “math person,” but rather everyone has the capacity to learn and understand math. To ensure instruction is delivered in a stress-free learning environment,  students and tutors are carefully matched.  We expose students to a variety of learning styles in order to address every type of learner. 

With experienced Axios math tutors students can expect to

  • Use visualization to see a problem and its solution.

  • Learn how to chunk a problem into smaller pieces.

  • Practice solving similar problems to gain confidence.

Visualization:   We teach visual learners how to “see a problem”  in order to build understanding. Students practice talking through a problem in their own heads or drawing a representation of the problem. 

Chunking:  We model how to break down a problem into smaller steps.  For auditory learners, hearing the explanation facilitates comprehension. Unlike the classroom, with 1:1 tutoring, students can listen to an explanation over and over until they are able to construct meaning on their own.

Practice:  We provide numerous opportunities for practice with guidance from our tutors which helps tactile learners  to become more comfortable and gain confidence with math. Not only does this help students in school, but also research shows that time spent preparing for SAT and ACT tests translates to better scores

Essentials of Algebra

Bridge the Gap Between Algebra I and Algebra II – with a Preview of the SAT.

A focused refresher that reinforces foundational algebra skills while introducing key concepts from Algebra II. This course provides a smooth transition back into math class and builds confidence ahead of more advanced material.

Students will revisit essential algebraic topics and get an early look at Algebra II concepts, all while practicing with SAT-style questions. While this is not a test prep course, the inclusion of SAT question formats helps students strengthen their problem-solving skills and begin to understand the style and structure of standardized testing.

Available as private tutoring over the summer or during the school year.

I am not a Math person - True/ False?

Just like we have the capacity to learn to read and write, everyone has the capacity to learn and understand Math. Like any other skill, it needs practice and patience. Above all, understanding how you process it cognitively goes a long way in building confidence and success:

·       For strong visual learners, seeing a problem and its solution builds understanding.

·       For auditory learners, they may need to hear the explanation in order to comprehend it.

·       For tactical learners, solving numerous similar math problems can help them to become more comfortable and confident.
