Nashville Math Tutoring FAQ
If you or your student would like to get some extra help while studying mathematics, Varsity Tutors can connect you with the best Nashville math tutors in your area. Classroom environments don't always allow teachers to spend a lot of time with individual students, so if your student is struggling or falling behind it can be tough for them to get the help they need. Fortunately, Nashville math tutors are dedicated experts who can present math to your student in a variety of ways, giving them a new perspective on the discipline and making math easier to understand. Students can approach their mentor with questions, get help with homework, and more.
How does Nashville math tutoring differ from classroom instruction?
Nashville math tutors can work with your or your student one-on-one and can create a personalized curriculum just for you. Compare this to a typical classroom, where students have to comply with a regimented educational system. The structure of group learning environments requires teachers to adopt teaching techniques that aim to reach as broad a range of students as possible, even if this is sometimes to the detriment of individual learners. If your student is struggling to learn concepts like mixed digit multiplication, coordinate graphing, or probability, it may be that their teacher is using instructional methods that your student doesn't respond to. Additionally, teachers have to stick to a set class schedule, which can result in your student being forced to move on to new topics before they've entirely absorbed the material they're currently working on. Math is a cumulative subject, meaning that each new mathematical concept builds on existing knowledge, so if your student is having difficulty keeping up with their teacher's pace, their struggles can compound as time wears on.
Nashville math tutoring can provide an alternative. Private instructors can talk to you or your student about what math concepts are proving difficult to master and put together a study plan based around your student's individual needs. This can make for a more streamlined and efficient use of your student's valuable study time. If your student has no problem with skills like the order of operations, graphing, and probability, for example, but has trouble converting sentences to mathematical statements or solving word problems, their instructor can take that into account and allocate time accordingly. Moving through topics that come naturally to your student at a rapid pace can free up more time to look over the subjects that they're having a hard time with in greater depth. There's no reason for your student to waste time studying material that they already understand, as that time could be better spent elsewhere.
Nashville math tutors can cater to your student's learning preferences, too. Just about everyone finds particular teaching methods to be more effective than others, and whether your student is an aural, visual, or kinesthetic learner, their mentor can put together lessons that are designed with them in mind. If you have an elementary school-aged student who has trouble with division and fractions, for example, they might benefit from hands-on kinesthetic learning. Tutors can ask them to solve problems using physically divisible objects so they can experience math in a real-world context. Or, perhaps you're a high schooler who prefers visual instruction. In that case, your instructor could use flashcards to help you memorize algebra and calculus formulas, and present geometry problems using illustrations. Nashville math tutoring is flexible, so tutors can incorporate whatever techniques you or your student respond to best.
What are some of the advantages of working with Nashville math tutors near me?
The personalized lesson plan that Nashville math tutors can provide you or your student with is just the beginning. Private instructors can offer support in a wide variety of ways, from assisting your student with their homework to looking over quizzes with them to explain any mistakes they've made and teach them how to learn from the experience. Tutors can offer direct feedback, which can be helpful when learning an abstract subject like mathematics. When students receive corrected homework or tests from their teacher, they don't always get enough of an explanation of where they've gone wrong. This can make math feel confusing, frustrating, and arbitrary. Nashville math tutors can go over problems one step at a time, so your student can come to see how the mathematical concepts they're studying actually work. Whether your student is learning about combining like terms; mean, median, and mode; or algebra, math can be much more engaging and interesting when your student understands the underlying functions of math rather than seeing the subject as just a list of formulas to memorize.
Nashville math tutoring gives students the opportunity to form a personal connection with their instructor, which can be helpful in several ways. Students can feel embarrassed when they don't comprehend the material that they're studying, and this can make it tough for them to reach out for help. Making mistakes is an important part of the learning process no matter what subject students are trying to learn, and if your student is more concerned about covering up their misunderstandings than trying to resolve them it can be difficult for them to improve their skills. By getting to know your student as an individual, private instructors can create a safe, friendly learning environment for your student where they feel comfortable admitting when they don't understand concepts. Once your student has learned to address their challenges head-on, they can become more confident and develop a more positive attitude about school.
If you're a high school or college student looking for advanced instruction, we can put you in touch with Nashville math tutors who have the experience and mathematical background required to teach you about differential equations, limits, parametric equations, complex variables, and much more. Understanding higher math is one thing; being able to explain it in an easy-to-grasp, accessible way is quite another. However, you can rest assured that we can connect you with an instructor who can present these concepts from a variety of viewpoints, so you can get the instruction that you're looking for.
How can I fit Nashville math tutoring into my busy schedule?
We know that many students have academic, extracurricular, and personal commitments that can make it tough to fit tutoring into their day. However, we can locate Nashville math tutors that can meet your student at a time that works for them, even if they have limited availability. Instruction is offered either online or in person, so you'll have some options open to you when enrolling. Online lessons are provided thanks to our Live Learning Platform, a set of online tools that can make accessing instruction easy and convenient. Video chat software allows your student to work with their mentor face-to-face without the need for a time-consuming commute. They can study somewhere where they feel comfortable, free of distractions, and ready to learn, whether that's a cafe in the neighborhood, your own home, or a library like the Nashville Public Library's Edmondson Pike Branch or the Main Library.
The Live Learning Platform also includes a variety of learning utilities that can facilities your student's lessons. Instructors can employ a shared document editor, a virtual whiteboard, and other built-in tools while working with you or your student. They can sketch geometry problems, write out sample equations, and graph quadratics just as they would if they were to meet your student in the flesh. As a bonus, the platform records all lessons, so your student can return to a previous study session to take another look at concepts they've already covered.
