At The Learning Lab, we know math can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
With the right approach, tools, and support, every student can gain confidence and master
essential math concepts. That’s why we’ve designed our tutoring programs to focus on
individualized attention and hands-on strategies that make math come alive for students.
By Using A Personal Approach to Learning
No two students are alike, so we tailor our tutoring to meet each child’s unique needs and
learning gaps. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of how each student learns
best. We use a variety of methods to determine each student’s learning preferences, including:
- Observation: During initial sessions, tutors note how the students interact with the
material, whether they respond better to visual aids, hands-on activities, or verbal
explanations. - Diagnostic Activities: Short exercises and problem-solving tasks help uncover specific
strengths, gaps, and preferred engagement methods. - Student Feedback: We involve students in the conversation, asking what they find
helpful or challenging to create a customized plan.
Once we understand a student’s learning needs, we develop a plan incorporating tailored
strategies, pacing, and resources to make math concepts click.
Whether students need to reinforce foundational skills or develop advanced strategies, our
tutors take the time to understand their strengths and areas for improvement. Creating a
supportive and encouraging environment empowers students to tackle challenges with
confidence and curiosity.
Introducing Multi-Sensory Learning with TouchMath©
For our younger learners, we use the TouchMath© program, a proven multi-sensory approach
designed for pre-K through 3rd-grade students. By engaging auditory, visual, and tactile
learning methods, TouchMath© makes abstract concepts concrete. Students don’t just learn to
calculate; they experience math in a hands-on way that helps them truly understand numbers
and their relationships.
TouchMath© is particularly effective for children who benefit from interactive, engaging lessons.
Through techniques like counting with touchpoints, visual cues, and guided practice, students
gain clarity and confidence in foundational math skills like addition, subtraction, and early
multiplication.
Involving Parents in the Learning Process
Parents play a critical role in a child’s academic journey. At The Learning Lab, we foster strong
communication and collaboration between tutors and parents to ensure the best outcomes for
students.
- Regular Progress Updates: Tutors provide consistent updates to keep parents
informed about their child’s achievements and areas of focus. - Goal-Setting Sessions: We work with families to set realistic, achievable goals that
align with each student’s needs and aspirations. - Practical Tips: Parents receive actionable advice for supporting their child’s learning at
home, including strategies to reinforce math concepts in everyday situations.
By working together, we create a support system that empowers students to thrive in math and
beyond.
Building a Marathon Mentality
At The Learning Lab, we teach students to adopt a marathon mentality, focused, determined,
and ready to build skills over time.
By celebrating progress at every step, our tutors help students stay motivated and engaged,
even when the problems get more complex. This mindset doesn’t just help in math; it fosters
resilience and problem-solving skills that apply across all areas of learning and life.
