My Math Tutor

About the Book

Have you ever seen a supplementary textbook product that can assist the student, the parent, and the teacher? This is a supplemental text for any math textbook from first through eighth grades. It’s titled My Math Tutor.

There are currently many good products, but the truth is, they fall short. This is the missing link that exists in today’s math textbooks. My Math Tutor is a compilation of methods that have been proven successful by so called underachieving, at-risk, RSP, and honor students. These methods not only raised their class grade but literally increased their understanding of the concept itself. Ergo, also raising standardized test scores. My Math Tutor was written based on the notes for students that were used and developed over a period of thirty-three years. This is ideas, shortcuts, and math vocabulary successfully used over the years. Also, this book shows how to deliver it in the best possible way for the learner to understand and acquire the skill. My Math Tutor is written in a format that is great for home schooling as well.
