I have spent literally THOUSANDS in tutoring. That is above and beyond the private school tuition or the free tutoring programs provided by the local school district.

What we have found is that my children do not do well with the local school district’s math program called “Everyday Math”. It is an attempt to teach multiple techniques of multiplication and division and do not work on the basic math drills.

Using tutors to drill our children has shown the most progress over the last two years. This is one of the primary reasons I do not want to return them to public school ... I know the math program and I know the damage it will do to their math ability.

Understand that I was a student math tutor in college so I’m very pro tutor.
