  • Elementary school math, including: addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, problem solving and decimals
  • Middle and junior high school math, including: algebra, problem solving, integers, geometry, and probability and statistics
  • High school math, including: algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and senior and integrated math

Math is the most building-block subject in school. Yet 30% of Grade 7 students (B.C. Foundation Skills Assessment results) do not meet the math expectations set by the province of B.C. What does this mean for the high school years? If crucial foundational skills are missed in prior years, it has an impact on successive years’ performance. That is why Sylvan’s approach to math is unique. We do not just help with math homework (any tutor can do that) — we get to the heart of the problem. Our Sylvan Skills Assessment® is like a window in history. It will discover your child’s strengths in math (so we do not need to teach those skills), and then show us where the learning process broke down.

Early warning signs of difficulty in math are: your child counts on his/her fingers; the basic math facts of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are weak; your child hates math; your child makes careless mistakes; your child has struggled with math for more than a year; your child needs a calculator for even the simplest questions; there was a year when your child just barely passed math; your child has been recommended for summer school; and finally, your child has received extra help for math and still not seen results.

Discover why Sylvan is the best solution for your child's math needs.
