5-Star GOLD
AWARD!
The Math Tutor DVD series offers a solid guarantee. It is
guaranteed to raise your grade, or your money back. How is that for confidence
in their product?
The style of teaching used in this series is different
than we usually see at the review center. There is no one standing there
lecturing you. You view a whiteboard, the teacher's arm & hand, and him
writing with his dry ink pen. When he is finished explaining a problem on the
board, he erases it and moves on to the next. You hear his narration (teaching
& explanation) as he is writing the problems out. Another difference I
noted, when he makes a mistake, he does not start the filming over. He points
out his mistake and moves on. (these are infrequent, but I thought the honesty
and transparency used is helpful to students, to let them see we are all human)
These differences took me aback for a moment, when I first began to
watch. However, what I found and had confirmed by my son (who hates math), is
that it sticks! My son, watching only a few segments with me for the review
time, said he gained a few helpful tips in those few moments, that will help him
with his math both now and in the future. Tips and tricks he had not been taught
prior, that now he has in his arsenal when dealing with a school subject he
dislikes passionately.
Math Tutor DVD gives you real life examples of
the math issues you face. Walking you through problem after problem, giving you
tips along the way. I like the simplistic manner and ease in which he teaches.
This makes math much less scary and much more doable. You can actually see what
is going on and understand how it all works together. Without this knowledge
math remains a mysterious subject that people struggle with. Once you see the
big picture, however, it makes sense and is much easier to approach.
Divided into topical segments, one can set the dvd to the portion they
need to work on at the time of viewing. (this is a great feature I love about
DVD's that was not available back in the day of VHS).
Problem after
problem is solved before your eyes. This helps the brain to retain it much
easier than seeing one problem solved and then moving on. Seeing the same
problem, but in a different context, helps one to see the relationship of the
steps in solving the problem.
These videos offer hours of tutoring for a
very moderate and affordable price. You would spend hundreds of dollars hiring a
tutor to give this much instruction. (I know because I have hired one in the
past) Now you have an excellent resource to go to at any hour of any day, time
and time again.
They offer 1st - 7th grade math tutor videos, all the
way up to calculus, trig and physics.
If you have a student who needs a
little help (or a lot of it) - or you need to do some brushing up on your math
skills - I encourage you to try this one! I think you will find it very
beneficial and so easy to understand and follow.
