College mathematics is typically a significant step up in difficulty, even for those students who succeeded in similar courses in high school. Before encountering differences in material and presentation in class, students face an overwhelming amount of freedom and change in their lives. There’s a lot to deal with in college, and math class can become an afterthought. Dedicating some of that study time to receiving 1:1 instruction from a tutor who is an expert ensures that students are not spinning their wheels for too long. Actively solving practice problems with the help of the right tutor can make all the difference. Call 614-264-1110 to learn more and sign up for Tutoring By A College Professor to be connected to a top-notch math tutor for your university today.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Tutoring by a College Professor?
Tutoring By A College Professor tutors use techniques that have proven successful both in their own academic pursuits and in the classroom, applied in a personalized manner. You have full agency over what topics and material you’d like to see covered, when your tutor slows down or provides an alternate explanation, unlike in a classroom setting. Most sessions will start with a mini-lesson on material you want to cover, providing background and context for the material. Knowing how a mathematical problem naturally arises, where a formula comes from, or why we use certain techniques for problem solving is critical for organizing that information in your brain. Then, you’ll work with your tutor on practice problems to put that material into context and prepare yourself for studying the material on your own. Mathematical ideas can only fully make sense with both the big-picture ideas and examples used in tandem. Please call 614-264-1110 today for a free consultation and sign up now.
How is college math different from high school?
College math courses often require a mastery of a wider range of skills and material, and common approaches from pre-college math classes don’t often work. Many high school students are incentivized to memorize material for the test and forget it afterwards. It’s an understandable approach; math courses are often taught as a list of disconnected and arbitrary units presented without deeper explanation and context.
Our math tutors will be teaching comprehensive theories—each piece of material fitting into a larger story that is often necessary for your future coursework or major. The out-in-the-open secret of college mathematics is that math should make sense. College exams will test if you truly understand material and are ready to apply it to a variety of academic pursuits.
How can students succeed in their college math courses?
First and foremost, adjusting to the “math should make sense” mindset will require active engagement in the lecture material. Going through materials with your tutor and flagging areas where you have questions can help you to recognize where the gaps may lie. Our tutors have strong foundations in all content, so there are no ‘stupid questions.’ You can always ask to re-learn material from earlier courses that never stuck with you!
A strong conceptual foundation is important, but success in math courses will also require regular practice. You wouldn’t expect to learn a sport just by watching it on TV! Similarly, you’ll need to build up your ‘mathematical muscle memory’ so that the material you learn becomes intuitive and easy to build on later. Building the right habits here is extremely important, and your tutor can make sure you are approaching practice problems and homework the best way, especially for a timed exam.
How are tutoring sessions conducted?
Tutoring sessions are online on Zoom. You can tutor from the comfort of home or the bustle of a coffee shop. It’s up to you.
How long are most tutoring sessions?
Students typically tutor in 1 hour increments, but sessions can run as long as you need.
What if I need an emergency tutoring session for a test tomorrow?
