At Chesapeake Tutors, our mission is to help young learners not only succeed in math but also develop a genuine love for it. We believe that mathematics is all around us, and by connecting math concepts to the real world and students' lives, we make learning engaging and meaningful. Our approach focuses on understanding each student’s unique strengths and challenges, ensuring we find ways to make math “click” for them.
What We Focus On
Our tutoring sessions are designed to build a strong foundation in essential math skills across all grade levels:
Kindergarten: Counting, number recognition, basic shapes, patterns, and introductory addition and subtraction.
1st Grade: Place value, addition and subtraction fluency, telling time, basic word problems, and simple geometry.
2nd Grade: Multi-digit addition and subtraction, introduction to multiplication and division, measurement, and data interpretation (charts and graphs).
3rd Grade: Multiplication and division fluency, fractions, area and perimeter, and problem-solving strategies.
4th Grade: Multi-digit multiplication and division, decimals, fractions (comparison, addition, and subtraction), and geometry (angles, lines, and symmetry).
5th Grade: Advanced fractions, decimals, volume, coordinate planes, and introductory algebra concepts.
6th Grade: Ratios, percentages, advanced geometry, data analysis, and deeper exploration of pre-algebra concepts.
Targeted and Data-Driven Support
To ensure we address your child’s specific needs, we gather data points through diagnostic assessments and ongoing observations. This allows us to pinpoint math strengths and deficits, creating a personalized plan tailored to close any gaps in understanding while building on their existing skills.
Our Commitment
We pride ourselves on cultivating a growth mindset in students, showing them that math is not just about numbers but about problem-solving, reasoning, and making sense of the world around them. With patience, creativity, and targeted strategies, we help students gain confidence in their abilities and a deeper appreciation for mathematics.
Whether your child needs help catching up, staying on track, or being challenged further, our elementary math tutoring services are here to support their academic journey.
