Your Child’s Situation
Your Child’s Situation
Your child math understanding seems strong.
Their best test scores are high and they finish most or all of their homework.
But their average isn't that high because their scores aren’t consistent. Definitely not consistent enough for a straight A.
Too often, they see problems on tests that they are unsure about or have no idea how to solve. It is disappointing, especially after they put in time, effort and seem to be thoroughly prepared. It makes it impossible to reach beyond 90% overall grade.
Why, in spite of hours of studying, honest effort and some high scores, does your child still score lower on some of their tests?
What could the missing piece be?
What will happen if they start a difficult chapter and start getting even lower scores?
What will happen to their confidence?
Will their grade drop even lower, stripping them of their chance for a straight A?
Your child needs to cover math thoroughly.
They need to bridge the gap between the homework and tests.
In class, most concepts are covered equally. And the hardest problems are usually skipped or skimmed over, because there is not enough time.
That's a big problem for your child.
Moreover, homework often doesn't even cover all types of problems. That's another huge problem.
Your child is strong in math (in general), so they need to focus on the top 10-20% of the hardest problems. They should not spend too much time on the rest.
They need to identify and truly master the hardest concepts and problems.
They need to reach thorough and comprehensive understanding, speed and confidence in the areas many students struggle in.
The focus on those hardest topics is the difference between a B or a B+ and a straight A.
This is the biggest difference between students who score 85-90% and the students who cross-over to the elusive range of 92-100%.
That's the level your child needs to get to. They need to expand beyond homework, because homework is cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all.
Homework doesn’t cover everything. It hardly ever covers the hardest problems sufficiently. And since your child needs to focus on those exact problems, homework won't help.
Your child needs a straight A for their confidence, for their GPA and to be well prepared for future, higher-level math classes. Perhaps they are planning on taking (or are taking) AP or Honors classes which require additional effort and more in-depth understanding.

How Your Child Can Reach Their #1 Math Goal:
Eliminate Math Anxiety
How Your Child Can Reach Their #1 Math Goal:
Eliminate Math Anxiety
Does your child get anxious or even cry before math tests?
Do they get so anxious that they simply refuse to study math?
Do they “freeze” during tests, leave problems blank even when they know how to solve them?
If so, you need to alleviate your child's suffering as soon as possible.
Math anxiety is, unfortunately, too common.
Are you wondering why your child is suffering from it?
There may be many causes:
You need to alleviate your child's anxiety as soon as possible.
How?
By eliminating its root cause.
Imagine that every time you solve a problem, you make mistakes you just can't figure out...
no matter how hard you try.
That's what doing homework feels like to your child.
Endless stream of problems...
every single one reminding them how much they don't know.
Add to that being stressed out by a time limit...
and now you know what your child experiences during tests.
Your child wants to do well! They want to make you proud. They want to do as well as their friends.
But they are not prepared well enough. They don't have strong math foundations, so they solve problems slower. They study “shallow” so they have seen most of the problems, but they don't remember them in detail. Maybe they saw the teacher solve them, but they can't solve them independently.
So they struggle during tests, stress out, make mistakes, stress out more and run out of time.
On top of that, they lack confidence so they question their work every step of the way... even if it's correct!
All of these issues contribute to their anxiety.
Every time they do math, they feel overwhelmed, stuck and hopeless.
They feel like a failure.
They feel stupid.
What a lot of our clients found, is that being well prepared for tests significantly reduces or eliminates these anxieties.
When your child is well-prepared, the guess-work is gone.
They know exactly what to do, and how to do it.
They aren't anxious.
They are confident.
They have a crystal-clear vision of how to solve problems.
When their fundamentals are strong, they can solve problems quicker because they don't get stuck on small steps over and over... and over again.
They see a problem,
they know what to do,
and how to do it.
No stress. No anxiety.
There are 3 first steps your child needs to take to eliminate their math anxiety.

Math anxiety is, unfortunately, too common.
Are you wondering why your child is suffering from it?
There may be many causes:
- your child may be anxious about doing well under pressure – particularly on tests.
- your child may be stressed out about solving challenging problems they are not confident about.
- your child may be stressed out about math in general – getting stuck, not understanding it and feeling “stupid”.
- your child may have had bad math experiences – bad teachers, low grades or impatient tutors.

There are 3 first steps your child needs to take to eliminate their math anxiety.
- use deep learning and practice fundamentals to gain a thorough understanding of concepts, which means your child won't feel anxious about encountering challenging or surprising problems on the tests, and will confidently solve any problem that might occur
- learn solving and thinking independently to get through problems with no guidance, so they stop being anxious about getting stuck and are able to trust their abilities and knowledge without asking anyone for help
- practice multiple variations of problems to gain exposure to variety of cases that might occur on tests (even those that homework doesn't cover), which means your child will stop getting anxious about encountering problems or cases that weren't covered in the homework or in class, and can be confident in their ability to perform well, whether or not homework is comprehensive (and we already know it is not)
Your Child’s Potential For Improvement
Your Child’s Potential For Improvement
Your child needs to expand their practice beyond homework both in terms of the problems types and the level of difficulty, to make sure they are ready for the hardest problems.
To get to a straight A level, your child needs to thoroughly analyze their mistakes, understand how different variations of problems work and what are the best, fastest, most efficient ways to solve them.
By focusing on the hardest 10-20% of the problems, your child can progress 3-5X faster and tackle their weaknesses to be confident and prepared to ace the most challenging tests.
Your child has done a great job getting this far and they should continue using the strengths to their advantage. Getting a straight A will require your child to be more strategic and focused but their strengths will still help them along the way.
