Question 1

How should I pick a learning/tutoring center for my child? Why should I pick Numerica?

Accepted Answer

It is important that you learn more about each center's education philosophy and decide if it aligns with how you want to educate your child. Some centers focus on practice, others emphasize conceptual understanding. It is also crucial to enquire about the background and training provided to teachers at the center. 
 
At Numerica, we use an all-rounded approach - we teach our students to master both concepts and skills. Our mission as educators is to make sure that our students achieve high test scores, but also for them to understand the importance of math as a discipline we use and encounter in our daily lives. Our teachers have a strong background in math, are trained professionally in innovative pedagogical practices and are up-to-date on math education research.
