People say they either love math or they don't get it. We say you don't get it yet. Our philosophy is that we will teach the student to understand and appreciate the process to learn about Mathematics.
Math is everywhere, and it's connected to everything we do. Our teachers incorporate real life examples, and situations drawn from different subject areas to make Math more interesting and relevant for students. However, at the end of the day it's through practice that students would get better and excel. It is crucial that students work on the assigned homework problems every night and seek extra help from their teacher if they struggle with any of the concepts presented in class.
