Oxford Learning Coquitlam Tutors Can Make Math Enjoyable!
Math is generally considered the toughest school subject. However, the reality isn’t that simple. According to poll results, more students enjoy it than despise it.
But love it or hate it, understanding math is a key part of not only school but also life. While students may never need to calculate the circumference of a circle, basic math skills such as multiplication, division, and percentages are used throughout life.
How Coquitlam Math Tutors Help Students Perceive Math Differently
Whether students perceive math to be easy or difficult influences their performance. Not surprisingly, parents’ perceptions strongly influence their child’s performance. A series of studies show that parental influence has the biggest impact on student attitudes, surpassing even teacher influence.
Basically, when students have a positive attitude about math at home, it translates to a positive attitude in school, which, in turn, impacts math performance.
So how can Coquitlam math tutors help students and parents adopt a math positive attitude and work toward making it enjoyable?
Check out these tips from math tutors in Coquitlam to change perceptions and build better math skills.
Tips to Make Math Fun
- Don’t Give Up. Adopting a growth mindset is key to understanding that not everything comes easily and that working at something can bring rewards.
- Don’t Miss Class. Math is cumulative (concepts build upon one another), so missing one class can mean falling behind.
- Work With Friends. Friends can offer different ideas and approaches to solving complex problems, explain concepts differently, and share notes and strategies.
- Ask Questions. Speak up when a concept is not understood.
- Seek Solutions Online. Practise challenging problems online or with an app.
- Review Work. Analyze and understand mistakes to avoid repeating them.
- Build Basics. Keep working on the basic skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These skills are the foundation, and feeling confident in these skills will translate into confidence in other skills.
- Play. Board games or apps can make learning more interactive than a textbook.
- Get Help. Seeking extra help at the first sign of struggle is key.

Testimonials
Dear Victor, Both Richard and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the Oxford Learning Centre. Our son Erik began your program in February 2003, and at that time he was in Grade 1. Erik was struggling with all the new concepts and skills required in class. In addition, the homework sessions in the evenings with Erik were for both of us a great sourse of stress and tears. Erik was not enjoying going to school. Erik is graduating today from the Oxford Learning program, and I can let you know that Erik is not the same student today. He enjoys school and has become an accomplished reader Erik's first report card for Grade 2 was filled with A's and B's. He sits down every evening without any prompting from Richard or I to complete his homework. I asked Erik what he would like to say about what the Oxford Learning Centre has done for him. He said, "Oxford Learning has helped me with my writing, math, and reading comprehension." We share in his pride and confidence. Both Richard and I would like to again thank each of Erik's teachers, and you Victor for helping our son. He is now a confident student! With regards, Karen
Beyond Tutoring Good evening Victor, After I picked up my two sons at Oxford Learning this evening, they carried on in their excitement in the car. They told me about their lessons and how they wished they could go to Oxford Learning instead of school because they get the help they need and it's fun to be there. They really like it. I, of course, told them that because Oxford Learning is helping them, eventually they will enjoy school the same way because Oxford Learning will help them make it easier for them to understand what they are learning. I think it was a very lucky day when I picked up that phone and called Oxford Learning. Victor, this truly is the best thing we've ever done for these boys. Thank you… and we've only just begun! Jean
Testimonials Advantage High School Success Dear Victor and Staff, Many thanks of appreciation for all the hard work you and your staff have done. Because of you our son has learned to take responsibility for his education. He has done well and has graduated with honours this year. That is something we thought would never happen. It took us totally by surprise. When he came to you he was a 14 year old boy with a very low grade level and no self esteem. He was literally slipping through the cracks. He has learned to become a better and more confident student and a very hard worker. He takes pride in his accomplishments. The sessions at the centre have given our son the skills to perform everyday life situations and to continue his education. He knows what he wants to do and is working his way to achieving it. Without your help, I know our son would never have achieved such skills and confidence. Again thank-you to all of you, a job well done! Yours thankfully, Liz
Dear Victor, Thank you so much for your help in tutoring our son Nathan. Your centre goes beyond tutoring to instill confidence and learning skills that he can now use throughout his life. Nathan is doing well this year at school, he is happy and really enjoying the learning process for the first time. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We will continue to pass on the good news to other parents. Yours sincerely, Carol
