Math Tutoring

Mathematics is concepts of quantity, structure, space, and change

We know that math is often a most difficult subject for students. Therefore we at Bartelt Education Center incorporate many different strategies to help our students overcome their difficulties with math and even begin to enjoy it.

We at Bartelt Education Center teach our students that math (including the higher math areas) is a game. Like many games, it has pieces, moves, strategies, goals, and its own vocabulary. Usually the object of a game is to discover some specific unknown by using available clues. We teach our students problem-solving skills, not just memorization of set formulas. Whenever possible, we relate problems to the real world in clear, simple terms that students relate to. Even the more abstract higher math areas, which don't seem to have any relationship to real life situations, can be made relevant when viewed from a life problem situation. What steps should be taken in order to solve this problem.

Because of this approach, we teach that all aspects of learning mathematics can be fun. It is a toolkit for solving mysteries. Using whatever clues we find, we translate the mystery using numbers and symbols. After we've manipulated the numbers and symbols in accordance with the rules, we translate the result back into real world terms. After initially determining a students particular math level, we at Bartelt Education Center help our students discover the rules of math and how to implement them in a fun environment.

Our tutoring program in math ranges from the basics through pre-algebra, algebra I and II, geometry, trigonometry, calculus and other high level math courses.
