Maya R. · Grade 6 Math October report
Tutor note: Maya now checks her work without prompting. Next month: two-step equations and multi-step ratio problems.
What parents tell us
Our son went from hiding his math homework to asking if he can go early on Tuesdays. His teacher noticed before we did.
The monthly reports are the best part. I finally know exactly what she is working on and how to help at home.
Ms. Alvarez helped our daughter raise her ACT practice score steadily over ten weeks. Calm, organized and kind.
