Sparking Greater Math Success

Decimals are an important part of the math curriculum in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades, but if you’re finding decimals to be a tough topic to explain to your child, you aren’t alone. (Let’s face it, it’s hard to cut a cake into thousandths, and it’s really hard to recall the steps for dividing decimals!)

Our math tutoring program takes the mystery out of learning decimals. With our decimals tutoring program, your child will learn how to apply decimals both in school and in everyday life, building his or her confidence and inspiring math success.
