Accelerating Lifelong Skills

Your child’s career ambition may change moment to moment — Firefighter! Artist! Teacher! Mineralogist! — but no matter what career path your child chooses, telling time and counting money are essential lifelong skills. You believe it’s better to learn how to tell time and count money sooner rather than later. Our math tutors agree.

If your child needs help learning time or learning money, we can provide support. Our math tutors combine personal instruction with motivating feedback and fun rewards, so we capture your child’s attention and accelerate his or her results. You’ll love watching your child’s face light up when he or she figures out how to read a clock or how to count money for the first time.
