Brain Training or Tutoring for Math Skills?

If you’re looking for math help, a math tutor might seem similar to brain training. In fact, brain training and math tutoring involve different approaches, and each one works best for different types of learners.

A math tutor will take a similar approach to teaching math that kids find at school. This can be helpful for students who’ve missed classes or benefit from repeating material. However, if students are having trouble in math class because they need to strengthen underlying skills, they’ll have just as much trouble with math tutoring.

This is where brain training offers a different approach to math help. Rather than simply repeating classroom content, brain training has helped students build the underlying cognitive skills that students use for math. The goal is for students to understand math more quickly, easily, and naturally all on their own.

Tutoring can be a good fit for students who:

  • Have missed classes due to illness
  • Have recently moved to a new school
  • Are learning from a substitute teacher
  • Benefit from reviewing class materials

Brain training is a great choice fit for students who:

  • Need to work harder or longer on schoolwork than peers
  • Have trouble focusing on lessons and assignments
  • Are having difficulty with core skills, like reading or math
  • Have tried tutoring in the past but haven’t seen results
