We began our journey with first grade math facts in elementary school. Our daughter hit a brick wall at 'subtraction to 15.' We were spending up to 2 hours on flash cards at home and she could not pass her 50-question test in 5 minutes. Needless to say, our daughter's morale was down and she'd say that she was 'just not good at math.' As parents, we knew that the rate limiting step was our teaching methodology and not our daughter's capacity to learn. And this is when we found you. In exactly 6 months you have helped our daughter achieve the following:
- Master addition/subtraction facts to 20. She can do 50-problem tests in 1 & 1/2 minutes.
- Learn multiplication facts to 12. She can complete 50-problem tests in 2 & 1/2 - 3 minutes.
Our daughter now LOVES math. If you ask her what her best talent is, she'll reply matter of factly that it is 'math.' She recently stated that she has "tons of little sticky notes in her brain with numbers and math facts." It's amazing how far we've come in just 6 months and it is 100% attributable to you.
