Your child isn't bad at math.
They're missing a piece.

I find the specific skill that's getting in the way, then teach it until the rest of math starts making sense.

WHY YOUR CHILD MAY BE STUCK

Struggling with 4th-grade math is often a 3rd-grade problem.

A child can work hard and still struggle when one earlier skill never fully clicked. That's the problem I specialize in finding.

01

Find what's getting in the way

We look beyond the current homework to see which earlier skill is causing the problem.

02

Make it understandable

You get a plain-language explanation of what your child needs—not a vague “needs more practice.”

03

Build it back up

Sessions focus on the missing skill until your child can use it confidently and move forward.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Not just help with tonight's homework.

Homework help has its place. But if a student is missing a foundational skill, more practice with the current lesson won't solve the underlying problem.

A typical tutoring session

“Let's work through what you have for tomorrow.”

  • Reviews the current lesson
  • Works through homework problems
  • Practices what is being taught right now

Math intervention

“Let's figure out why this is hard.”

  • Looks for the missing prerequisite skill
  • Builds a plan around the student's actual need
  • Adjusts instruction as the student grows
A SIMPLE EXAMPLE

Sometimes the problem isn't the skill you think it is.

A student struggling with division doesn't automatically need more division practice.

The symptom

“I can't do long division.”

The gap

Weak multiplication fact fluency or regrouping makes the division procedure fall apart.

HOW IT WORKS

Start small. See what's going on. Then decide.

No long-term contract. No pressure to sign up before you know whether we're a good fit.

01

Free 10-minute consultation

Tell me what you're seeing, what your child is struggling with, and what you've already tried.

02

Math Gap Assessment

A focused one-on-one assessment to identify the specific skill that's getting in the way.

03

Individualized intervention

Weekly online sessions focused on the skills your child actually needs to build.

WHO I HELP

Is this the right kind of help for your child?

Math intervention is a good fit for students who need more than another worksheet.

This may be a good fit if your child…

  • Works hard but still isn't making progress
  • Has fallen behind grade level
  • Gets stuck on skills they used to know
  • Struggles with place value, multiplication, division, fractions, or word problems
  • Needs individualized instruction at their pace
  • Has started saying, “I'm just bad at math.”
  • Needs someone to figure out why they're struggling

Not sure?

That's exactly what the free 10-minute consultation is for. We can talk about what you're seeing before you decide whether an assessment or ongoing intervention makes sense.

Talk with Mr. C
PROGRESS

Know what we're working on—and why.

Your child shouldn't just leave each session with more worksheets.

01 · TARGET

What we're working on

You'll know the specific skill we're targeting and why it matters.

02 · MASTERY

What your child can do

I'll track whether the skill is becoming independent and reliable.

03 · NEXT

What's coming next

As skills become secure, we'll move forward instead of practicing the same gap forever.

Parents can expect a brief progress update about every 4–6 weeks.

ABOUT MR. C

I specialize in the students who feel like math isn't for them.

I'm a New York State certified K–6 teacher with a master's degree in education. For the past ten years, I've worked exclusively with struggling math students.

I've seen over and over that a child who looks “behind” is often missing one or two important pieces—not lacking ability. My job is to find those pieces, teach them clearly, and help the student move forward with confidence.
