Approach and Structure:
The Montessori method focuses on hands-on learning and nurturing the child’s natural curiosity. In this personalized 1-on-1 tutoring format, each session is carefully structured to ensure active engagement with materials and concepts.

Interactive Materials: Children will use Montessori math tools (beads, boards, cubes) to physically manipulate objects and visualize abstract mathematical concepts.

Child-Led Learning: The student sets the pace, exploring mathematical ideas through guided discovery. The tutor will observe and gently guide, allowing the child to make connections and develop confidence.

Step-by-Step Guidance: Each session builds on the last, moving from simple to more complex concepts. The tutor will introduce new challenges while reinforcing foundational skills.

Holistic Development: Montessori math isn’t just about numbers; it’s about helping the child think logically, solve problems, and develop an inner sense of order.

Engagement and Fun: By incorporating play, real-life applications, and engaging materials, students stay excited and motivated about math.

Structure of Each Session (30 minutes):
Introduction (3 minutes): Begin with a brief review of the previous lesson and introduce new concepts.

Hands-On Exploration (15 minutes): The child will engage with Montessori materials to understand the day’s concept through direct interaction and manipulation.

Guided Practice (10 minutes): The child will work through a series of guided problems, applying the day’s concept with the tutor’s support.

Wrap-Up and Reflection (2 minutes): Conclude with a review of the day’s learning and a preview of the next topic, encouraging the child to reflect on their progress.

Why This Course?
