Workshop Description:

Do you ever struggle helping your children with their homework? Do you feel nervous when faced with math problems? This three hour Math for Moms and Dads (How to Tutor Your Children) workshop is designed to help parents become better tutors to children of all ages. Participants will be introduced to ways to better support their children in the learning process, achieve success in completing homework, and understand ways to help their children be more successful in their learning outside the classroom. Parents will learn how to set goals, recognize challenges and be introduced to a variety of strategies to use when tutoring their children.

Participants will have the opportunity to apply strategies learned in the workshop in several practice scenarios. Parents will also be provided with a variety of resources to take away with them.
