We start with an initial assessment to understand each student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. Based on this assessment, we create a personalized learning plan that targets specific areas for improvement and leverages the student's strengths.

Educational therapy and tutoring differ primarily in their scope and approach. Educational therapy addresses both academic and non-academic challenges, focusing on students with learning differences or disabilities through individualized intervention plans and long-term strategies. In contrast, tutoring provides targeted academic assistance in specific subjects to improve immediate performance and understanding, often aligned with the school curriculum. While educational therapy aims for holistic, long-term development, tutoring focuses on short-term academic goals. Although we do not provide homework assistance or traditional tutoring, we highly recommend Math Wizdom to those searching for those services. You can get in contact with Math Wizdom on their website, www.mathwizdom.com

We enhance learning through digital tools like interactive whiteboards and ensure each session caters to the student's individual needs. For those who require it, we can send a customized kit of manipulatives directly to your home, for an additional cost.

Educational Therapy is a holistic approach to learning that not only focuses on what students are learning but also on how they learn. Unlike traditional tutoring, which primarily addresses specific academic subjects and content, educational therapy delves into the underlying cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes that impact a student's ability to learn. By incorporating personalized strategies and therapeutic techniques, educational therapy helps students overcome learning challenges, develop effective study habits, and build confidence, leading to long-term academic success and personal growth.

Executive Function Coaching focuses on developing a student's cognitive and organizational skills, which are crucial for effective learning and daily functioning. This type of coaching helps students with planning, time management, organization, goal-setting, and self-regulation. The aim is to equip students with strategies to manage their tasks, improve their focus, and enhance their overall academic performance and life skills. Traditional Tutoring, on the other hand, is primarily focused on helping students understand and master specific academic content. This can include explaining difficult concepts, assisting with homework, preparing for tests, and reinforcing classroom learning in subjects like math, science, or language arts. While traditional tutoring addresses immediate academic challenges, executive function coaching provides students with the tools to improve their overall learning process and handle a wide range of tasks more efficiently. At MindBridge Math Mastery, we emphasize both academic success and essential life skills development through our unique approach to ensure comprehensive support, helping students not only excel academically but also develop essential life skills.

Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability that affects a person's ability to understand various aspects of math, such as understanding quantities, magnitudes, and spatial relationships. Students with dyscalculia often struggle with basic arithmetic, time, money, visualizing distances, and directionality, such as distinguishing left from right, despite having normal intelligence and adequate instruction. General math difficulties, on the other hand, can arise from various factors such as gaps in education, lack of practice, or challenges with specific math concepts. These issues are typically less severe and can often be addressed with targeted instruction and practice. At MindBridge Math Mastery, we provide specialized support tailored to the unique needs of students with dyscalculia, helping them build a strong foundation and confidence in math..
