What Is Math Anxiety And How Can Online Math Tutoring Help?

By Heather Eagar







At some point in your child’s academic career, you may discover that he is suffering from math

anxiety. While it’s not a problem that can’t be overcome, it does require extra attention on the part of

the parent, who may need to find outside help to properly address it.



One way that parents have found success with addressing math anxiety is through online math

tutoring. Both similar and different than traditional, face-to-face tutoring, it offers unique benefits that

can help your child face this anxiety and come out on the other side of it victorious.



Taking Advantage of Live Chats



One unique benefit of online math tutoring for students with math anxiety is the ability to communicate

with a live tutor. What once seemed to be the missing element of online tutoring was the lack of

face-to-face interaction that for many students is extremely important. By being able to create a

personal comradery with a tutor, the student can feel more comfortable with instructions given, and can

essentially trust in the tutor – and oneself – that the math assignments and tests can be completed

successfully.



As tutors began to pop up online, the missing element of face-to-face communication appeared to be

a potential hindrance to tutoring success – especially in reference to math anxiety. That is, until live

chatting in text and video formats became available. With students being able to communicate in

real-time with their tutors, the same level of comradery can be achieved, thus allowing students with

varying levels of math anxiety to receive the same delicate reassurance they need to succeed on their

homework assignments and tests.



Overcoming Nervousness with Practice Sheets



In addition to working personally with a caring and understanding tutor, it is important for the student to

receive assurance regularly of his ability to perform. Repitition and practice is a great way to get this

done. And luckily, a bonus of working with most online math tutoring sites is access to resources like

practice problems and worksheets.

pre-generated problems that help him practice over and over again until he feels confident that he

understands the concept. And if your child works better with pencil and paper, you can also download

and print worksheets. This makes sure your child isn’t confined to one place in order to work. Instead,

he can venture around the house and work on problems in a setting that makes him feel more

comfortable.



Accessing Around-the-Clock Assistance



Another great benefit of utilizing online tutoring to help ease math anxiety is the availability it offers.

Unlike a personal tutor who can’t be available anytime your child begins to stress about an upcoming

test, online tutoring services are often available 24 hours a day. This means, if your child wakes up

nervous about a test, you can hop online and find a tutor who can resolve the math issue. Or you can

even download some worksheets to ease the stress.



Math anxiety is not an issue to be ignored. Luckily, by seeking the assistance of an online tutor, along

with any other professional help necessary, your child can make it through his semester of math

successfully.

Techniques You Hope Your Math Tutor Will Employ

By Heather Eagar







When working with any type of tutor, you want to make sure that they are fully qualified to offer the

academic assistance you need and deserve. This is especially true for math tutors because the subject

is so specialized and difficult to excel in if a foundation is not built.



So if you are looking at a personal tutor, or online math tutoring service, it’s important to know what to

look for in both. To help you out, let’s take a look at some techniques you want a math tutor to employ

in order to offer you the academic success you desire.



Teach Vocabulary



A major foundation of any math subject is the vocabulary. Because there are so many terms to learn

and remember, it’s important that this aspect of learning math is focused on initially as much as

problem-solving. So if you want to find a tutor who is able to give you the best in math assistance, it’s

good to search for one who feels it is important to focus a good amount of time on vocabulary.



Find the Student’s Strengths and Weaknesses



In math, it is easy for different students to have vastly different strengths and weaknesses. One

student may be great at division, while another may be much better at graphs. The tutor’s job is to

determine what the strengths and weaknesses are then know how to enhance the ways they’re already

strong and strengthen areas where they’re weak.



When talking to a prospective tutor, or reviewing an online service, you want to make sure that the

tutor(s) are good at engaging the students. The tutor should encourage students to think on their own

so that they can feel confident in their ability to solve a problem when the tutor is not around.



Good at Listening



It’s probably going to be a rarity to find a math tutor who advertises their ability to listen. But if you

want to use some type of summoning power to bring to you all of the qualities you hope for in a math

tutor, this is one of them. A math tutor who listens is one who is successful. Of course, a tutor will be

doing a large chunk of the talking in order to teach, but if he doesn’t know how to listen when a student

has a question, concern, or “ah-ha” moment, there is no real proof that any progress is being made.



Address Math Anxiety



While many students have difficulties grasping math subjects, some have what is known as math

anxiety, where they are truly intimidated by the subject. When working with a student with math

anxiety, encouragement is more delicate. For instance, telling a child “this is easy,” may help a child

feel that he or she can complete the problem. However, a child with math anxiety may feel intimidated

by this statement because it means it’s easy to everyone else. Finding someone sensitive to this level

of insecurity can be very beneficial.



There’s nothing better than finding the right math tutor to work with. So if you or your child are in need
