NEW YORK: The world of online tutoring is gaining a new player, Mental Math. Launched on July 11, this innovative online tutoring program offered by ESUMZ.COM is targeted for children ages 7 to 12 who want to gain an edge on learning math. Mental Math is a program designed for children who are looking to accelerate their learning, or who are having difficulties in school.
Drawn upon math principles developed hundreds of years ago, Mental Math formulas are direct, powerful, and are very different from the traditional form of math calculations. The methods are extraordinary in efficiency and simplicity. Complexly arranged modern math problems can easily be done using these simple mental math formulas. “The beauty of this program,” explains creator Venkat Radhakrishnan, “is that we incorporate live audio and visual learning in the lessons.
Children will learn math through reading engaging stories, working with a tutor, and working with each other. By presenting simple formulae in a casual learning setting, children will learn how to complete complex problems with ease in a matter of seconds.” Over the course of nine lessons, children will receive course material prepared by teachers and experts through Email.
Each lesson starts and ends with a 10-question quiz to gather each child’s level of knowledge, before and after the lesson. The students meet in a virtual classroom and, together, read a story. Throughout the course of the story, a Mental Math formula will be introduced, explained, and used. During the lesson, the online tutor will use audio and live white board technology (an online interactive application) to explain the application of the formula.
At any point throughout the lesson, a child can ask for one-on-one help from the tutor. For only $99, children will learn how to mentally subtract large numbers, multiply numbers like 85 by 85 in less than 3 seconds, and divide two digit numbers by 9, learn how easy multiplying by 11 can be, and more.
