K-12 Homework help: High hopes on Obama

Posted by TCYonline.com on November 28, 2008

NEW YORK,  Nov. 28 – One of the challenges before the  US President-elect, Mr. Barak Obama, is to raise the level of K-12 education in this country in general and Math instruction in particular. If education pundits are to be believed, Mr.  Obama is sure to bring a fresh lease of life into the American school system.

With an average American kid growing up with a calculator in his backpack, and her mom’s tucked in her purse, no wonder math education is bound to take a bashing. Sometimes, teachers and parents are left with tearing their hair in desperation when they find their kids failing to do a simple math right.

On the flip side, though some hardworking school district teachers are giving their hearts out by giving after-school math classes, a lot remains to be done. With most of the parents  doing two jobs in  these times of severe credit crunch, most of the K-12 students find themselves at sea when it comes to homework help.

Following a football practice when a school-kid like 8th grader Tom comes home – bruised and battered —   neither has he inkling nor a desire to do his homework at that hour.  Home alone he watches some evening TV and sinks into his bed. But then homework has to be done.

Thanks to some online Math tutoring companies like TCYonline.com he feels rest assured in the back of his mind and springs up to refresh himself.  His loving math tutor at the other end has already made the subject a cakewalk for him.

Since the launch of such a Math program in his area through the company’s affiliate, Tom is finding himself at cloud nine. All he has to do is log on with a simple user ID and password at www.tcyonline.com. And, there he goes.  Patient and caring tutors at this tutoring company help him with difficult Algebra and Trigonometry questions.

There has been an appreciable improvement in his grades since the last couple of months Tom has been taking one-on-one math tutoring sessions. Tom has virtually fallen in love with Math, hitherto a scary subject for him.

Earning accolades from his Math teacher and parents, this kid is going great guns. Faring well in Math has in fact given him a great morale boost as they have impacted his overall grades too.

But, what is so special about TCYonline methodology? This question keeps on popping out of the minds of tens and thousands of parents in this country. Fast spreading its goodwill through every nook and corner of the US – coast to coast — this one-on-one online Math tutoring company has made a mark for itself using the Whiteboard technology with the help of the internet.

One of the salient features of the program is the child does not have to give up her other after-class activities. Now Math supplemental education and homework help is available at the click of a mouse and from the security of home.

Moreover, parents do not have to drive to tutoring locations. Students get 100% one-on-one tutoring at their choice of time.

Tutoring salient features:
1. One-on-one live math tutoring on the whiteboard
2. State-aligned curriculum, and individualized tutoring plans
3. Homework help just a click away
4. Affordable, highly cost-effective, unlimited tutoring plans
5. No installations. Convenient audio and LIVE chat

Homework help being the forte of TCYonline.com, its tutors make it a point to make math as simple as possible for the kids, without making it a spoon-feeding exercise.  Rather the tutors put the kids through paces, encouraging and cajoling them towards their path of excellence. Rave reviews from kids and their parents bear a strong testimony to the fact how supportive and goal-oriented are the tutors.

Still not convinced, how about a free 30-minute tutoring session anytime, any subject?
