CHARLOTTE (North Carolina), Aug. 8 - Math instruction has always been a big challenge for the kids in this part of America. No wonder, it remains a constant challenge for many a parent in this city.
Take the case of the Smiths. They did come across few ‘math commercials’ during their daily commute on their favorite FMs, but found nothing worth their ‘investment’ on their kids. Neither did this Guilford couple find local paper ads that appealing.
As parents of their tenth grader, John, neither the Smiths had the time or resources to drive him to a tutor’s place. But then their son’s falling grades had become apparent. They were in dire-straits, till one fine morning a colorful flier at their door came as a pleasant surprise to them.
Much to their relief, they learned about an education company, TCYonline.com, which is currently providing one-on-one live Math tutoring over the internet. Instantly, dad Smith had to call up John asking him change his vacation plans and return home.
John has always found Algebra difficult. But this online tutoring site has made a world of difference in his study plan. Thanks to scores of free worksheets and summer programs like ‘Speed Math’ available on the website, www.tcyonline.com, he is on cloud nine these days. In fact, he is recommending his class-mates too to enroll and get benefited by various sessions by TCYonline.com.

TCYonline.com’s North Carolina affiliate, Jeff Baker is of the opinion that this company’s ability to provide in-home educational support services indicates a ‘growing trend’ among national /international on-line business.
“Research has indicated that there is a continued challenge for students in math and sciences which has led to a decline in college majors, research, and the profession as a whole,” he said expressing the hope that his association with TCYonline.com would help address the national educational challenge.
Recent statistics provided by NC Public Instruction, Union County student services and testing (The Charlotte Observer-unionneighbors.com), indicate that only 23% of Charlotte-Mecklenburgh schools have met the AYP requirements which include Math, Reading, and Science.
