| Parents think that math for elementary school kids is | | | | 1. Philosophy of the company |
| easy. And they are right, it is easy. But what's not | | | | 2. Student to teacher ratio |
| easy is to how you teach them. Being parents or big | | | | 3. Individual attention. Most importantly it should NOT be |
| shot professional, we tried to think we can do | | | | group teaching like what students anyway get at |
| everything. I suggest you take a closer look at yourself | | | | school. |
| for your ability to teach a young one. Teaching math to | | | | 4. Not just arithmetic learning, program should also |
| 5 to 15 yrs old kids is something you can do only if you | | | | have analytical and critical thinking exercises too |
