Math

Math classes are taught by Shannon Zhou, a graduate of Fudan University, who has 18 years of teaching experience. Although her math classes follow the Singapore Math curriculum (a world-renowned course of instruction), she offers much more as an instructor. Her classes feature:

​

• Math enrichment & the reinforcement of skills

• Strategies on how to solve complex word problems

• A focus on teaching students to think critically and creatively

• Instruction to show kids that math is fun and enjoyable

​

Please call Ms. Zhou for the current schedule of math classes: (732) 910-0186

Note

We teach group classes because students have more fun when they learn with their peers. They discuss books, compete in vocabulary contests, and critique each other's work. In both writing/reading and math classes, students are more motivated to learn when they see their classmates working hard alongside them.
