If your child is struggling in math, you might be trying to decide how much to invest in your child’s math help program. You have a range of options, from online programs to individual tutors to specialized learning centers. But is the expense of paying for math help a good use of your family’s finances?

A math tutoring program, especially an evidence-based program with a proven history of success, will do more for your child than help them pass the next math test. The right program will help your child truly understand math. When a student does not understand a math concept, this can disrupt their understanding of the concepts that build upon it later. A good program will repair this foundation, which empowers students to succeed far beyond a single test.

The fastest growing careers are in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), so your child’s math success has far greater implications than just good grades. Your investment in math help for your child today can help them earn a degree in a STEM field that will pave the way to a high-earning, gratifying career.

In the shorter term, good math grades will help your child earn college scholarships. Your investment in a math tutoring program today can help to offset future college costs. As you investigate math tutoring options for your student, look beyond just the expense and consider which options will truly give your child the math understanding they need for life.
