Screen vs. Paper Reading—Which is Better for Learning?

According to research, how students read—not just what they read—matters!

Students who read on paper score higher on comprehension tests than those who read on screens.
Reading on screens leads to skimming and lowered attention and retention.
Reading on paper engages more senses, which boosts comprehension and recall.

Oxford Learning Victoria Tutors Can Make Math Enjoyable!

Math is generally considered the toughest school subject. However, the reality isn’t that simple. According to poll results, more students enjoy it than despise it. But love it or hate it, understanding math is a key part of not only school but also life. While students may never need to calculate the circumference of a circle, basic math skills such as multiplication, division, and percentages are used throughout life.

How Victoria Math Tutors Help Students Perceive Math Differently

Whether students perceive math to be easy or difficult influences their performance. Not surprisingly, parents’ perceptions strongly influence their child’s performance. A series of studies show that parental influence has the biggest impact on student attitudes, surpassing even teacher influence.

Basically, when students have a positive attitude about math at home, it translates to a positive attitude in school, which, in turn, impacts math performance.

So how can Victoria math tutors help students and parents adopt a math positive attitude and work toward making it enjoyable?

Check out these tips from math tutors in Victoria to change perceptions and build better math skills.

Tips to Make Math Fun

Don’t Give Up. Adopting a growth mindset is key to understanding that not everything comes easily and that working at something can bring rewards.
Don’t Miss Class. Math is cumulative (concepts build upon one another), so missing one class can mean falling behind.
Work With Friends. Friends can offer different ideas and approaches to solving complex problems, explain concepts differently, and share notes and strategies.
Ask Questions. Speak up when a concept is not understood.
Seek Solutions Online. Practise challenging problems online or with an app.
Review Work. Analyze and understand mistakes to avoid repeating them.
Build Basics. Keep working on the basic skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These skills are the foundation, and feeling confident in these skills will translate into confidence in other skills.
Play. Board games or apps can make learning more interactive than a textbook.
Get Help. Seeking extra help at the first sign of struggle is key.

Testimonials

As a parent, I have always felt that it’s important to keep academic learning a priority over the summer months. This summer my 10 year old son and 8 year old daughter spent a couple of hours with Danny focusing on a variety of approaches to math. Both of my children felt, after just a couple of weeks, that they learned more in that timeframe than they had their entire school year. Danny made the learning fun and didn’t just focus on the actual math calculations but also on how to following directions, how to best approach a lengthy word problem, and how to stay focused on answering exactly what is being asked. I know, without a doubt, that from the time spent at Oxford, my kids are better prepared to jump in to the new school year with confidence and valuable lessons that will help them for years to come. We can’t thank Oxford Learning enough for a super summer of focused learning.

It’s been a long few years with you and math, but it has finally come to an end. I’m glad to be done, but I’ll really miss seeing you now that it’s over. I couldn’t have made it here without you, and I’m so grateful to you for sticking with me all these years, I know it can’t have been easy. You are an excellent teacher and I wish you luck in helping others like you’ve helped me for a long time to come. Than you for being an amazing, strong, hard working person!

Thank you Danny and Oxford Learning! We will be forever grateful for the way you and Oxford Learning helped our son over the past 18 months. Our son has never shown much of an interest in school but things got worse when he entered High school and the academic and organizational demands increased. He couldn’t keep up and wouldn’t accept help at home. We even tried other tutors without success and in one case it made the situation worse. I remember how right from the beginning the staff at Oxford Learning were so respectful and encouraging. Caitlin clearly outlined what she could provide and her expectations for our son during our intake session and my hope began to be restored that he could set and achieve academic goals and be matched with a tutor that could relate to him and meet him where he was with his learning. Our son was then matched with his tutor Danny who found ways to individualize his program to achieve results. For what seemed like the first time an educator listened to our son and took the time to discover his interests and use them as a springboard for his lessons. As a parent it was such a relief to see our son relax in a safe learning environment where his ideas were valued and encouraged. It followed that this helped motivate our child to set goals and to try. It took dedication from everyone involved but with time and patience Danny’s efforts paid off as our son began to gain confidence and believe he could learn. I would highly recommend Oxford Learning and in particular Danny as a tutor. Danny is a gifted teacher whose professionalism and willingness to do right by his students is remarkable. He was the perfect fit for our son and gave us options at a time when we had run out of them.

I like Oxford Oxford Learning because my books are fun. I have improved my reading in many ways. The main thing so far is reading out loud. I also enjoy the teachers. They are very nice and have helped me a lot. I have learned many things and would recommend Oxford Learning to all my friends.

Thanks to the dedication and hard work from all teachers at Oxford Learning, I have seen my shy guy come alive! His confidence in what he has learned is wonderful but his willingness to try something new is even more awesome. Thanks again for all you have given us.

Since my children attended Oxford Learning, their grades have gone up. We don’t have to remind them to do they homework because they know how to organize their time. They are also feeling better at school. We thank the teachers at Oxford Learning for their patience, guidance and support.
C Smith

It is so important that a child be introduced to a program that is both educational and fun. I’m a firm believer that it has a huge impact on how a child views education. My son started Little Readers after a couple of other “preschool” programs. There was no comparison! He learned so much more in one month than he did in the previous 9 months with the other programs. Little Readers has more than prepared him for kindergarten. When my daughter was old enough, it was a no brainer where she was going. She loves being a Little Reader! C Hope

All activities are customized to our son and propel him forward. The teachers at Oxford Learning and at his public school work together so that our son gets that help as it identified, which allows us all to work together to assist our son reach his fullest potential to be a productive and positive member of society.

My son Colin will soon begin his journey into the world of postsecondary education, and thanks to his teachers at Oxford Learning, he is more organized and finally has confidence in his own judgment. He is more than prepared to tackle the SATs and is looking forward to heading off to college in the fall. You have passed the baton to him to begin his journey to the next stage of his life.
