Testimonies
"Miss Cashaback has been working with my daughter for two months learning basic developmental skills and I have already seen a lot of progress. They go on specially planned outings which make the skills she is learning come to life. I hope that Miss Cashaback can continue to work with my daughter for a long time." - Mirna
Mirna's daughter is a young high-school student with special needs. When she first started with Root Tutoring she was unable to count money, understand time and had a variety of grammar difficulties. By finding the root of the problem, she is now able to talk about dollars and cents, hours and minutes, and is also able to use a calendar with ease. It has been wonderful working with her and learning which activities suit her learning style.

Place value is the key to understanding Maths. We started with the basics, working on partitioning and building numbers with clear attention to place value. (see next picture for results)
Many students learn better when applying their new found skills. Jennifer has been taken out on a variety of 'field trips' in order to focus on telling time or dealing with money. We always record what we've done together.

The teacher will guide students' learning and give extensions to ensure that the students understand the lesson. She was a very good teacher.
