Click here to schedule a consultation with our experts.

Math is one area where i feel most parents supplement education outside. Inspite of computing becoming better every day the focus on math education has not gone away. More money is poured into math education in early years than any other category i know.

As a parent, you want to give your child the best possible education, but with so many math programs available—Khanmigo, IXL, Bhanu Academy, Class Up, Russian Math—how do you choose the right one? Also there is a plethora of excellent individual math teachers which your child could be missing out on.

It’s not just about finding a program near you; it’s about selecting a learning experience that fits your child’s unique needs, learning style, and motivation.

At Parent Genie, we understand that not all math programs are created equal. We take the stress out of selecting the right one by providing expert guidance tailored to your child.

Here’s how we help:

1. Personalized Assessments

Every child has a different learning style—some thrive in structured environments like Russian Math, while others benefit from interactive and adaptive platforms like Khanmigo. We assess your child’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences to match them with the most effective program.

2. Program Comparison & Expert Insights

We don’t just look at price and location—we analyze:

• Curriculum depth (Does it align with school standards?)

• Teaching methodology (Is it conceptual, drill-based, or exploratory?)

• Engagement level (Will your child stay motivated?)

• Flexibility & support (Can you adjust pacing and get tutor assistance?)

  
  

3. Trial Guidance & Program Fit

Many programs offer free trials, but parents often struggle to determine if a program truly suits their child. We guide you through trial sessions, helping you observe key factors:

• Is the child engaged or frustrated?

• Is the difficulty level appropriate?

• Does the program provide the right balance of challenge and support?

  
  

4. Avoiding Costly Mistakes

Signing up for the wrong program can lead to wasted time, money, and a discouraged child. I can recall a time when i had my child signed up for a course where the teacher kept cancelling the class leading to a highly demotivated child. Our expertise ensures you invest in a program that nurtures confidence, skill-building, and long-term math success.

5. Ongoing Support & Adjustments

Children’s learning needs evolve. What works today might not be effective six months from now. Parent Genie continues to support you by monitoring progress and recommending adjustments when necessary.
