Best Math Tutors in Alexandria, VA

Eye Level is a global supplementary education provider that has spent the last 45 years devising programmes that enable children to become independent problem solvers and critical thinkers. We use our award-winning curriculum to offer personalised instruction through self-directed learning and one to one coaching. Most of our students are aged 4-16 years old who attend classes at our learning centres or online via On Air.

The most important role of an Eye Level Instructor is to get to know your child and to closely observe how they approach learning and to act on those signals. Each centre has thousands of pages of material to choose from and because we believe in ability led rather than age led education they will decide on work that enables them to be challenged and to be stretched without tipping back into a place where they are seeking help and reassurance from an adult. This is all about becoming an independent learner by building strong foundations and study skills before applying new learning blocks in a very systematic and logical way. Over time the child will learn to use the workbooks and 1-1 coaching time to best effect and so although we can teach and do teach it is a last resort rather than the first step. Our students are resourceful, resilient and hard-working but they know they have our full support and the individualised nature of what we do develops the student in a completely different way.

The Eye Level maths programme is designed to cover all the requirements of the curriculum from Reception through to the start of year 12. It comprises 32 levels with over 14,000 pages of material which would take a student 3-4 years to complete if working straight through it. It is put together in very small steps that enables children to study and master maths in a logical and linear way. We have purposefully split the curriculum into two separate components which children work through at different speeds. Our Basic Thinking (BTM) covers number, arithmetic and measurement and deals with pure maths. Our Critical Thinking (CTM) covers patterns, relationships, geometry, problem solving, reasoning and probability and deals with applied maths. All students whether in class or online use physical workbooks and teaching tools to complete the programme.

The Eye Level British English programme was revised to complement the curriculum and our instructional teams worked in partnership with Cambridge University Press to build a set of materials that comprises 14 levels with over 9,000 pages of exercises with another 12 levels of the writing programme that compliments and works alongside the reading books. Every book is in full colour and beautifully presented and like the maths would take 3-4 years to complete from start to finish. The curriculum is designed to cover all necessary skills in phonics, grammar, comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, reading and writing. By the end children will have become critical readers and be able to write pieces of narrative, opinion, research and informational pieces preparing them for higher study at GCSE, A Level and University. All students use physical materials regardless of delivery method.

At Eye Level we timeslot attendance at our physical and online classes in order to ensure we are fully prepared for each student and have the opportunity to complete everything properly on the day including the 1-1 coaching. However, we understand that sometimes things happen or children get ill for a few days and are not at their best. In these circumstances we will always try to find a replacement or alternative class for you within the same week. If your circumstances completely change we can of course change your allocated class day/time.
