Why Supplemental Education?
Why would you want to provide your child with supplemental math education? As you have reached our website, you probably already have some ideas. But there are many benefits to supplemental education:
- Increases mastery of academic skills
Whether your child is doing well in school and you want to provide additional
material to help your child reach his potential, or you want help for your child
who is struggling with his current school material, supplemental education will help your child academically. The program is currently targeted to elementary school math and middle school math.
- Improves self-esteem and self-confidence
Once your child starts improving her skills, her confidence in herself and her
abilities will improve. This is a benefit that will help your child throughout
all areas of her life; at home, at school, with her friends, and in sports. You will see a positive change in your child and will love the result! Of course, this doesn't happen with supplemental education alone - as a parent you need to encourage your child and praise her as she works hard toward improving those skills.
- Individual instruction-lessons are tailored to individual students' learning styles and levels of understanding
SmartZoid will assess your child right at the beginning, and we will tailor her
instructional materials to meet her where she is. At school, sometimes children
feel left behind or bored. SmartZoid will find out what your child's skill level is, and help her build her skills from there. Therefore she will always feel like she is in the right place in her learning process.
- Instruction free of competition-students progress at their own pace
At school, many children feel like they must compete with the other students in the class
in order to be "cool" or liked by their teachers. Supplemental education brings
your child a competition-free environment, where he can learn at his own pace.
Each child learns differently, in different ways, as well as on different
timelines. What takes one child five minutes to learn could take another child five
days. SmartZoid helps your child progress when he is ready, not just when his
teachers or classmates are ready.

"My kids tried SmartZoid when it was a new thing. After watching them use it for a few months, I found SmartZoid to be a nice blend of modern and traditional teaching and learning techniques. My kids really like to work on SmartZoid. They have been using SmartZoid for more than six months, and I can clearly see the improvement and strengthening of their skills in mathematics."

"My son always loves to sit at the computer and play video games. It was tough for me to get him to practice his mathematics using paper and pencil. SmartZoid came to the rescue. My son has been using SmartZoid for the last few weeks... he loves it! And, he does it on his own!"
