Schools we support in Mountainside, NJ

Mountainside operates a small K-8 district with two schools: Beechwood School for preschool through grade 2 and Deerfield School for grades 3 to 8. For high school, Mountainside students cross into neighboring Berkeley Heights to attend Governor Livingston High School under a send-receive arrangement that dates to the school's opening in 1960. Our tutors work with Mountainside students across that full arc, from early reading at Beechwood through AP courses and SAT prep in the high school years.

Our learning-disability tutoring

Where math goes wrong, and how we fix it

These are the walls we see most often with New Jersey students, from elementary through high school.

The fraction wall (grades 3 to 5)

The fraction wall (grades 3 to 5)

What it looks like: Math was fine until fractions. Now homework ends in tears, and equivalent fractions, common denominators, and mixed numbers all feel like separate mysteries.

How our tutors help: Our tutors rebuild fraction sense with concrete models first: number lines, area models, and real objects, then connect them to the procedures. When a child can see why two fourths equals one half, the rules finally stick.

Math-fact fluency holding everything back

Math-fact fluency holding everything back

What it looks like: Your child understands the new material but runs out of time on tests because multiplication facts still require finger counting. Teachers call it a fluency gap.

How our tutors help: We build fluency in short, frequent bursts inside each session, using strategy-based practice rather than raw memorization. Facts anchored to strategies, like nine times anything is ten times minus one, hold up under test pressure.

Word problems: reading gets in the way of math

Word problems: reading gets in the way of math

What it looks like: Computation pages come back perfect, then multi-step word problems fall apart. Your child cannot tell which operation the problem is even asking for.

How our tutors help: Tutors teach an explicit translation routine: restate the question, name what is known and unknown, draw the model, then compute. It turns word problems from guessing into a repeatable process, which is exactly what NJSLA constructed-response items reward.

The pre-algebra jump (grades 6 to 8)

The pre-algebra jump (grades 6 to 8)

What it looks like: Negative numbers, ratios, and variables arrive at once in middle school, and a student who coasted through elementary math suddenly has a C. Confidence drops fast.

How our tutors help: We slow the abstraction down. Integers get number-line stories, ratios get tables and tape diagrams, and variables get introduced as unknown quantities the student already reasons about. The goal is walking into Algebra 1 ready instead of rattled.

Math anxiety and the blank-page freeze

Math anxiety and the blank-page freeze

What it looks like: Your child knows more than their grades show. On tests they freeze, rush, or leave work blank, then solve the same problems calmly at the kitchen table afterward.

How our tutors help: A patient teacher who normalizes mistakes changes the emotional math. Our tutors practice under gentle time pressure, teach students to start with what they know, and celebrate honest reasoning, so test day feels like practice instead of a verdict.
