The Metis Mathematics program aims to:
Provide homework help, review lessons, and additional practice that accommodates what the student is learning in school
Learn new areas of math in advance (i.e., get introduced to materials taught in school 1 or 2 years ahead of their current grade)
Study and practice challenging problems with informative lessons that will explain the newly taught concepts in detail
The curriculum will differ based on the tutee's grade and how well they do on the diagnostic exam at the start of the tutoring season.
