Our model addresses the areas that the public school system simply cannot. Small class sizes, which allow for individual instruction make the learning environment better suited for learning. In addition, we do not only show students how to perform calculations, we teach students the theory behind the mathematics, and more importantly, we teach them how to use specific, math-based, problem solving strategies. These are explicitly taught during each session, which greatly solidifies understanding and helps prepare students to become independent learners.

The Thinking Principles are the core of our teaching methodologies. They are learning strategies that can be used across all grade levels and subject areas. Think "Less is More." Instead of having students learn unique ways to solve a variety of problems, we provide them with approximately 12 learning strategies that can be applied across a large area of Mathematics, reducing the need to learn individual methods for individual problems. The Thinking Principles are also backed by cognitive research through the works of scholars such as Schoenfeld, Mason, Burton & Stacey and Yackel & Cobb.

At Elevated Mathematics, we believe in having students undergo a healthy amount of struggle. In a group setting, although each student receives plenty of personalized attention, we also want them to work independently for portions of the hour — this independent work helps solidify their understanding of the material. Students also feel safe to ask questions in a group setting and, at times, work with each other to solve problems. Not only does this improve their understanding, but it also increases their confidence.

Students meet weekly for 1-hour sessions in small groups of no more than 4 grade or subject-alike students. Groups run in person around Saskatoon, Martensville, and Warman, or online anywhere in Saskatchewan.

Your curriculum is our curriculum. Students bring their school materials to each session and work on their current homework, assignments, or exam preparation, while our tutors close learning gaps as they arise.

Enrollment is monthly, with a flat fee paid on the first of each month covering four sessions. Fees are prorated for months with holidays or breaks, so you only pay for what you attend.
