It's great your DD has someone to "play with" in math. DD really enjoys learning math with others too. One of the reasons she likes her tutor is that they have fun conversations about math. He is a double PhD so he definitely has the deep understanding kids like ours need. They won't follow someone who they aren't completely certain knows the path in the darkness way better than them!

Don't you love it when they finally get that mastering the unknown can be fun not daunting. That's definitely a prize above any grade.

I am wondering how shifrbv is getting on. Sorry if we hijacked the post a little but we hope you are hanging in there.
