Individual Online Instruction and Tutoring Now Available in CAHSEE Math Prep
Individual online instruction and tutoring from superbly qualified instructors are now available from PersonalProfessors.com to any CA high school student struggling with the CAHSEE test.
(PRWEB) August 20, 2006 -- With the recent legal decision upholding the requirement that CA high school students pass the high school exit exam, the PersonalProfessors online instruction and tutoring system adds the CAHSEE math section to their content.
The PersonalProfessors (www.PersonalProfessors.com) model of online learning is one that focuses on personal interaction with students and expert instruction rather than the text content that is typical of other online learning systems. Students struggling with the CAHSEE math section will now be able to work directly with superbly qualified instructors, specifically tackling the math concepts covered in the test.
Dr. Michael Hosking, founder of PersonalProfessors and former faculty member at Davidson College, a top-ten national liberal arts college, has designed the PersonalProfessors system, which also provides courses in CA Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Trig/Precalc and Biology, to recreate the individual and personal attention students receive from professors at elite small colleges. He notes that "It is clear that for those students who are struggling with the math section of the CAHSEE test, text content- whether from a textbook or worksheet- is not proving sufficient for them to learn the material. They need individualized attention and real instruction, and that is what we provide with our whiteboard and voice instruction and our live online tutoring sessions. There is no substitute for a subject area expert working directly with a student".
This year, over 40,000 students failed the CAHSEE test and were thus denied a high school diploma. With PersonalProfessors and their focus on using the Web to provide instruction and tutoring rather than text content, these students, and this years next cohort, have a tremendous opportunity to learn the math material and pass the test.
