Mind Over Math: A Math Tutor's Guide for Teachers, Parents and Students

On whom do we place responsibility for mathematics education? Mr. Richard Skinner - a long time mathematics tutor - delves into the major issues he has observed in his tenure; from teachers and parents who are the mentors and bridges to learning, to the students who must work hard to achieve.

With a casual and easy-to-understand style, Skinner draws from his experience to answer:

* How do teachers' relationships with students affect their understanding of math?

* How does negative influence from teachers and parents affect the mathematical learning process?

*What can students do to overcome some of the biggest hurdles in learning math?

With several personal accounts of the learning and mentoring process, Mind Over Math serves to make the vital process between teachers, parents, and students something that people can care about.
