A Very Nice Improvement

I was looking over the test results of one of my students today, with the school year almost complete. Because this is an elementary school child, the marks from unit tests have by far the most weight, as contrasted with the high school experience in which final exams come into play. For this particular individual, who last year (before getting tutoring) was a solid B student in Math, I discovered that 12 different test results in the 2009/10 academic year yielded an average of 90%! In other words, a jump of about 15% has been realized in the span of a single year. That's the sort of thing that makes a Math tutor's day!
