Why Math is Different from Other Subjects?

Math is a kind of universal language of the world. Math subject is unique, you have to know previous grades' knowledge to continue to the next grade. Not like other subject; Math is a linear learning process. What is used one day is used the next, and so forth. (In other subjects you can learn chapter 2 and not 3 and do okay on 4. In math, you must understand the material in chapter 1 before you go on to chapter 2.)

Finally, in math, each concept is related in some ways to other concepts. Although it seems hard to imagine, there is a mathematical universe in which all the concepts fit together in some way. For example, the study of geometry and algebra can be related. That is why it's important to use different areas of math together to solve problems rather than seeing these areas as totally discrete, or separate.

NallPro's mission is to help every student improve their understanding of concepts and problem-solving skills in math and become more successful. NallPro attempts to fix student’s math issues permanently; not just getting good marks only for one time.



How to check your kid’s math knowledge?

The best way to check your kid's Math Knowledge; just print one of the previous EQAO Exam; give him/her 1-2 hrs. to do, without any help.

  • For Grade 4 & 5 – Do Grade 3 EQAO.
  • For Grade 7 & 8 – Do Grade 6 EQAO.
  • For Grade 9 & 10 – Do Grade 9 EQAO. (Note: Grade 9 EQAO 80% of the questions are from Grade 6, 7 and 8)

If your kid gets 90% or above, your kid MATH level is okay. (If your kid gets less than 90% you have to take this issue little seriously now; because your kid is doing one or two grade less than his/her current level.)


Ontario Ministry of Education Mathematics Curriculum:
If you look very carefully at the Ontario Ministry of Education Mathematics Curriculum Guidelines, each school year there is about 20% new material and 80% previous stuff. Here what I’m try to say is, first understand Math then start do some exercises 100% correct; Math is straightforward.

Nearly 40 weeks School, 20 sections, 16 based on previous, 4 new sections

Other Best way check your kid’s math knowledge.

There are many math contests happening in Ontario each year.

For examples:

  • Waterloo Mathematics Contests
  • Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge (COMC)
  • Kangaroo math contest and
  • Tamil Academy Math contest, etc.
what are the Differences Between NallPro and School Math Studies? Parent must understand reality about your Kids' Education!

if you focus on results, you will never change.

If you focus on change, you will get results.

Students must establish deep knowledge in Math from Grade 1 to 8; otherwise it is difficult to study, High school Math with with knowledge and Good Marks !
NallProSchool
Teaching Method
  • One to One Teaching takes place directly between each student and the teacher. No Classroom Intimidation!
  • Spent more than 24 years structured, NallPro's MATH Course for each Grade! [Refer to a lot of Textbooks, IB/IBT/AP, High School and University Textbooks]

  • For each Grade NallPro has created 1,500 to 2,000 Worksheets and Notes – At least 500 different types of Worksheets.

  • 1 to 25/30 Students
  • Just one Textbook/Workbook is use by most schools

  • In IB/IBT/AP schools refer to more than one Textbook/Workbook

  • They may buy worksheets from Third-Partys.

Curriculum / Syllabus

  • If time permitted, NallPro will finish All. (Definitely Need 2 classes per week)

  • 3 Levels of Teaching:
    • Level 1: Fill in foundational gaps – Previous Grade’s Basic MATH (Must need for next levels)

    • Level 2: Understand current concepts – Going with School Work.

    • Level 3: Move ahead in the curriculum – Prepare for the Next Grade Level

  • 1 Class/Week – Always study Level 1 and Level 2 (No time to finish even Level 2)

  • 2 Classes/Week – Always study Level 2 and Level 3 (Try to complete the Curriculum)

  • Please see the "Ontario Education Mathematics Curriculum
    (Grade 1 to 8)
  • According to my knowledge & previous experience - more than 24 years (At the same period of time NallPro teachs from Grade 1 to University), more than 1,950 Students from so many different schools/district.


  • Most of regular schools only finishe 60%-80% of the school Curriculum each year.


  • Some mix Grades; not even finished 50% of the Curriculum.


  • Please see the "Ontario Education Mathematics Curriculum
    (Grade 1 to 8)
Teacher(s) / Experience

  • Officially more than 24 years with NallPro - Since Oct. 19, 1999.

  • 5 years with Toronto School Board.

  • NallPro teacher teachs from Grade 1 to University at the same period of time.

  • Even though, I have 3 Engineering Degrees/Diplomas, so many Certifications and I worked with more than 15 well-known Companies with IT experience, but I feel happier to teach Math.
  • Maximum 5 to 10 years - Moved to next Level; none of the teachers have the same Level of teaching for a long time.

  • School teachers may teach 1 or 2 even 5 Math classes in a regular school year.

  • Most of them has one degree (three-year postsecondary degree from an acceptable postsecondary institution)
Results / Opinion

  • NallPro reveals that the truth always WINS!

  • Tell about Student(s) face to face. (first quality of being honest.)

  • Some parents/students don’t like the truth/reality; they want only temporary happiness! - NallPro is not going to lie about your kids (students). Telling the Truth and making someone realize their problem, is better than, telling a Lie and making someone Fake Happy!

  • Parents must understand the reality about their Kids Education! NallPro cannot do any magic:[There are No Shortcuts to Success] Anybody can study MATH, only if he/she spends time with focus!

  • If your kid is not disturbing others in the class; he/she is very good student. It does not mean that they are academically good!

  • If your kids get around 70% (or B) 3 times repeatedly; your kid is 1 year behind in the math study level.

  • On the Reports cards Parents should look for ESL/IEP etc.

  • Please always check your kid’s School Rating.
    Compare the academic performance of your child's school

Avoid Pampering Your Kids | Positive Discipline

  • Strengthen Your Child's Confidence in Math; when he/she is in early Grades 1 to 8; From my 29 + years of Canadian Practical Teaching Experience with over 1950 Students.

  • Sit down with your child and read and explain ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ "Differences Between Winners and Losers" ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ when he/she is in early age.

Why some students needs to spend more than 50% time for learning MATH?


  • In Math most of the questions are looking for students' previous cumulative MATH Knowledge! Not like the others Subjects. (Unlike a lot of other subjects, there is no room for error when it comes to math; There’s only right and wrong)

  • Also if a student knows proper knowledge in MATH, it's easy to study all others subjects. This is practically proved with many of NallPro's previous students, current students and myself.

  • I personally know many students who only take NallPro Tuition and properly study, they understand MATH.Some of these students are number one in their classes, and Achieved Honors Roll for most of the subjects.

  • Note that if a student is going to study Engineering at University, in Grade 12 he/she has to take 3 MATH subjects out of 6 subjects. (Physics is upto 80% Math and Chemistry is upto 50-60% Math) Again more than 50% of study is MATH.

  • Math is not difficult to learn; but you must follow the right way to do, step by step, and it takes time. There are No Shortcuts to learn Math. Anybody can study MATH, only if he/she spends time with focus!

What’s the difference between 2 classes per week and 1 class per week students at NallPro?

  • The most obvious difference in taking 2 classes per week for students: more than double amount of studies (More Knowledge Gaining in MATH), with less than double amount fee! .

    Some Misconception; Only weak students take 2 classes per week. No, absolutely Not! Some even get 100% and some of them get close to 100% of Marks in Math are still coming to 2 Classes in a week; they are always studying one or two Grades higher than their school level. (NallPro’s Level 3 Students: Please see some of their school Report Cards)


    In NallPro's History, only smart Students/Parents always take 2 Classes in a week! Even some students skip Grades, because these students are always studying one or two Grades higher than his/her school level (NallPro’s Level 3 Students)

      NallPro’s worksheets check - within 2-3 Days and return; Updating Learning issue faster.
          If you come to 1 class in a week; it's takes 14 days to return.


  • Why 2 classes are better for most of the students? (In Math most of the question are looking for student's previous cumulative MATH Knowledge!)
    ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ Please See Next and Read⬇ ⬇ ⬇


  • NallPro cannot do any magic:[There are No Shortcuts to Success] Anybody can study MATH, only if he/she spends time with focus!

    • Some students Definitely Need a Minimum of 2 Classes in a Week to Understand MATH! Some students can't even tell clearly "what Topics (sections) he/she studying at school"!

      • Also NallPro teacher has difficult time with students, who cannot tell what Topics (sections) he/she is studying at school; because teacher cannot teach with Ontario Ministry of Education Mathematics Curriculum Guidelines.

      • Many Students/Parents went through all Franchise Tuition Centers (Spent more than double, triple amount of money). Eventually they come to NallPro and Parents/Students want to fix all MATH issues (2 to 3 Grades), while spending a little amount of money with a little amount of time (1 Class/week). How is this even possible?

      • Some students with C and D in ESL/IEP (Some low Rating Schools with A/B's) come to NallPro, without knowing basic Math knowledge (2 or 3 Grades) blow their level, and expect to fix all issues (2 to 3 Grades) within 1 or 2 months (1 Class/week);. How is this even possible?

Why Grade 6, 7 and 8 need full understanding is very important for High School MATH?

In High School Math most of the questions are looking for student's previous cumulative MATH Knowledge!

Most of the Middle Schools, teach one Topic (Chapter) for every 2 weeks; give Test/Exam, then students fails to recall again, in High School most of the questions involved cumulative MATH Knowledge. (Maybe you have experience or heard that many Middle School students get good marks, but in high school these students' marks drop they or fail!)

    Ontario Most of the School from Grade 3 to Grade 8 as follows:
    Nearly 40 weeks School, 20 Topics (sections), 16 based on previous, 4 new sections

    Usually at school every 2 weeks one Topic (Chapter) is taught; school teacher teaches previous year first, if all the students understand, then they move to the current Level, in that class most of students are too weak, they cannot move to the next Level. So again and again they study only previous year(s) sections.

    Most regular schools only finish 60%-70% of the school Curriculum each year; because each class has 25 to 30 students and also they already filtered out all the good ones (Gifted Students, IB Students, IBT Students and AP Students).

    Note: If you are IB/IBT/AP student and your marks are less than 80%, it's not worth to study in these Programmes!


NallPro recommends some Students/Parents/Guardians, need more Knowledge in MATH, while in Middle Schools: They were not listening to NallPro at that time. Later they are going Realize about this, but at that time is going to be too late!!!

NallPro is not going to lie about your kids (Students)
Telling the Truth and making someone Realize the Reality is better than, telling a Lie and making someone Fake Happy!
Mythology and Misconception in the Math Studies: Parents must understand the reality about the their Kids' Education!

There's a lot of mythology and misconception in the Math studies; Unfortunately some parents think, that if their kids are doing 1,000's of similar questions quickly without understanding the concept and with mistakes, he/she is going to be the best in Math; they look at only the Quantity not the Quality of studies. Which exam or test asks about how many questions or sheets student has done in the past?

  • In past experience, after NallPro's class some parents asked their kid(s); how many sheets did you do today? (Sheets or number of questions are not Studies, understand the concept of Studies).

  • Instead of asking how many sheets did you do today; ask your kid(s), what did you learn today? Do you understand the concepts? Etc.

  • Which exam or test asks about how many questions or sheets student has done in the past?

  • I had a lot of past students confirm their experience, whichever student is doing NallPro’s HW 100% correctly, in school, on all Tests or Exams those get 100%. [see some of Student Report Cards]. These students are not doing 1,000's of similar questions.

Some of you still believe that, Big Branded Name and those who Charge More Money in Big Commercial Building Tutoring Centre are good, they have not checked their kids End Results (Gaining knowledge in Math).

Some students called these places “Easy Tuition”. [Of course, by not going with the school’s Curriculum (syllabus), most of the students get the same worksheets again and again, so Easy for them to do.]



      These places are Franchise Tuition Centers; anyone can run these kinds of centers, if you pay the Franchise fee!
      Some of NallPro students have worked there before, few of them are still working at these places.

      Some of you that disagreeing with me; you can research yourself!

      I personally proved many students [ Approximately 550 to 600 students, last 24+ years ] who came from these types of places, they studied many years there; But they don’t have any basic Math knowledge, Even they don’t have any patience to read, what the question is saying! NallPro tested many of them. (How to check your kid’s math knowledge? see above)
About University or Higher studies:

If you are not taking studies as seriously now, forget about it at University or Higher studies. You may have heard a lot of students go to Universities; do you know how many of them get the Degree? In Ontario Universities 60% of students dropout from 1st year to 2nd year; or change their career plan (Enter into other degree programs rather than leave higher education). Overall, engineering drop out rates are slightly higher than other degree programs. There are 3 main reasons.

    1. If you're cumulative average is less than 60% in 1st year.
    2. If you failed 2 or more course in one semester.
    3. If you failed a major course.

Note: To graduate with the four year Honours B.Sc. degree, your cumulative average must be 70% or higher.

Causes and Effects:
Engineering program dropout rates depend strongly on how much of a mathematics background the student has. Inability to handle the course load in calculus, statistics or linear algebra is the leading academic cause listed.

Academically Challenged Like Never Before:
Psychological triggers are another cause of students dropping out. For many students in engineering programs, this is the first time they’ve ever been seriously academically challenged. For a straight-A student, failing an exam, or failing a class and having to take it a second time can be a crushing blow to their academic self-confidence, and cause them to re-think their major. Related to both of these factors is the overall workload for an engineering degree. While the standard rule for a college degree program is that each hour of classwork will result in two hours of homework, the ratio for engineering degree programs is closer to four-to-one.

Planning To Succeed In Engineering:
The first thing a student interested in an engineering degree program should do is focus heavily on mathematics and preparing for the degree. Take as many math classes as you can; mathematics is the barrier to success for most first-year engineering students. The second tip is to spend your first two semesters taking a lighter load of classes. It’s better to take your first two semesters of calculus with your general degree requirements classes balancing the load than with your classwork on general engineering course. It’s important to remember most students drop out within their first year due to excessive workload. Be honest with your expectations. The average college student ends up taking an extra year to complete a four year degree, and it’s only by extending the window to six years that 60% graduation rates happen in most cases. For an engineering degree, assume that you’re going to be in for the long haul and doing this on a five years or six years plan, and plan accordingly. This includes factoring in an extra 12 months of financial commitment. While engineering school dropout rates are higher than most, the challenges of an engineering degree can exceed those similar degree programs which for many is what makes an degree in engineering an attractive proposition to begin with.

About Calculator:

NallPro does NOT recommend using a Calculator until High School. It’s also good practice for their future studies. I have some students in High School and they are not allowed to use a Calculator for any Tests or Exams.

I studied at University of Ottawa and University of Toronto; I’m 100% sure that at most good Universities in mathematics, you are not allowed to use a Calculator for any Tests/Exams.

Nowadays also, some High Schools are not allowed to use a Calculator for any Tests or Exams. In some High Schools, if he/she does not use a Calculator for a Tests/Exams; they get the bonus marks.

Honesty is the best policy: Respect Your Education:

If you don’t have good establishment in Math from Grade 1 to 8; it's difficult to study High school Math.(Especially for students in Grade 6, 7 and 8, they need to fully understand MATH, for High School MATH. In High School Math most of the questions are looking for students' previous cumulative MATH Knowledge!)

I already went thought some issues with High school’s students, it's too hard to explain the Math Basic. For example when you know one language it is easy to translate, if you don’t know any language it will take a lot time to study from A, B, C and so on…

    Student’s odd mistake #1:
    From Grade 1 to 8, if a student use a Calculator with NallPro’s homework; what is the point of doing the homework? (NallPro does NOT recommends using a Calculator until High School.)

    Student’s odd mistake #2:
    Some students just do a few questions, then write a random number for the rest of the questions; then they tell their parents did the Homework.

    Student’s strange mistake #3:
    Student says “I did the Homework, but left the homework sheets at my Home!” (Then what is the point of coming to NallPro?)


If you are doing the above mistakes #1, #2 or #3 you are doing following:
  • 1st you are cheating yourself and wasting your time; By copying answers from the Calculator or randomly writing wrong answers, what kind of knowledge are you gaining?

  • 2nd cheating your parents and wasting their money (not only the tuition fee, also Gas and mostly their precious time).

  • 3rd cheating your teacher and wasting the teacher’s time. NallPro also spends time to do correction for your wrong answers.

About NallPro's Worksheets and Homework: Why is it worth to do?

Helps develop your understanding of what was taught in class and provides a foundation for the next lesson. It is important that you complete each sheet with 100% correct answers on time. (NallPro recommends you to spent 2-4 hrs per week with NallPro's homework)

  • You have one week to do your HW (168 Hours).
  • You can look at any Notes or Books with examples.
  • You can get a lot of help from anybody.
  • You can do it as many times as you want.
  • You can check if the answers are right! (NallPro demonstrates students, how to check their answers 100% accurately)

    • If he/she can’t get 100% correct anwers on NallPro’s HW; How is it possible for that student to get good grades on a test or exam?
      Because time is limited, questions are different, you can’t get any help and you can’t see any book?
    • I had a lot of past students confirm their experience, students who complete NallPro’s HW 100% correly, in school those students get 100% on all their Tests/Exams.
    • NallPro’s HW result always matches with the school one; because NallPro always asks, what is the chapter (section) he/she is studying at school? Then NallPro gives the worksheets, according to what he/she is studying at school.

Tips for Success in Mathematics:

      1. Pay attention in class at school and at NallPro. You're not going to get any better at math if you don't listen or if you don't know what's going on.

      2. Extra notes: Write as many extra notes in your notebook as required to make sure that you understand!

      3. Ask many questions. If you don't understand something, ask the teacher. You're not going to suddenly understand it by staring at the problem. If you don't want to ask a teacher, ask a friend.

      4. Seek math help. Always Available online, books, etc.

      5. When doing your homework try to re-read your class notes and examples. This helps commit the concepts to long-term memory. Continue to reference your notes and re-read as much as possible to aid in the long term memory development.

      6. Memorize your multiplication tables. This is crucial for mastering arithmetic.

      7. Try to understand what you are doing. Don't just "plug and chug" – think about what you are doing and why!

      8. Be patient. This math stuff may not come to you right away.

      9. You cannot "cram" for math. It is all about understanding the work and then practicing!

      10. Be serious but don't worry to the point of anxiety. Fear alone can force a poor result! Prepare and relax!

Way to success:

Nowadays most kids want only success, without Dedication, Hard work, Good habits, Sacrifice, some Failure, and Persistence.

Believe in yourself and you will achieve great success! Only if you spend time to STUDY.

There is only one way to success. It’s called HARD WORK.

Success is dependent on EFFORT!



Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam said that "Without your involvement you can’t succeed. With your involvement you can’t fail".


Differences Between Winners and Losers:

Successful people are winners in our society. But what are the factors that make them so different from others? Winners operate in a totally different frame of mind compared to losers and that is why they always get the results that losers dream of. So read on for the list of 15 differences between winners and losers.

Differences Of Winners and Losers
WinnersLosers
1“When a winner makes a mistake, he/she says” “I was wrong.” “When a loser makes a mistake, he/she says” “It wasn’t my fault.”
2“A winner makes commitments.” “A loser makes promises.”
3“A winner works harder than a loser; and has more time.” “A loser is always “too busy” to do what is necessary.”
4“A winner says “Let’s find out.” “A loser says “Nobody knows.”
5“A winner knows what to fight for and what to compromise on.” “A loser compromise on what he/she shouldn’t, and fights for what isn’t worthwhile fighting about.”
6“A winner shows he/she is sorry by making up for it.” “A loser says “I’m sorry” but dose the same thing the next time.”
7“A winner would rather be admired than liked, although he/she would prefer both.”“A loser would rather be liked than admired and is even willing to pay the price of mild contempt for it.”
8“A winner listens.” “A loser just waits until it’s his turn to talk.”
9“A winner respects those that are superior to him and tries to learn something from them.”“A loser resents those that are superior to him and tries to find chinks in their armour.”
10“A winner takes a big problem and separates it into smaller parts so that it can be more easily manipulated.”“A loser takes a lot of little problems and rolls them together until they are unsolvable.”
11“A winner knows that people will be kind if you give them the chance.”“A loser feels that people will be unkind if you give them the chance.”
12“A winner focuses.”“A loser sprays.”
13“A winner tries never to hurt people and does so only rarely when it serves a higher purpose.”“A loser never wants to hurt people intentionally, but does so all the time without even knowing it.”
14"Winners try different strategies when they are not getting the results they want.""Losers do the same thing over and over again expecting different results."
15"Winners set goals.""Losers lack goals."

Level of Education in Ontario:

Please always check your kids' Report cards very carefully, do not only see their grades, also see their level and class’s median. If your kids get around 70% (or B) 3 times repeatedly; your kid is 1 year behind in their math study level.

The following table shows, where your kids standing. NallPro enjoys teaching all kind of students, such as; Gifted Students, IB Students, IBT Students, AP Students, Academic Students, Applied Students, Private School Students, ESL Students, IEP Students and Special Needs Students.



    Gifted IEP is Totally different than what it is above mentioned, IEP!
    An Individual Educational Plan (IEP) is a working document outlining what will be done to meet the needs of a student. ... If a child is identified as gifted by an Identification, Placement and Review Committee (IPRC), an Individual Educational Plan is required by regulation.

    Note: Most of the regular schools only finishe 60%-70% of the school Curriculum each year; because each class has 25 to 30 students and also they already filter out all the good ones (Gifted Students, IB Students, IBT Students and AP Students).

    Note Again: If you are a IB/IBT/AP student and your marks are less than 80%, it is not worth to studying these Programmes.



Please check your kid’s School Rating (Compare the academic performance of your child's school)


Compare the academic performance of your child's school

It takes Sometime: Anybody can study MATH, only if he/she spends time with focus!:

Some parents complain that their kid is very slow when doing Math; the answer to this question is, as long as he/she doing the questions correctly, it is good. Because if kids are doing questions quickly and make errors, they are not going to get the target.

Math Studies is not a short race, it is marathon. Math is like a foreign language. It must be practiced almost every day until you are familiar.

Some students (with C and D in ESL/IEP) come to NallPro, without knowing basic Math knowledge (2 or 3 Grades) blow their level, and expect to fix all their issues (3 to 4 Grades) within 1 or 2 months. How is this even possible? If anyone says to fix this type of issue within 1 to 2 months (1 class/week); they are the number one dishonest person. There are No Shortcuts to Success.

Behind the Successful Results





Nothing is Impossible:

Confidence and hard work are keys to improving your education! It is your responsibility to choose the right way, not the easy way!

Teaching is my passions

I discovered my passion for teaching early in my high school years; when I was in Grade 9, I started teaching Math for Grade 10 Students. When I was studying at PCI in Toronto, my school math teachers asked me to teach Math; then I worked with Toronto Board of Education from 1987 to 1991. Worked as a Student Tutor teaching Mathematics (Calculus, Functions, Algebra, etc.) Whenever I am free, I spend time improving my teaching (create new class Notes & Worksheets) and devolve NallPro.com. I believe in my self and I am a hard worker. I believe you will succeed if you’re hard working.

Even though, I have 3 Engineering Degrees/Diplomas, so many Certifications and I worked at more than 15 well-known Companies with IT experience, but I feel happier to teach Math.
