San Diego Services: Come N Learn

Laughs aside, firstborn is showing extremely, impressive progress and fascination with his Maths now. Accolade and thanks to the program "Come N Learn".

Read all about " Come N Learn" right from the founder/ pro educator Ms. Geetha Narasimhan.

ComeNLearn’s Math Program

ComeNLearn is a unique supplemental education program designed for students in the grade range PreSchool to 12th grade. It helps students to excel in school. It also helps them to get ready for standardized tests like STAR, PSAT, SAT and ACT.

The education is based on Instruction in the classroom and Practice at home.

It helps develop Math expertise at a self-paced speed, through completing well-designed workbooks, spending 20-30 minutes each day.

Students attend two 30 minute classes per week and complete workbooks six days a week. (No work assigned for instruction day). Work is graded by instructors and/or assistant instructors. Parents need not grade.

Math workbooks contain both arithmetic and story problems*(*starting grade 2).

Math workbooks are also equipped with lessons and examples to enable self-learning and reinforce an independent work ethic.

Daily practice leads to solid understanding and competence in performing basic numerical operations.

Daily practice also leads to speed in solving numeric problems.

Instruction classes are taught by an experienced instructor. Here, students participate in an interactive session alongside other students in the same (or adjacent) work level. Students learn by seeing sample questions being solved and by answering verbal questions designed to increase understanding.

Story problems develop logical skills and help with application of numerical concepts learnt to do real problems.

Starting grade 2 there are many story problems along with numerical problems which help students learn logical concepts for problem solving in addition to arithmetic.

PSAT/ACT/SAT problems are occasionally included in the workbooks in gradual measure starting from grade level 4.

Each grade level has a Level Completion test. Students are expected to achieve 95% or better in the test to proceed to the next grade level.

Students can graduate to several grade levels higher than their current grade level at school as they progress in the program.

The Curriculum

ComeNLearn workbooks contain material designed to track the State of California School Syllabus and develop the students’ skills in tasks expected by the State of California curriculum for the various grades.

It is comprehensive in covering the type and range of problem solving expected of students in each grade level.

The material learnt in ComeNLearn is directly applicable to performance in school and in standardized tests.

Students start in the program based on performance in one or more level completion tests. No “artificially low” or “too easy starting point” will be required.

The fees

The program is designed to be very affordable. There is a startup/registration fee of $25. The monthly tuition ranges from $85- $110 per subject per student. The tuition is dependent upon the ComeNLearn grade level the student is in.
