take interest in teaching them.

of course first you have to learn. mana desham la kadu.

Its very easy to learn on the fly looking at their notes and teaching methods in their text books ..

Kumon helped my kid in English. I did not put in Math as I dont like mugging up techniques. But now I repent. I should have put her in math. 

These math academies are good for some kids but we have to keep track of kids how they are doing. I tried these but it did not work well. So I took it upon myself for a couple of years and realized the basics where my kid is going wrong. all other subjects A's and now even math is A.

These Academy's run initially well but due to attrition good tutors are replaced with sub-standard ones who do more damage.

A simple technique I use while teaching math is - I ask my kid to solve one of the problems. I say don't worry about right or wrong. Just do based on what they teched you in school. Once done, I look at it and even if its wrong, I say gimme Hi-Fi, good job. Then ask her to explain how they got the answer.

1. Kids give honest answers and willing to learn when they are not stressed. No yelling.

2. When they are explaining, I understand how teachers are explaining their methods (which are quiet different from ours) so that we adopt same things while explaining. 

3. When they are explaining, you will clearly understand where they went wrong. Do not correct them when they are explaining. 

Now you know where they went wrong. It could be simple basics like addition/subtraction/fractions, etc. So i try to fix them by explaining that topic and give them a few simple problems to fix it. Now I ask them to do the original problem again. 

Repeat the process until they get it right. Patience is the key here. Strictly no yelling. If you are losing patience take a break. Ask wife to monitor your actions once in a while and ask to intervene if your tone is getting aggressive.

Do you teach math to your kids? Teaching techniques are different in US schools. I have realized we have to take personal interest, sending them to tuitions, math academies has not been useful. 

Math teach chesthaanu.. but English chala kastam.. my kid is behind in English.. not able to find someone good to help him.. they are way too expensive.. 

summer lo khan academy courses cheyinchaanu.. he does Abacus too.. English manam cheppedi vallaki ardham kaadu.. and too much of comprehension needed.. 

every grade and subject has a teacher guide.. teachers as it is ade follow avthaaru.. Facebook market place lo ammutaaru, check cheyyi..

English is tough. Being in Kumon from age 5-9 helped my kid a lot. Luckily No issues in school for it. I have to see how they do in algebra 2. But they got used to leaning on other students and helping themselves. Fingers crossed. Otherwise I will look into teacher guides.
