Concept-based learning allows students to apply a single concept
to many different problems. At MathSP, our coaches use a novel
approach to teaching known as Concept-based Learning. A strong
understanding of foundational concepts is important to
performing well in any subject or standardized test. Our
students learn specific concepts and strategies then practice
working through sample questions that relate to a particular
concept or strategy. In MathSP tutoring sessions and test prep
courses, questions are grouped according to concept so that
students are able to grasp the consistencies between similar
problems. Students understand that if they are comfortable with
a finite number of concepts, then they are able to take their
knowledge of those concepts and apply it to an infinite number
of questions. No matter the question, our students are able to
identify the concept(s) tested and use the most effective
approach and strategy to solving that question. Advantages to
