They can calculate. They can follow a solution after someone explains it. They may even do well in school.
But when an SHSAT math problem is written in words, they freeze.
That does not always mean they are bad at math.
Sometimes it means they do not know how to enter the problem or what to write first.
My name is James Chun. I'm a Korean-American, Queens-raised Bronx Science graduate, and I work with SHSAT students who struggle with word problems, ratios, rates, and algebra setup.
I help students slow down, understand what the problem is asking, set it up clearly, and stop guessing.
I'm opening a few online spots for a 3-session SHSAT Math Setup Starter.
Includes:
3 online sessions
Setup-focused SHSAT math help
Word problems, ratios, rates, and algebra setup
Short parent recap

If your child is preparing for the SHSAT and gets stuck on math word problems, you can reply through Craigslist or text me.
