How does this math games app uncover a student's positive growth mindset? Read more to find out Julia's journey with Elephant Learning!
Even though Connor is an “amazing little man” only at age 12, issues with migraines and concentration made him fall behind in mathematics at school. His parents chose to homeschool him to catch him up but struggled to do so until they found Elephant Learning.
Connor’s inability to focus due to severe headaches forced his parents to pull him from the classroom and start homeschooling him. But even one-on-one attention was not doing the trick. Math anxiety and a pending ADHD diagnosis made learning at home even harder for the family.
Connor’s mom was inundated trying to run a household, work, and raise her other boy at the same time. She needed a platform to help Connor conquer mathematics in a way that wouldn’t trigger anxiety or migraines, as well as free up her time. After reading a review on Facebook, she decided to give Elephant Learning Math Academy a try.
