Jan 2019 Mom of 3: ‘It REALLY, REALLY is helping already… me, for starters. It is amazing how little I recall and how challenging it is having my own math struggles but needing to help my kids! That is what I didn't count on so much - how much it helped ME!’ …………..‘We have jumped in. Seriously! We've worked while waiting on the ferry, waiting for a sibling’s guitar lesson to end, and at home. All three. One page at a time.  My 15 year old son said:  Wow, I can't believe that I didn't know that I was always mixing up the definition for Product....etc.  So this is going to be a critical aspect in terms of math reparations!’ ………………(and to sister in Alberta) ‘Please meet Laurie Beesting. Laurie is well known on Bowen as an exceptional tutor for kids that span all levels of school. She has created this resource which I really believe will be a game changer for you guys, too. It has been a win for us and we've turned it into a game at the supper table. In fact, there are a few things that can be done that turn into a bit of a competitive game. I thought the kids would begrudge the extra effort, but they do not. The book has been set up very clearly, one skill per page. At the moment, our pace is two pages per night on top of regular homework.’ – Andrea (parent)

‘My son was missing foundational math pieces that left him discouraged and confused. Laurie’s program filled those gaps and maybe more importantly built his confidence in math. He went from barely passing, to an easy A.’ – Sandra (parent)

‘My grades skyrocketed with these methods and my understanding of math deepened. I highly recommend not only for struggling students but anyone who wants to strengthen their basics. The skills Laurie provides are easy to follow and fun to learn.’ – Lucy (student)

‘We can't thank Laurie enough. She made a huge difference in our daughter's life.’ – NS (parent)

‘Laurie has helped me feel a lot more confident in my math skills. She has ways of helping me remember things that I usually forget in math, and she simplifies things so they are a lot easier to understand. She is a very good math tutor – she is the only person who has ever made me understand what is going on in math.’ – Adrienne (student)

‘Laurie has a keen understanding of how important it is for children to have a solid grasp of math fundamentals. She manages to help kids work through gaps in their knowledge, and have fun whilst doing it. I would highly recommend her book!’ – Liesl (parent)

‘Laurie has a systematic program which tests a student’s core knowledge skills and gives me confidence as a homeschooling parent that my child has a solid understanding of the math curriculum for his grade.’ – Elle (parent)

‘Laurie’s approach had my pre-teen son excited about math! As he conquered each skill, piece by piece, his confidence grew. The small successes added up to a big jump in his grades.’ – Sandra (parent)

‘We can recommend Laurie's approach wholeheartedly. She really helped our child gain confidence in her abilities and move up in grades.’ – Neil (parent)

‘Laurie has lots of tricks for advanced learners to keep the subject fresh and interesting.’ – EW (parent)

‘2 years later, I am still using the techniques Laurie taught me. Giving me all the small bits made it easy to put it together.’ – Troy (student)

‘Laurie has developed a systematic program to test a student’s core knowledge base, identify any weak spots, and provide focused learning in any flagged areas. The system is brilliant for advanced learners, as it allows them to progress quickly through material they already know, and keeps the student interested with fresh material.’ – EW (parent)

‘Laurie’s approach looked at math concepts from a different angle. This resonated with my son, as he step by step ‘got it’, his confidence grew along with his skills.’ – SH (parent)

‘Laurie's calm demeanour and simple, straightforward approach gave our daughter that extra something she needed to succeed in math.’ – NS (parent)

‘Our daughter needed help to keep her on track with math. Laurie was able to boost her confidence, and have her enjoy math too. A solid basis was formed on which she still builds.’ – AVW (parent)

‘Doing flash facts with Laurie is fun!’ – Max (student)
