Children who struggle with math may benefit in more than one way from working with a tutor. Not only will one-on-one tutoring teach kids better, improving their scores, but it also reduces anxiety. A study of 8-year-olds, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, suggest that tutoring calms the fear circuitry in the brain. “The most exciting aspect of our findings is that cognitive tutoring not only improves performance,” says Stanford’s neuroscientist Vinod Menon, the study’s senior author, “but is also anxiety-reducing.”
