Math-Only Learning Center to Open in Bath Beach/Bensonhurst

“American schools change topic about every two weeks,” Khavinson says. “So they just studied the last topic, and then they’re onto a different one the next day. So if you were to ask them to explain the topic, they could explain quickly, but need time to comprehend.”

RSM programs are systematic and based on mathematical practices taught in the former Soviet Union and are still currently taught in Europe, according Masha Rifkin, marketing specialist for RSM. The program also focuses on providing elementary school students an early introduction to algebra.

“Each new concept is derived from knowledge that students previously mastered,” Rifkin says. “This means that they actually understand new concepts, rather than simply memorizing them, and this method also develops critical thinking skills as well as deep mathematical knowledge.”

“To learn successfully, students need to love mathematics,” Khavinson says. “Developing enjoyment in problem solving is our major goal. We are very proud of our students, of their intellectual curiosity, and deep math knowledge.”

Enrollment registration is available for programs beginning Oct. 1.

The school is located in Elite Academy of Science & Technology in Bath Beach/Bensonhurst.
