What we actually do
Algebra fails students for one of two reasons: the arithmetic underneath is not automatic, or nobody ever explained what a variable is for. Both are fixable, and neither is fixed by re-teaching the same chapter louder. The diagnostic finds which one it is before any teaching happens.

Start with the foundation
Ellis Abel AI sits on top of the Ellis Abel Learns books, not beside them. The books teach the three habits every math learner runs on — owning a mistake, staying calm inside frustration, and trying while afraid. The tutor teaches the math. Your child gets both, and you get a dashboard that tells you which one is actually the problem this week.

Questions Sandy Springs parents ask
- Algebra 1 or Algebra 2?
- Algebra 1 in full. Algebra 2 topics are covered where they extend Algebra 1 concepts.
- My child can do the steps but does not understand why.
- That is procedural fluency without conceptual understanding, and it collapses in Algebra 2. It is worth fixing now.
- Do you cover graphing?
- Yes - linear functions, slope, intercepts, systems, and the connection between the equation and the picture.
