Mind Over Math

“I went from a 44% last year to an 84% this year! ‘MIND OVER MATH’ has helped me an incredible amount and I am way ahead of the class. Until now, I never thought I could actually succeed in math.”
-Ally N, Student

“Mind Over Math is a sure cure for math phobia.”
-Marva T, Mother

“Since being in ‘Mind Over Math’ I have found that I understand math a lot more than I did before and my marks have gone up. It has really made a positive difference for me. It is great to work with Kevin Downe because he is interested in various sports and therefore is able to relate it to my favourite sport. If you want to succeed in math and have fun at the same time, ‘MIND OVER MATH’ is the key to your success.”
-Scott M, Student

“Mind Over Math was great. It really helped me improve my marks in math and physics. The student to tutor ratio is very good and allows the tutors time to help everyone when they need it. The tutors really seem to enjoy teaching math and are happy to help you if you have a problem. If asked, I would definitely recommend Mind Over Math to someone struggling with their math marks. ”
-Brian M, Student

“Mind over math was extremely beneficial to my children! Jaime is no longer afraid of it, and Rory actually grew to enjoy it. That was incredible. Way to go to you and your team! See you in the fall.”
-Susan G, Mother

“Hello Mind Over Math:

Well, you and your team did it. Math has gone from something to be endured to something that he looked forward to.

Alex went into his finals, comfortable and informed. He said there were a few things that he missed. Next math semester, the van will be on remote…we can’t thank you enough!!! His tutor challenged him, used humour, and got the mechanism of math through in an understandable fashion. Your other tutor filled the gap on days we needed additional flexibility, send him our thanks

I am telling everyone about you, and your team…..thank you for meeting such a huge need, at an affordable price. We look forward to working with you soon.”
-Wayne & Mary B, Parents

“Hi, this is Lindsey C. I took your calculus exam review. I amjust letting you know that my math mark increased from 66% to 76%!! I amvery pleased with your program, and I will recommend it to everyone! Thanksso much!”
-Lindsey C

“Good Evening Kevin;

We are extremely pleased with the quality and commitment behind your business and the approach you take. Our family appreciates it.

Here is a testimony from Bethany……..

‘Mind over Math is awesome. I’m in Grade 9 advance math and was a little worried that Iwouldn’t be able to keep up. Not only am I keeping up, but I’m getting a solid A in mathand feel very confident. Thanks to Mind Over Math and the tutors for helping me do my best.’”
-Neal G, Father

“Dear future students,

My son is taking grade 12 calculus. His teacher is terrific, but he has learned that 90 minutes of class time, learning something new every day, is simply not enough for a non-math student to excel in calculus. What Mind Over Math does is reinforce the classroom learning with much needed one-on-one teaching. The math tutors are able to address specific challenges for individual students, and help them learn at their own speed. My son may never have a 95 average in calculus, but because of Mind Over Math, he is achieving the highest math grades he has ever had in his high school career.

My daughter is in grade 9, and math used to be her worst subject. She decided to enroll in Mind Over Math simply because her older brother was going, and she could tag along. Before long, math became her favourite subject, and she no longer went to class worried about upcoming tests. This program helped give her confidence in her own abilities, and her grades have steadily risen since she first started the program. This is a program that really works.”
-Susan G

“Hi Kevin,

Just wanted to let you know that my grandaughter’s math went from 63% to 80% on her final report card. We are very pleased with the result and want to thank you for having this program and for the dedication of your staff.”
-Josie M

“Hi Kevin,
I want to express my thanks and gratitude for the great help that you gave to Elizabeth in her last term of grade 12- by the way- she did very well in her finals!

Again- thank you all for always being professional and accomodating as well as providing Elizabeth with such high quality tutoring.

Please pass this on to your team.”
-Lynne and Elizabeth

Article: www.simcoe.com/article/150415

The gentleman who sells me toner, offered to sell me a used printer for $200. I know that printers can get expensive, but I didn’t really want to spend $200 on a used printer especially when I had a printer already.

The thing about this printer is the toners print 10,000 pages! The cost per toner is $100. This gives me a cost of printing per page of 1 cent.

What I wanted to decide was, at what point would I break even.

Here is where I used Grade 9 math:

• What I didn’t know is how many pages I was going to print, so I called that x.
• The cost to print with my current printer was 2.5 cents times the number of pages or 0.025x (in dollars)
• The cost to print with the new printer would be 1 cent times the number of pages plus the $200 OR 0.01x + 200
• So, what I needed was when these two expressions would be equal.
• 0.025x = 0.01x+200
• 0.025x-0.01x=0.01x-0.01x+200
• 0.015x=200
• x=200/0.015
• x=13,334 pages

Now, the question is will I print 13,334 pages???

For me, since we print a lot of exam reviews for the students and everything else for the business, I knew that yes I would.  Add on to that the benefit of not having to replace the toner all the time, and the decision was EXTREMELY easy.

After I did the math that you see above, I determined that the gentleman that was offering to sell me a printer, was actually offering to GIVE me a printer.  Math made the decision easy.

If I were someone else, who doesn’t do a lot of printing, and I didn’t do that math, I may have been tempted to buy it because I can see that I would be saving quite a bit per page.

I mentioned this to some of my students, some of the adult students, and they said, “Well that is easy for you because you are so good at math, we can’t use it everyday”

Notice what I mentioned before the calculations:  This is a Grade 9 math question, it isn’t Calculus or second year Physics.
