  • They are excelling in school and need more challenging tasks
  • You are no longer able to provide help with homework or learning
  • They have a learning disability

How many math tutoring sessions are needed?

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

What do private math tutors do?

"I highly recommend Mr. Eddie Nazzal and his tutoring services. He has helped me immensely in my high school Algebra II class, and increased my knowledge and understanding of the material. My grade went from a D to a B in only one quarter! Also, my speed and accuracy on tests improved, which is very important for the timed final exam that I take at the end of the year."
