Students can expect • A renewed level of confidence • Stronger foundational math knowledge • Higher passion for math learning • Higher grades (1 letter grade minimum increase for consistent clients) Most students struggle with math, thus I delight in seeing the confidence levels of students rise. That "aha" moment is a building block to inspiring students to want to learn more as their confidence levels rise. My vision is to expand my services to more students who struggle with math so they can reach the highest levels of success....

I experience tutoring consecutively for about 2-3 years, and I have helped many students bring their grades from failing to an A grade average. I also have experience with tutoring students with Asperger’s. I can tutor almost any math subject, along with paper writing, and basic sciences. I mainly tutor high school level and college level students.

Hi, my name is Sylvia, and I love working with students! Fun fact: I can recite every line of the movie The Princess Bride. Tutoring is most rewarding when a new concept “clicks” with a student - their excitement is contagious, and it’s a privilege to be able to help them reach that point! On a more personal level, I am a friendly, outdoorsy, athletic, and talkative type of person! I partner with students on a one-on-one basis in STEM subjects through SoFlo Tutors, my tutoring agency.

Hi there! My name is Kristen and I’d love to tutor kids K-12 in math, reading development, science, or anything at the elementary level. I completed about half of a masters in teaching during my undergrad at UVA and would be happy to put those skills to good use! I enjoy teaching, tutoring, and learning. I work in finance full time and clients often appreciate my drive to learn to the point of being able to explain concepts to others in simple terms. I am patient, fun, and love working with kids of all ages! I’m confident I can meet your student where they are and help develop their proficiency in a number of areas. I’m a science and math ner

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

What do private math tutors do?

Reviews for Richmond math tutors

Recent success stories from people in the Richmond area.
Andrea K.
Aziz was a great fit for my daughter. He really helped build back her confidence with AP Calculus AB after dealing with a teacher that never took time to explain in school. Aziz gave her the time and patience she needed to succeed. She brought up her grade and got a 5 on the AP exam. Couldn't have asked for more from him. I highly recommend his services.
