As a tutor, I try to give curriculum materials that support the child's needs, but also help them to advance in school by aligning to the school's challenging material or supporting the level of struggle that some grade levels carry in Common Core subjects. I tutor to support students in the long-term growth, not for short-term learning . I work to help students see progress in all their hard work practiced & expressed over time. I love to help students see school to be engaging by using materials that help them develop interest in school subjects.

Hey, I’m Francisco! I am a student at CSULA studying applied mathematics. Math can be challenging to learn, many people lose interest in it. We need to understand and comprehend the basic ideas and concepts of a specific part of math to make math simple. My goal is to help students improve their math skills and build confidence on themselves. Math is one of my favorite subject. I really enjoy playing with numbers and trying to figure it any type of problems/equations. Learning math should not just be computing numbers, but also to explain in plain words. I love to help people not just master material they thought they could never understand b...

  • 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?

Math tutors are responsible for helping students with homework, teaching various mathematical concepts, motivating and boosting confidence, and teaching skills like note-taking, studying, and test-taking.

Reviews for Alhambra math tutors

Recent success stories from people in the Alhambra area.
Kim E.
My two daughters absolutely loved working with Kristina in their high school Pre-Calc, Calc, Biology and Chemistry classes. Kristina explains concepts in a way that is understandable and she is so personable and accommdating as far as scheduling of sessions. My one daughter had her friends join a group session with Kristina, and after that, they all started using her as their tutor. My college bound daughter, who will be a Biology major, will likely use Kristina for tutoring in her college chemistry classes.

Zand has been an absolute gem. I originally hired him to help my son with Algebra, but after seeing how well they clicked, I booked him for SAT prep too. My son’s confidence has soared. He actually looks forward to tutoring, which I never thought I’d say about math. Zand has a rare gift for making things clear and engaging, and it’s obvious he truly cares about his students success.

Jay would always keep in contact with me to let me know what my son was learning, how he was improving, and how I could help outside of class. My son's American Math Competition scores rose tremendously from 16/25 to 22/25. His school math grades improved from a B to a solid A.

I hired Scott because my son who is a working actor, just got cast in television program and needed to work independently. He was having trouble keeping up with certain courses and Scott saved the day! He was patient and persistent and helped my son complete his course work with wonderful grades. You can tell Scott loves to teach. He was with us for several weeks and was always a pleasure to have around. And this was even during the pandemic. I would hire Scott again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone! Rebecca King Crews Pasadena
