As a mom to 4 kids (elementary age through high school), I know the importance of patience and kindness when it comes to learning. With math, even more so. I focus on challenging kids who love math and also taking the student who says “I’m not good at math” and helping them discover they are more than capable. I’m a nationally certified tutor with 15 years of teaching experience. Available for in person tutoring in Huntington Beach, California and surrounding areas. Online tutoring available nationwide.

Jennifer L. says, "Our daughter had college goals in which every point mattered - on her GPA and ACT. We looked at several options for test prep and Joyee had a very no-nonsense, personalized approach. We saw an eight-point increase on her ACT which contributed to not only early acceptance, but a scholarship at a prominent UC school. If results matter, call Joyee. I don’t know how he does it, but he did. Proud of them both." Read more

I am currently a 4th year Pure Mathematics major who has been placed on the Dean’s List every semester of university. I’ve been working as a tutor for 2 years now, assisting students from elementary to high school levels in mathematics. I am flexible on my approach depending on the needs of the student, whether it be quick refreshers or thorough reviews. After each session, I will provide a quick summary of what topics were worked on and my impressions on the student’s understanding. Outside of tutoring sessions, depending on my availability at the time, I am able to answer quick questions.

When I was going through elementary and middle school, I struggled in school, more specifically in math. Without all the support from my teachers and the tutors I had, I wouldn't be doing what I love most today. Tutoring brings me so much joy. I look forward to working with each and every one of my students. I have been tutoring for 6 years now. Without the struggles I went through, I probably would not love tutoring as much as I do right now. Seeing my student's progress from when I had just started working with them to a couple of months of working with them is jaw-dropping. I have helped so many of my students who were D's and F's student...

Your Math Tutoring questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Tutors.

How much does a math tutor cost near me?

A math tutor costs $25 to $80 per hour when teaching privately and $25 to $50 per hour when tutoring online. SAT math tutoring costs $45 to $100 per hour on average. Math tutoring centers charge $100 to $200 per month for weekly tutoring sessions.

How do I know if my child needs a math tutor?

Your child may need a math tutor if:

  • Their grades or test scores are declining
  • They get confused or frustrated with homework
  • They are having difficulty or lacking confidence with numbers
  • 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?

Tutors suggest a minimum of one tutoring session per week until students build confidence, understand the subject, and improve grades. Sometimes, a few tutoring sessions can help students get back on track and regain confidence. If the student struggles in two or more classes, more sessions are recommended. 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. Math tutors also show how to perform calculations, processes, and computations to complete their assignments.

What qualities make a good math tutor?

Look for the following qualities in a math tutor:

  • Expertise and knowledge on the subject
  • A good communicator and motivator
  • A passionate and enthusiastic teacher
  • Ability to quickly identify the student's needs
  • Teaches to the student's strengths and minimizes their weaknesses
  • Personalizes each session and incorporates connections to the student's interests

Hiring a math tutor helps struggling children keep up and advances those students who aren't challenged enough. A tutor helps improve any student's knowledge, learning skills, and confidence.

Is math tutoring worth it?

Tutoring is worth the money because:

  • Tutoring strengthens subject comprehension, boosts confidence, and builds important learning skills that a crowded classroom can't offer.
  • Tutoring improves grades and tutored students outperform their peers on examinations.
  • Students develop positive attitudes toward the subject after tutoring.

My daughter had to write a pre-algebra test in a few days and I was concerned she was struggling. I contacted SoFlo online, expressed my concern and in spite of the tight schedule they moved things around to accommodate my daughter. I witnessed the session and it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I love the teaching method, and that my daughter was offered multiple methods to solve the same problem. I recommend SoFlo highly!
