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. For special needs & neurodivergent students, I am Orton-Gillingham trained for Dyslexia, Dysgra...

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...

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

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.

Jackson L.
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.

Lynn has been tutoring my son in geometry since the beginning of November 2020. He is in the 8th grade. My son was initially hesitant about working with a math tutor, since he never had one before, but after a couple of meetings, he grew comfortable with and enjoys working with Lynn. He says that she understands the material very well, but more importantly knows how to teach it so that he understands it as well. Prior to working with Lynn, he was very inconsistent on his exams, but since working with Lynn, he has been scoring As and Bs. Sometimes he and Lynn can cover material ahead of his class, so he feels less stress during class.

Nadine was an amazing tutor! She helped me pass my math classes. I worked with her from high school until college. Forever grateful for her help!

My son's worst subject is math. Unfortunately math is also my worst subject. There came a point where I could no longer help him with his assignments. He went into high school not really prepared for math. (8th grade was distance learning year). We are thankful for Mr. Vermilye because he not only goes over assignments, but also reviews concepts that he needs help with. He also goes over concepts that he will learn further on in the semester. During exams and finals, Mr. Vermilye helps with extra zoom classes and is available through text when my son has a question. He has been invaluable in my son's learning!

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!
