There's a little "curse of knowledge" going on--ie, the assumption that I know more than I really do---but we work together to overcome that.

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

  • 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.

Kristina has been the most outstanding tutor I’ve ever had. She is consistently supportive, highly knowledgeable, and has a remarkable ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and relatable way. Math has always been a challenging subject for me, but with her expert guidance, I was able to improve my understanding significantly and raise my grade from a C to an A. an achievement I once thought was out of reach. Kristina not only helped me succeed academically but also made learning math an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

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

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.
