I'm currently a second-year undergrad student majoring in Computer Engineering. Back in high school, I took AP Calculus AB and AP Computer Science A, as well as other Honors classes like Pre-Calculus or Chemistry. Therefore, I understand the struggles of those also taking those courses and will be sure to help people get through those struggles. Not only that, I can provide insight and lessons of advanced lower-division math courses like Calculus II, Calculus III, and Differential Equations, or fundamental programming courses like Java, C, or C++. It's my duty to help my students not learn by memorization but rather to see and understand th

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

  • Ability to quickly identify the student's needs
  • Teaches to the student's strengths and minimizes their weaknesses

Do math tutors help?

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.
