I offer great tutoring at a reasonable price. I have experience with the SAT, SSAT, ISEE, LSAT, and other tests, and not only understand how to take the tests, but how to teach the material to students in a way they can understand. I can answer questions that relate to test prep and academic subjects that only a person with "real world" experience can give - such as "Why do I need to know this stuff, anyway?" Finally, I have a sense of humor, and can engage and entertain while teaching, without being a complete goofball or pushover who doesn't get the job done. This may sound clichéd and cheesy, but it's true. I enjoy reaching young minds an...

Hi, my name is Sylvia, and I can recite every line of the movie The Princess Bride. I also love working with students! The most rewarding part of tutoring for me is when a new concept “clicks” with a student - their excitement is contagious, and it’s a privilege to be able to help them reach that point! On a more personal level, I am a friendly, outdoorsy, athletic, and talkative type of person! I partner with students on a one-on-one basis in STEM subjects through SoFlo Tutors, my tutoring agency. I studied Economics at the University of St. Andrews and have been tutoring for 2 years. At SoFlo, we want to raise grades, strengthen understan

Danielle G. says, "Aniruddha has been nothing but excellent, knowledgeable, and kind. He is a brilliant teacher who far surpasses any math education experience my daughter has had her entire school career. He has gotten my daughter from average grades in precalculus to all As. His style of teaching is interactive and what math education should be. He is kind and patient, as well as flexible with scheduling. We will continue with A2 tutoring for AP calculus next year, as I know his teaching will be far superior to any education she will get at the high school. I give my highest recommendations, and I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Aniruddha. A+++++" Read more

I have 30 years in Tech plus 8 years as a substitute teacher and tutor. I have an MBA in finance and though math can be difficult for some - it really comes down to building a foundation that many schools and teachers have failed to do. I help students achieve grade level proficiency that sadly many schools and teachers fail to do.

Anne A. says, "I have known and hired Dan as a math tutor since 2015. Dan has worked with all three of my high school aged children. Dan has an incredible way of assessing the needs of the student he is working with, and tailoring his tutoring style to best suit the student. The comment I heard most from my kids (all with very differnt learning styles) was "Dan is SO good at explaining things! If I don't understand a problem, he can explain it a whole different way - even a third way if needed. He is so much better at explaining math concepts than any of my high school teachers." As a parent, I apprecialte Dan's calm demeanor and professionalism while still remaining relatable to the students he is working with. I highly recommend Dan as a subject tutor or test prep tutor. He is fantastic." Read more

While completing my Math for Education degree at SFSU, I began tutoring precalculus and calculus students privately while taking classes aimed at developing middle and high school math teachers. Once I started my Master's in Math at SFSU, I began to teach various Precalculus and Statistics classes as the instructor of record and became an instructor at San Francisco Math Circle. I worked with SFMC to facilitate recreational math activities aimed at developing math confidence, language, and problem-solving skills for students in 2nd-8th grade. I was promoted to Lead Instructor where I would develop activities, organize classes, and provide tra

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

Your child may need a math tutor if:

  • 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?
