Katie J. says, "Shawn is the most amazing tutor I have ever had the privilege of working with. Before I started working with Shawn, my grade in chemistry was pretty low. Thanks to Shawn, I received an A on my final exam and finished with an A in general chemistry. Between sessions, he sent me links to helpful websites and created powerpoints on topics I was struggling with. He truly cares about and is committed to a student's success. I highly recommend Shawn." Read more

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 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.

Ethan T.
Mr. Smith is easily the best tutor I've ever worked with. From his patience to his fun personality, it was always a joy being tutored by him. Mr. Smith always had a deep understanding of the material and was able to explain it in different ways that helped you understand it as well. I would recommend Mr. Smith as a tutor to anyone that needs help with their schoolwork or just wants to get ahead of the class.
