Hi, my name is Christa, and I love working with students! A fun fact about me is that I can say the dialogue from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by heart. 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 patient and caring type of person! I partner with students on a one-on-one basis in STEM subjects through SoFlo Tutors, my tutoring agency. I studied Mathematics at Wayne State University and have been tutoring for 2 years. Math and Science tend to build on themselve

Hi, my name is Sofia! Two things: I love working with students, and I love to travel. 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! I partner with students on a one-on-one basis in STEM subjects through SoFlo Tutors, my tutoring agency. I graduated from Texas A&M and have been tutoring with SoFlo for two years. Math and Science tend to build on themselves, so my methodology is to identify gaps in a student’s knowledge of a subject and help to fill them in with individualized lessons! At SoFlo, we want t

I am a recent graduate of MIT, with a double major in Economics and Management. I have tutored for over six years, although took a break as I was finishing college. I love teaching others, and it is always rewarding to see the moments when everything finally clicks on a topic. I have worked with a variety of ages; the majority of my experience is with high school students. I tutor STEM subjects (math, physics, chemistry, and economics), and test prep for the SAT, ACT, and SAT subject tests. I can adjust to timelines needed, whether for long-term support or short-term prep for tests/classes.

Our tutors are all currently students at Harvard University whose specialties are their respective concentrations. We meet our students in Harvard Square and employ a hands on learning process, wherein the tutor and student develop an interpersonal connection. This connection allows for more efficacious tutoring and allows students to understand the material more easily. Further, we employ a Socratic teaching method to spark curiosity and genuine interest in the subject at hand. Our teaching philosophy is best summarized by the words of Educational Philosopher Thomas Carruthers: "A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary." ...

With over 6 years of tutoring experience, I truly love and enjoy teaching, and I feel responsible for the success of every student.

Your Math Tutoring questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Tutors.

A math tutor costs $25 to $80 per hour when teaching privately and $25 to $50 per hour when tutoring online. SAT math tutoring costs $45 to $100 per hour on average. Math tutoring centers charge $100 to $200 per month for weekly tutoring sessions.

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

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.

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.

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
  • Personalizes each session and incorporates connections to the student's interests
  • Listens and communicates often with parents and teachers
  • Is inquisitive and asks the student good, open-ended questions
  • Is persistent but always demonstrates patience and empathy
  • Adaptable and able to explain material in multiple ways
  • Shows positivity and encouragement
  • Has a reputation of professionalism and reliability
  • Has resourcefulness and is tech-savvy

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.

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.

Home math tutors are available for children in elementary school all the way to students in high school and college. Start by searching our list of private math tutors near you. Then:

  • Ask for recommendations from family, friends, and neighbors.
  • Interview and compare at least three tutors.
  • Check their references and verify their credentials.
  • Read reviews and check out their previous work on Tutors.com and Google.
  • Discuss fees, locations, scheduling, and cancellation policies.
  • Ask what payment methods are accepted and if payment is expected after each session.
  • Consider hiring the tutor on a trial basis to see if they are a good fit.

When looking to hire a good math tutor, ask the following questions:

  • What's your level of education or academic training in math?
  • What are your qualifications, certifications, or credentials?
  • How long have you been tutoring, and how many students have you tutored?
  • What ages and learning styles do you tutor?
  • How will you evaluate my child's needs?
  • What is your tutoring process, methodology, and teaching philosophy?
  • Do you have a curriculum, or do you create personalized content for my child?
  • How do you measure and track progress?
  • What results should I expect to see, and what happens if my child doesn't make any progress?
  • How often will you communicate with me and my child's teachers?
  • Will the tutoring sessions take place in-home, at a public location, or online?
  • How many students will be tutored at a time?
  • How much do you charge, and how long is each session?
  • How long and when are you available to tutor?
  • What's your policy for cancellations and make-up sessions?
  • Can you provide me with a list of references?
  • Are you willing to undergo a background check?
  • What makes you an outstanding math tutor?What questions should I ask a math tutor before hiring?

Verna and our son hit it off right away. They literally got to work within two minutes. Our son enjoys learning, and Verna has been a good fit. He has only had two sessions, but felt that both were beneficial and helped him to better grasp this difficult content.

Jim has been a great math tutor. My son advanced from C to A. He was very patient and consistent, made sessions fun and was was able to get my son’s attention. Pleased to find him.

Andrew B.
Nick was a fantastic tutor on many different levels. First, he took time to understand exactly what my goal was, and then tailored a plan specifically to help me achieve my goal. For me, this was passing the Executive Assessment in a tight time frame, which I was successfully able to do with his help. Secondly, after understanding my goal and creating a tailored plan to help me achieve it, the actual tutoring sessions were extremely valuable. Nick is a great communicator and teacher of math. Very quickly he was able to understand the nuances of how I learn new concepts, and adjusted his teaching style to fit my comprehension style. Without this, I doubt I would have been able to pass my test. Finally, Nick is just an all around great guy. It was always relaxing and fun to work with him, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a great tutor.

I like Ryan because he is relatable. He is a good teacher but switches things up because he is still a young adult. I think he’s able to teach me because he’s still in touch with modern games and music. I find it fun even to learn from because it’s nice to be able to relate to a teaching figure. --- Kieran
