Samantha H. says, "Math has always been a huge struggle for me. I was plagued by a college algebra class that left me feeling worried I would fail. Making the decision to work with Mahmut every week for the semester made passing the class with a B so much easier! He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and is able to help simplify the information that seems so confusing and he teaches helpful tricks along the way. It became obvious that Mahmut knows the ins and outs of the material he teaches which makes him a great fit for anyone. I can’t thank him enough for all of his help. Highly recommend him. " Read more

Education has always brought me so much joy. The best part of teaching is the light bulb moment that comes when a student finally gets it! I have taught early childhood since 2016 and took a position in 2019 as a Kindergarten Educator. I have taught 2+ years in the public school setting, 3 years in a private pre-kindergarten setting and will begin teaching a university style homeschool program in the fall, teaching 1st grade. I took on a position in the last school year to tutor to help meet the needs with students who may have experienced a learning hole in their their learning due to the pandemic.

Kristin B. says, "I highly recommend Romine Tutoring. I was tutored for physics by Devon. Kathryn helped with the setting up of my tutoring sessions. Devon is Kathryn’s spouse and is very knowledgeable in many STEM related classes. He has also been a teacher for intro physics classes. I was tutored for 8 weeks for a summer class. I needed a tutor who was patient and would be willing to re-explain topics several times. They went above and beyond to help me. I passed my class with flying colors and learned a lot more than I thought I would. My grade is indebted to this couple. " Read more

My service stands out because I can typically teach concepts in more than one way. I have tutored quite a few people and in the process I have learned to adapt to another person's way of thinking so we can find a way for them to understand. I know that tutoring is a process of not only getting to know the material, but also getting to know the student. Ultimately you have to understand the student to teach them effectively because everyone is different. I absolutely love math, but I know that not everyone's brains see numbers the same way. I enjoy tutoring because I love to see the switch go off in someone's brain when I explain a concept in ...

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.

  • 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.
