I've been a teacher for over eight years now, split evenly between teaching at the college level and high school level. Aside from teaching experience, I have been a private tutor for well over 15 years. I started in college, tutoring local middle and high school students, and have been doing it since. Whether in a classroom or in a private tutoring session, I believe in creating a comfortable, mistake-friendly environment, one in which the student knows it's okay to try and not succeed, as long as they learn from that mistake. Math anxiety is real and I specialize in helping students build their confidence in both themselves and their abilit

Hello! I’m currently a college student at the University of Albany pursuing a degree in Pure Mathematics. I am able to teach comfortably up to Calculus thanks to years of tutoring experience. I also can help prepare for the math sections of the SAT or ACT! Any K-12 mathematics help, I can surely provide! I'm passionate about teaching the fundamentals and giving insight into the reasons mathematics is the way it is. I aim to not only improve grades and get work done, but provide a deeper understanding of the subject. I can help provide insight not only into the current upcoming year of math, but what future levels will have in store. I offer

Anonymous says, " I highly recommend vasudha! She was instrumental in my son's learning with algebra. She was very attentive to his needs, and the flexibility she offered within her schedule was really great for our family. She was great and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for tutoring services! Vasudha was great with my daughter and teaching her 7th grade math. My daughter struggles with attention deficit so Vasudha's strategies to help were amazing. She was great in all regards and was so friendly and easy to work with." Read more

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Tutors.

How much does a math tutor cost near me?

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.

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
  • 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

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.
  • Tutoring improves grades and tutored students outperform their peers on examinations.
  • Students develop positive attitudes toward the subject after tutoring.

  • Read reviews and check out their previous work on Tutors.com and Google.
  • Discuss fees, locations, scheduling, and cancellation policies.

Sahana was an amazing tutor! She helped my daughter get on the honor roll every quarter this year, and we saw immediate improvements in her grades since she started. Cannot recommend All Around Tutoring enough!!

I really liked how hands on the tutor was. She was very attentive to my child and his needs. Her price was very reasonable and she always put in a lot of effort during the class and outside in prep work. I highly recommend her to anyone!

I started taking Spanish lessons one year ago with Silvia Aguilar at LanguageConvo. I take a half hour lesson every Tuesday morning. after 52 half hour lessons (26 total hours) at a ridiculously low cost, I now am about 50 - 60% fluent, and I look forward to every Tuesday morning. Silvia is not only an excellent teacher... she is funny and lovely. We speak only Spanish about all things happening in our respective lives, cultures and even some politics. I would highly recommend LanguageConvo to anyone interested in learning a new language. Mucho gusta!
