Every student learns differently. It is important to realize this. In classrooms, teachers are unable to match the learning style of every individual student, it is simply not possible. As a tutor, I can adjust my teaching style to match the learning style of the student. Further, due to my educational background* and previous tutoring experineces**, I am able to provide different methods and examples to get to the same end result. *I have my Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics and am currently studying for my PhD. **I have been tutoring, both through college institutions and privately, for over five years....

Having always been fascinated by numbers and the natural sciences, I bring an enthusiasm and an interest to my work that is atypical of those who have been teaching / tutoring for as long as I have (been). What is more is that I carry with me a breadth of understanding, from Algebra to Statistics, and from Calculus to Physics (among other fields), that is uncommon. Over the course of my life, I have fostered what, in psychology, is referenced as a "need for cognition." I firmly believe that a careful examination of mathematics and the natural sciences can serve as a gateway to a better understanding of the world in which we live. "Why are t...

While I enjoy the challenges of working as a professional engineer, there are not many opportunities to spread my enthusiasm about the beauty of mathematics or the interesting aspects of many STEM fields. I enjoy helping students sate their curiosity in many STEM fields. Like many engineers, I enjoy the overlap between mathematics and the physical world. I like learning how a mathematical model can approximate the physical environment and I enjoy trying to understand what different equations are trying to explain. I enjoy sharing this passion with others, especially those who are willing to be receptive towards it. I also like witnessing a yo...

Hello! My name is Nicole and I am excited to be tutoring online! Previously, I taught both middle and high school special education (6 years), did some substitute teaching, and occasionally tutor local students at the nearby high school. I love working with kids and helping them reach their goals but had to step back from full time teaching after several family members needed support with medical issues. I love teaching math and science but don't mind other subjects as well and have experience in all. I have a flexible schedule and look forward to assisting how ever I can.

Hello! My name is Carlos and I am an eagle scout. I am a studying engineering. I love learning math and science and those are my strongest subjects. However, I understand that learning those subjects can be very diffiuclt especially with a poor teacher. Helping my peers learn Calculus and Algebra has helped me realize that I have a strong ability in helping others learn and I would like to expand my network and help as many people learn about Math and Science.

I am a high school math teacher with experience in educational technology, including interactive whiteboards, creation of tutoring videos, and use of on-screen calculators to assist with tutoring from a distance. I aim to make math fun (or at least tolerable) for students who struggle through the use of humor and a lighthearted approach.

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.
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.

  • What's your level of education or academic training in math?
  • What are your qualifications, certifications, or credentials?

  • How many students will be tutored at a time?
