Bonjour! My name is Sarah. I grew up in France and can now speak French like a native speaker. I also attended school there from 2nd grade to 12th grade. While I was there, I developed a deep understanding of the language and culture, and I wish to share that with my students! If you're studying it, I can assure you I have, too. From reading to conjugation, to grammar to spelling, I've done it all and aced it. Now, I'm here to help you through it, too!

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

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.

How to find a math tutor in my area?

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

Thomas is an absolute godsend. My son struggles badly with math but being a computer major, there's alot of math. Thomas explains it all in a way that my son isn't just memorizing formulas, he is actually understanding it. No more math classes without Thomas!

My son has needed help for the last couple of years in math. He does better with understanding on the one to one, and Mr. Healy has provided that. My son appreciates his calm demeanor and his patience. He also has allowed accommodating adjustments in schedule based on life. Highly recommend.

Celine is a great tutor. She is knowledgeable on every subject. I have seen a great improvement in my kid’s academic performance since she is been tutoring them. The most important thing about her is how patient she is with the kids. I also introduced her to one of my friends whose child is preparing for SAT and the feedback has been positive from my friend too!

Miss. Mei has been working with us for some weeks now, and Im already seeing big positive changes in my child and I requested her if I could leave her a review. Miss. Mei’s way of interacting with kids, her preparations for every class, her ongoing discussions with parents and her background being an experienced DOE teacher were some of the things that I really liked. She has great strategies. We work together as a team. My child loves her classes and always looks forward to it. Ms. Mei is very encouraging and has a positive outlook. She is sensitive to the overall needs of a child and plans her lessons accordingly. She even took the initiative of collaborating with the school teachers for maximal outcome. I’m very glad that I got in touch with Ms. Mei. I was looking for tutors online and feel very lucky to have found her. A Right teacher at the right time. My best wishes to Miss. Mei.

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!
