As a current college student with 4+ years of tutoring experience, all K-12 material is still quite relevant and fresh in my mind. I have worked with a variety of ages, from kindergarten all the way to seniors in high school. I get to know each student individually as well as get to know their personal goals. I will provide quick, concise responses for those in a hurry, and slow, methodic teaching for those looking to understand the material on a deeper level. I welcome parent feedback and will alter my methods based on parental goals as well.

Carrie B. says, "Our son has been seeing Tricia for numerous years. Tricia has extensive experience with the local school systems, the IEP/405 process, and has great interpersonal skills. Tricia connects with students of all age levels. Tricia filled in the gaps where the school system failed our son. Our son is in high school and he has chosen to stay with her thru graduation. His reading and writing skills have improved immensely. Tricia has also given him some advise and support for ACT, PreSAT and SAT testing. Slow and steady has been a good course for us. We shouldn't have to supplement public schools, but when there isn't a realistic/good alternative - you do what you need to do. This investment in our son's education has fruitful as he has received from Tricia: support, nurturing, accountability, structure, confidence, and consistency. " Read more

  • 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.

Melissa H.
We hired Susan to help our daughter Caidyn with Geometry. Susan made her feel comfortable and worked hard to make sure she understood her lessons. Susan was flexible with her time when Caidyn needed extra help to get through her work. Caidyn's grade went up significantly because of the help she got. If we need help again in the future, we will definitely hire Susan.

Mary Jo is exactly what my child needs. She is able to meet him just where he is (which changes day to day), motivates him to learn and grow, provides him with so many different ways of learning and different activities to keep him engaged. Her energy is amazing and she is obviously doing this because she cares about children and is excited herself to see them learn and improve. We are so lucky to have her helping our son.

I have worked with Ammar for a couple semesters. I was lost with my algebra class and he was such an amazing teacher who went above and beyond in helping me. I even asked for his help in my physics class. He was always on top of things and explaining in ways I would understand. Because of his help I was able to get the A's that I needed for my program. I would highly recommend Ammar. He is very kind and trustworthy and I will use him for any future help I may need, highly recommended 10/10!!
