I am a current college engineering student with strong experience in high-level STEM courses (AP Calculus, AP Physics C: Mechanics, AP Physics C: Electromagnetism, AP Statistics, AP Chemistry etc.) as well as a 1550 SAT. I also have previous experience tutoring elementary school-aged children and high school students. I find it works best to help others understand how concepts work and can be applied to other areas, instead of just making them memorize.

As a graduate of MIT, I have taught test prep programs including SAT II Math I and AP Biology. I majored in physics, and I love encouraging students to understand the world around them through math and science. No matter what age, I believe hands-on learning and real world applications are key. I love when students get that "aha!" moment when working on understanding a concept. Once you see that they get it, you can ask them almost any question related to the topic, and they will know how to approach the problem....

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.

My twin and I got tutored by Donna and we both loved how she worked in a way that we understood. She made sure we understood certain topics before moving on. I’m really happy with the tutoring she provided and I would definitely recommend her to other students who would like extra help on the SAT.

We were so fortunate to find Nihal on Tutors.com. He immediately seemed like the right fit for tutoring our daughter’s Honors Algebra II course material. She needed better explanation of concepts and class material reinforcement. Nihal is very knowledgeable and confident, yet approachable, patient, and very accommodating. Our daughter was able to complete her homework and prepare for tests much more effectively and efficiently, allowing her to continue sports and extracurricular activities. Nihal is able to explain math concepts in a more practical and relatable way. Scheduling sessions with Nihal is easy and flexible. Our daughter’s math scores increased significantly. We highly recommend him for math tutoring.
