Em I. says, "Carolyn is patient. I like her approach because it's quick and gets to the point. She's relaxed and chill but definitely knows her stuff - she can give a lot of depth and background if you want it but can also keep it short and sweet if simple works better for you. And I like that she helps me with my goals or the specific things I came to ask about instead of going off on her own objectives like other tutors I've used." Read more

Carlan G. says, "Joe does a fantastic job translating complex information into understandable language. For example, I struggled with generating appropriate costs functions to generate accurate mathematical models of systems. Joe was able to simplify the idea of modeling optimization into a very intuitive concept of error minimization in an iterative process. My projects ended up being some of the best in the class and my understanding of the concept impressed my professor." Read more

Heather R. says, "I would highly recommend Stephen as a tutor, in particular with any of the calculus courses! He breaks down complex problems in an easily understandable manner, which is especially good for students like me who may not find calculus to be all that 'intuitive.' He is also very flexible with tutoring in person or online (through Zoom, etc.), and time/day depending on preference, which is excellent as well for non-traditional, full time working students such as myself! Highly recommended!!" Read more

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

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.

Reviews for Pittsburgh math tutors

Recent success stories from people in the Pittsburgh area.
Ronnie M.
Although I am not a client of Ron's ... I did want to leave a personal reference on his page here. I have known Ron for more than 35 years. We went to university together. He is sharp as a knife ... very honest and trustworthy. He has multiple degrees in mathematics with a background in computer programming. So, he is more qualified than someone you would get who merely had a focus on math. Ron has tutored in the past … was one of the architects behind a popular fantasy sports website … and is a software engineer for a major insurance corporation. If I had a child who needed tutoring for algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus ... or a college entrance exam, such as the ACT/SAT, I would not think twice about sending her/him to Ron for assistance ...
