William S. says, "I contacted Ron to inquire about tutoring an adult friend who was preparing for a math exam for a job interview; however, my friend had not seen these types of questions in years. Ron listened to my specific needs and answered all my questions. After speaking on the phone, I hired Ron for the job. He was professional, prepared and patient in his tutoring. Moreover, his tutoring greatly improved my friend's math abilities for the test. I recommend Ron for a math tutor." Read more

Hi! My name is Rebecca. I graduated from Slippery Rock University in 2021 with a degree in Finance and minors in statistics and information systems. Throughout college I worked for both the tutoring center and the math assistance center helping students reach their potential. Since graduating I have continued to tutor. Most recently, I have been tutoring a second and a third grader in reading, writing, and occasionally math. I try to make learning as fun and exciting as possible. I keep an upbeat and encouraging attitude so that the student doesn't get discouraged. I look forward to working with more individuals in the future!

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

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 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.

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

What do private math tutors do?

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 ...
