Brandon R. says, "Leslie has truly been a blessing for our family. Our daughter had been facing difficulties in math for a while, and despite our best efforts, we were unable to assist her with her schoolwork. We decided to enlist Leslie's services, and we have not looked back since. Not only has Leslie been able to effectively teach our daughter, but she has also gone above and beyond to provide extra support leading up to state mandated testing. Thanks to Leslie's dedication, our daughter was able to achieve the highest grade in her school and perform at her best. We are incredibly grateful for all that Leslie has done for our family."

How do I know if my child needs a math tutor?

Your child may need a math tutor if:

  • 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.

I was happy to have found a high-quality tutor to work with my daughter who has an IEP in a short time frame. I highly recommend Mr. Bruce because of his dedicated service to make sure that the students he works with get an understanding of their subject material. He really goes the "extra mile" and the cost which he charges is very economical. I'm very pleased!
