I've talked to so many adults that say they hated math or science. I think that is a shame because I have a feeling that they just had a bad teacher or were in the wrong class. Both math and science were very easy for me and I have the gift of not only understanding both subjects but also being able to explain them to others. I like to explain things in terms of the real world (Look at any bridge and you will see Geometry at work). I make sure that my students really understand what they are being taught by having them explain it back to me. It's painful at times but oh so rewarding when I see the bell go off in their heads when they really g

My goal is to help you to understand math as well as you need to or as well as you want to. Math has always been my passion. I am currently a Mathnasium instructor. My tutoring experience ranges from helping a 4th grader gain confidence in his mathematical ability, to helping high school math team students understand how to solve competition problems. My tutoring philosophy focuses on trying to figure out what the student is thinking when they encounter a difficult problem, help guide their thinking and if an idea they come up with doesn’t work for the current problem, explain how it might work for a similar problem. I like providing helpful

  • 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?

Reviews for Auburn math tutors

Recent success stories from people in the Auburn area.
Anita D.
Perhaps what I most appreciate about Carissa is that she’s not only been a good math tutor, but she gets along amazingly with my 15-year-old-grandson. He can be in a negative space when I pick him up from school, and he clearly perks up when he and Carissa are working together – I hear them laugh together often. There doesn’t seem to be any ‘superiority’ in the relationship although it’s clear that she’s won the respect of my grandson. Other things I also appreciate: she’s been highly reliable; she’s made every effort to accommodate and flex to meet our needs relative to schedules; she’s researched and recommended helpful resources; she’s been responsive when I’ve sent her messages; she’s been good about leeting us know if there a reason she needs to miss a session – and she always tries to make it up; she’s been willing to communicate with my grandson’s math teacher at school; and I should not fail to mention that I think her rates are quite reasonable. Carissa is able to be an effective tutor without standing on formality, and that not the impression I got from other math tutors I initially considered. I truly ENJOY seeing her every week, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Sandie was so patient and made our lessons a lot of fun, as well as practical. I got to decide what we would be working on and even got to choose what some of my homework would be. She always found a way to make everything I did more interesting. I am now excelling in all of my classes, and my parents are really happy.
