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

I am a running start student in Pierce College/Puyallup High School that has tutored elementary students, middle school students, and high schoolers + college students respectively. I've been mostly local for 2 years, but have decided to expand! I always welcome a challenge and can teach most subjects. I will strive to meet the goals of not just the parents, but the students themselves. I am readily available most of the time for questions, and will help whenever possible. I've had the opportunity to learn from teachers in the U.S., international students that fostered their methods abroad, and professors who are reputable in their fields. I'

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.

Reviews for Federal Way math tutors

Recent success stories from people in the Federal Way area.

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!

We hired Susan to help our daughter Caidyn with Geometry. Susan made her feel comfortable and worked hard to make sure she understood her lessons. Susan was flexible with her time when Caidyn needed extra help to get through her work. Caidyn's grade went up significantly because of the help she got. If we need help again in the future, we will definitely hire Susan.
