Katie J. says, "Yuval is undoubtedly the best tutor I've ever worked with. I took Physics 2 (my hardest subject) at Columbia this spring. With Yuval's help over the course of the entire semester, I was able to score high As on every exam and a high A on the final. He goes above and beyond in every way. He was patient and responsive, worked to make himself available whenever I needed his help, and tailored his tutoring style to my needs. In addition, Yuval made videos outside of our time together to help me grasp topics I was struggling with. Without his help, I absolutely would not have been able to do nearly as well as I did. I have recommended him to everyone I know. If you are looking for a tutor that will blow you away with their intelligence, humor, and commitment to your success, Yuval is definitely your guy!"

  • You are no longer able to provide help with homework or learning

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.

Reviews for Renton math tutors

Recent success stories from people in the Renton 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!

Chris Morris-Lent has helped my kids with everything from Pre-Calc and AP World History to ACT/SAT prep. He has a unique skill set with expertise in a wide range of subjects, along with the flexibility to alter his teaching style to best suit the student. He teaches not only academic subjects but also test-taking and studying strategies to streamline the students’ workload and improve test scores. Chris has a very relaxed style, with professional, high standards (in both business and tutoring).
