Here is our list of frequently asked questions. If you have a question that isn’t answered on this page, get in touch through our contact form. If other people have the same question, we may add it here for everyone to see.
The general progression of activities during a session includes 1) reviewing an essential Algebra or Pre-Algebra concept or process, 2) “I do, we do, you do” practice, 3) content-specific lesson, and 4) homework support. The amount of time spent on each activity can vary depending on students’ needs.
There are several signs that your student may need more support. They may need additional support if they:
– Avoid math homework
– Struggle with basic or foundational math
– Get lower grades as the year progresses
– Experience significant anxiety or a negative attitude around math
– Have a hard time explaining their mathematical process
– Have a hard time keeping up in class
– Struggle to turn a word problem into a mathematical expression or equation
– Have a desire to make math an integral part of their lives, but have difficulty understanding specific content
Yes. Every session includes an opportunity for students to ask homework questions. Each student should come prepared with one to three problems they are struggling with. Sometimes students’ questions are answered just by working through the day’s lesson. If not, they can bring it up during the homework support portion of the session.
Algebra 1 is the most consistently taught math topic across teachers, regardless of who teaches it or where it is taught. Although concepts may be taught in a slightly different order by teachers, the flow is usually very similar. Because of the variability of other math topics, such as geometry and calculus, and how teachers choose what to include or emphasize, it is more difficult to create cohesive study groups around those topics. As a result, these topics are best tutored in a private session. If you are interested in tutoring for other math subjects, get in touch anytime through our contact form or by phone.

There are several reasons I keep the price low. First, I am able to keep my costs down by offering services online and I pass this savings on to my customers. Second, I prioritize groups, which allows me to lower the cost for each student. Third, I know that falling behind in math doesn’t happen overnight, and neither does catching up. It’s important to me that students be able to make real and lasting change in their math abilities, and keeping the price low increases the chances that families will be able to stick with it.
