Although in-person tutoring and online tutoring both offer students the chance to learn from an expert teacher in a one-on-one environment, there are some important differences. With in-person tutoring, you are limited to instructors who live in your local area. On the other hand, an online tutoring service can connect your child to the best teacher for their needs – regardless of location.

Our math tutors are highly qualified educators who are passionate not only about helping children learn math, but also about encouraging them to enjoy the learning process. We require our tutors to have at least a four-year degree and several years of experience successfully tutoring math online.

We use a comprehensive matching system to pair each student with the tutor who will best meet their needs. However, you always have the option to request a different instructor. The first tutoring session with Learner is always free, giving you and your child the opportunity to make sure that the tutor is a good fit.

An elementary school math tutor helps students learn math in a way that prepares them for success in fifth grade and beyond. Our tutors help students understand 4th grade math topics such as fractions, multi-digit multiplication, and unit conversion, so that they can master homework and test questions.

If you feel that your Learner tutor isn’t compatible with your child, just let us know. Our goal is to provide the very best math tutoring experience, so if you aren’t satisfied, we will provide a different instructor at no additional charge.

The process to get matched with a Learner tutor and schedule the first session usually only takes a few days. Once you fill out a survey and talk with our Academic Coach, we can match your child with their tutor and you can schedule the first session, which is completely free.

Online math tutoring is similar to traditional in-person tutoring in that the student works individually with a private teacher. Learner students attend tutoring sessions via our live learning platform, which offers video chat, a virtual whiteboard, and the ability to upload worksheets for more practice.

Yes! Studies consistently show that private math tutoring is extremely effective for most students. At Learner, we only hire instructors who can prove that their previous students improved their grades and test scores.

The amount you will pay for private math tutoring usually depends on the tutor’s qualifications, your location, and your child’s educational needs. Most private tutors charge between $50 and $80 per hour, but you can sometimes get a discount by purchasing a block of several sessions at a time.

If you want to tutor elementary school students in math, you need to have outstanding teaching skills and an excellent grasp of the material. If you want to work for Learner, you must be familiar with Common Core math and have several years of online math tutoring experience, along with a bachelor’s degree (or higher) in a relevant field.

Unfortunately, no. Under IRS regulations, private tutoring is considered a personal expense that doesn't qualify for a tax deduction. There may be different rules for special education students.

We guarantee your satisfaction with our tutoring services. If you aren’t happy with your tutor, you can switch to a new instructor at no extra charge.
