A Learner tutor teaches fundamental math topics, like how to divide fractions and what to do with quadratic functions, in a clear and interesting way.Your child’s tutor will adjust their instruction style and progression according to your child’s needs and learning speed.
We only hire 3% of the tutors who apply to be a Learner Tutor. First, we require the right level of experience - hundreds of hours of online tutoring and a passion for helping students just like your child. Then, they have a first interview where they describe success stories and how they have changed students' lives through their amazing tutoring. Then we provide them with some math problems and ask them to create a video solving the problem for us to review. Last, we have one final live interview where we ask them to teach us a problem in multiple ways, because no two student learn the same way!
You can schedule your first session in a few days! After you fill out one online questionnaire, you can complete a consultation with our Academic Advisor to find the right tutor. Once your child is matched with a tutor, you can schedule the first session at a convenient time.
Our Academic Advisor uses a proprietary matching system to select a tutor that best matches your child’s learning style and academic level. However, you get the final say, and if your child doesn’t click with their initial tutor in the first session or later on, you can switch to a new tutor for free.

When looking for an online math tutor for your child, don’t limit yourself to high school or college students trying to earn some extra money. Your child will benefit significantly more from working with an expert teacher who can make complicated math concepts easy to understand.
By choosing Learner, your 8th grader will have the opportunity to learn from a highly qualified professional tutor. Our instructors are familiar with Common Core standards, the PSAT and the SAT, and high school math curricula. Our tutors give middle school students test prep tips and make sure that they are ready for the rigor of high school math courses.
Most 8th grade math textbooks focus on getting students comfortable with the concepts and problem-solving skills that they’ll need in high school algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and precalculus classes. However, 8th grade topics such as systems of equations, word problems, and functions can be confusing, especially for students who don’t have the opportunity – or the confidence – to ask questions in class.
With private 8th grade math tutoring from Learner, your child can ask all the questions they want and work at their own pace. The one-on-one environment ensures that every student has the support they need to truly understand the material so that they’re ready to succeed in high school math.
Many 8th graders complain about math homework and wonder when they’ll ever need to graph a function or use the Pythagorean theorem in “real life.” To keep students interested and engaged, Learner tutors develop compelling lessons that focus on the real-world applications of math whenever possible. This type of instruction helps students relate to the material for better long-term retention.
Many middle school students fall behind in math class because they get distracted by their peers or they are too embarrassed to speak up when they don’t understand the material. Our online platform was designed to be the optimal learning environment: free from distractions and full of useful features to encourage discussion and collaborative problem-solving.
Our tutors understand that 8th graders are preparing for high school and beginning to look ahead to college entrance exams. In tutoring sessions, they will always emphasize the most important math concepts and skills that students need to master for good grades and test scores in middle school and beyond.
At Learner, we offer tutoring services that cover a wide range of math subjects for students of all ages and levels. Here are the topics we offer in our 8th grade tutoring program.
Chelsea from Learner helped me to get a full ride to Duke University.
“Chelsea from Learner was the perfect match for me. She customized the training so that it would push me hard - but not too hard where I would get frustrated. I worked with Chelsea for years because she took a genuine interest in me and my future.”
"Stephanie taught me how to be more organized. I was getting Bs and Cs before I started working with her. I used to get overwhelmed before studying for a test. Stephanie taught me how to create “study guides” so I’d have all the big ideas in one place. I am now getting As and Bs and my parents are much happier."
"When I first started working with Alan, I told him I would never be good at math. I barely passed my first two years of high school math and I needed one more hard math class to graduate. Alan believed in me and worked with me on the basics. Little by little, he built up my confidence to the point where I realized I am good at math and I did well in the class."

With Learner, your student will never have to learn from an instructor whose teaching style or personality isn’t a good fit. We use a proprietary matching system to pair your child with a teacher who has the right teaching methods, approach, and experience.
Learner tutors meet with their students via our online platform, which is accessible from most devices. Your child can attend their tutoring sessions from home, wherever they feel most comfortable, and schedule lessons around other commitments like sports and extracurricular activities.
Most of our students notice a rapid improvement in their math grades, but you don’t need to wait for the next report card to see their progress. After each lesson, you’ll get feedback on how your child is improving, suggestions for what to practice and review, and a heads-up about the focus of the next tutoring session.
Our team is made up of the best tutors online, and we stand by that with our 100% risk-free satisfaction guarantee. Your initial session is commitment-free with NO subscription obligation.

Although no two educators, or people, are the same, excellent eighth-grade math tutors always have the same critical qualities in common. We Guarantee Better Grades for Struggling Math Students!
There are innumerable benefits to be reaped by investing in private online math tutoring for your eighth grader. Here are just some of the most exciting:
Finding a great math tutor for your eighth-grade student doesn't have to be complicated. What's most important is that you take the time to find someone with the right personality and teaching style to fit your child's needs. Although your child's school likely has its own support system in place, these resources are frequently overloaded and unable to offer the specialized care students require to succeed. If you want to raise your child's grade in their eighth-grade math class, you might want to consider the idea of a private math tutor rather than relying on the "only options" or the advice of your friend's friend.
At Learner, we make the process easy by doing it for you. We connect you with expert tutors who are experienced in working with eighth-grade math students and who we know will be a good fit for your child. Our online platform is accessible from anywhere, so your student won't need to look for a convenient location in the city to communicate with an experienced teacher. You don't need to be concerned about the caliber of instruction because we only employ the best. All you have to do is sign up, and we'll take it from there.
