How to Find Great Math Tutoring

There are three key factors that determine how effective a math tutor will be.

• The tutor's math knowledge and background
• The tutor's experience teaching and tutoring math
• The tutor's personality-can the tutor connect with young people?

At Ashley Tutors, we look for tutors with all three. We believe this is why we get positive results so quickly. Many parents wonder what to look for in a great math tutor, and at Ashley Tutors, we do all the work for you. We sift through the piles of resumes and pull out the best, most experienced candidates. Then we perform personal interviews, reference checks, and background checks to make sure the candidate really is an outstanding tutor with the experience and personality we are looking for.

Qualifications of a Math Tutor

Our tutors are highly qualified. We look for tutors with a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a math, engineering or science major. If the tutor does not have a math-related degree, we look for experience teaching, tutoring, or working with math in a professional environment. Many of our math tutors are seeking higher degrees in math, science, or engineering fields.

Qualifications of All Our Tutors

All of our tutors show that they have successful experience working with young people, and the personality that is most effective in generating rapport with students.

Areas of Math That We Tutor

There are many subjects all rolled into the one topic of "Math" so we thought it would be appropriate to talk about the different areas of math and how we approach them with students.

Kindergarten Through 5th Grade Math Tutors

Students develop their math foundation in these formative years, and our math tutors can help.

6th Grade, 7th Grade, and 8th Grade Math Tutors

These years are critical, because the foundations for algebra are being put into place starting in 6th grade, and continuing until the student takes Algebra 1.

Algebra 1 Tutors

Traditionally, students take this in 9th grade, however it is common for 8th and even 7th graders to take it.

Geometry Tutors

Traditionally a 10th grade class, this can pose problems or be a relief from Algebra, depending on the student.

Algebra 2 Tutors and Algebra 2 with Trig Tutors

More advanced Algebraic concepts are covered here, and many schools add in trigonometry.

Trigonometry Tutors

Some schools offer a separate trigonometry course that goes deeper into the topic.

Pre-Calculus Tutors

As the name implies, this is the pre-cursor to calculus, where the study of functions deepens.

AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC Tutors

Some private schools offer non-AP Calculus courses too.

AP Statistics Tutors

This class is a change of pace. It can either be a welcome relief from calculus, or a very difficult transition.
