Sophie: Cambridge Math tutor
Certified Math Tutor in Cambridge, MA

Teaching people to...

Cambridge Math Tutoring FAQ
Math is one of the most valuable subjects your child can learn throughout their time in school and beyond. We all use math every day. It is used in a variety of different subjects and has a wide range of practical uses, such as measurement, division, multiplication, percentages, and telling time. Without these skills, your child is likely to have trouble in their classes and in life. If your child is currently having a tough time with math, it may be a good decision to connect them with a private math tutor. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors are happy to try to help you and your child find an independent, professional math tutor in Cambridge.
Our educational directors will connect your child with a math tutor in Cambridge, MA, after considering all of their specific goals and needs. This represents a major benefit over learning math in a traditional classroom setting, because your child's math teacher probably doesn't have enough time to work with individual students. This is not a problem for your child's private tutor though, because their tutor is completely focused on them. Their tutor can identify their strengths and weaknesses, which allows the tutor to devise a study plan that will assist them in getting the most out of their study sessions. Whether your child is having difficulty with statistics, algebraic concepts, fractions, or geometry, their math tutor can create a study plan specifically designed to help them try to do well with their course. Additionally, your child's math tutor is able to assist them in preparing for standardized tests such as the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS).
An expert tutor in Cambridge, MA, can plan engaging study sessions with your child's interests in mind so they can enjoy learning about math. This is often a problem when teaching students math because many of them dislike the subject. Your child's private math tutor is able to offer math games and activities that could help them stay engaged. If they are engaged with the subject, they are much more likely to actually put in the time and effort needed to perform well in their math class.
Your child's tutor is available to meet them at any time and location that is most convenient for you and your child. So whether your child wants to study at your house, at cafe Luna, at the Cambridge Public Library, or at North Point Park, their tutor can meet them there. Their tutor is also able to meet them either in person or face-to-face online. Let a skilled professional tutor in Cambridge teach your child all about math.
