Top Math Tutors serving Los Angeles

Travis: Los Angeles Math tutor
Certified Math Tutor in Los Angeles, CA
If my time as a student, teacher, and mentor has taught me anything over the years, it is that simply checking the boxes and getting the right answer is not success. What I value far more is not just telling students the answers to their problems, but providing them with the resources and strategies to arrive at the correct answer themselves. Not only does this empower students, but it also gives them a framework to...

Franky: Los Angeles Math tutor

As an undergraduate of mathematics at UCLA, my fascination with math would be in how it presents itself in every area of study.

Certified Math Tutor in Los Angeles, CA
My objective as a tutor is to deliver maximum life-long values: conceptual understanding, a rekindled love for learning, confidence, genuine self-esteem, and friendship. I deliver these by focusing on conceptual understanding. Most difficulties with the current materials come from not having mastered the earlier concepts or skills. I locate these earlier misunderstandings by asking questions like, "Walk me through this problem and explain your thought process" or "How are you thinking about this problem?" It's...

Los Angeles Math Tutoring FAQ
If you or your student are having a hard time keeping up with math classes, Varsity Tutors can connect you with the best Los Angeles math tutors. These instructors are qualified professionals who can provide you with feedback, instruction, and homework help. Math can be a tough subject, and if you fall behind it can be hard to get caught up. Los Angeles math tutoring can be a great way to get back on track and build confidence.
What sets Los Angeles math tutoring apart from classroom instruction?
Los Angeles math tutors can work with you or your student one-on-one, allowing them to cater to each learner's unique needs and learning style. This stands in contrast to the group learning environment of a traditional classroom in a variety of ways. To begin with, classroom instructors are required to adopt generalized teaching methods in an effort to cater to as many students as possible.
This can result in some students being left out if their teacher's instructional style doesn't gel with their personal needs. Teachers generally have to stick to a class schedule and may have limited amounts of time to work with individual students, so if they fall behind they can find themselves playing catch-up. As math is a cumulative discipline, and new material builds on prior knowledge, once students have fallen off-track it can be a serious challenge to get back up to speed.
Los Angeles math tutoring doesn't have to contend with these issues. Private instructors can identify the specific issues that their students are struggling with and target those mathematical concepts. A personalized curriculum can result in a more streamlined and efficient learning process.
If you have a middle school-aged student who finds word problems to be easy, for instance, but has trouble with the abstract reasoning involved in combining like terms, a tutor can skim over the topics that come to them naturally, freeing up more time to take a deep dive into the subjects that they find challenging. There's no reason for your student to waste their time rehashing concepts that they already understand.
Los Angeles math tutors can use a teaching approach that your student finds easy to grasp, as well. Many people find that they absorb information more readily when it's presented in a format that accords with their personal learning style, be that aural, visual, or kinesthetic. If you have an elementary school student who prefers kinesthetic learning, for example, they could pick up on the fundamentals of fractions if their tutor asks them to use physical divisible objects as a basis for instruction.
Visual learners could benefit if their mentor recontextualizes math as a visual process by diagramming equations and color-coding their component elements. Or, if you're a high schooler who finds auditory methods to be to your liking, your instructor can engage you in discussion-based lessons and present you with lectures.
What are some of the benefits of working with Los Angeles math tutors near me?
A customized lesson plan is a great place to start, but Los Angeles math tutors can bring other advantages to your student's journey through math as well. Private mentors can build a personal relationship with your student, which can improve their attitude towards math and towards school more generally.
Students at any age can be uncomfortable admitting when they don't understand a mathematical concept, regardless of whether that's plotting coordinates, working with probabilities, or learning about limits in calculus. By creating a safe and friendly learning environment tutors can make it easier for your student to become comfortable making the mistakes that are a necessary component of learning any new skill.
Once your student understands that misunderstandings are a natural part of the learning process, they can begin to approach math as an interesting intellectual challenge, becoming more engaged and ultimately more confident in their own abilities.
Los Angeles math tutors can give your student immediate feedback as they study, giving them a more direct connection to math. When teachers return homework or quizzes to students with answers marked as being incorrect, they can't always take the time to explain to their students where they've gone wrong along the way.
This can make math feel more mysterious or arbitrary than it actually is, and can be frustrating or discouraging to your student. Los Angeles math tutors can help your student work through their homework step by step, so they can learn how mathematics actually functions instead of just committing equations to memory without fully understanding them.
If you're a high school or college student, you too can benefit from Los Angeles math tutoring. We can ensure that you're matched with a tutor who has the advanced mathematical knowledge necessary to give you a detailed rundown of high-level math subjects like calculus and trigonometry. Presenting these disciplines from a variety of viewpoints and making them accessible to a range of learners takes a lot of skill, but we can find Los Angeles math tutors who are up to the challenge.
How can I fit Los Angeles math tutoring into a busy schedule?
We're aware that many students have many personal and extracurricular commitments, and that it can be difficult to squeeze in tutoring sessions. But even if you or your student have a tight schedule, we can locate a private instructor whose availability matches your own.
Los Angeles math tutoring is available both online and in person, so you'll have some flexibility when you sign up. Online tutoring, in particular, can make meeting with your instructor more convenient. Remote lessons are provided through our Live Learning Platform, which includes built-in video chat. This means that you or your student can study with an instructor face-to-face from wherever you feel most motivated, distraction-free, and ready to learn, whether that's your own home, a cafe in the neighborhood, or a library like the West Hollywood Library or the Los Angeles Public Library's Memorial Branch. All that's needed is a stable internet connection and a compatible device like a laptop or smartphone.
The Live Learning Platform also allows your student to incorporate a variety of integrated learning utilities into their lessons. There's a shared document editor, a virtual whiteboard that instructors can use to sketch geometry problems or write equations, and sets of practice problems that your student can use to learn new concepts.
All lessons delivered through the platform are recorded automatically, so if you or your student would like to return to previous material to refresh your memory you'll be able to do so on your own time.
How can I find Los Angeles math tutors near me?
The educational consultants at Varsity Tutors will be more than happy to give you more information about Los Angeles math tutoring and can get you or your student signed up quickly and without a hassle. We can get right to work searching for a private mentor who has the educational background and teaching skills to provide a high-quality learning experience, and can find instructors in as little as 24 hours.
So why wait? Math can be challenging at any grade level, but tutors can transform mathematics into a fun and engaging subject. Give Varsity Tutors a call today to get started.
