Frequently Asked Questions
6th grade marks a significant shift from learning math procedures to understanding the concepts behind them. Students move beyond just getting the right answer to explaining why their methods work, which includes tackling fractions, decimals, ratios, and introductory algebra. This conceptual jump can feel challenging, but personalized tutoring helps students build confidence by connecting new ideas to what they already know.
Word problems require students to translate real-world situations into mathematical language—a skill that takes practice and strategy. Expert tutors work with students to break down problems step-by-step, identify what information matters, and choose the right approach. With consistent practice and personalized feedback, students learn to see patterns and build the confidence to tackle unfamiliar problem types.
Showing work helps teachers understand your student's thinking and catch errors early—it's not just about the final answer. In 6th grade, this skill becomes crucial because it builds problem-solving strategies that carry forward to algebra and beyond. Tutors can help students organize their thinking clearly on paper, which often improves both accuracy and understanding.
Math anxiety often stems from feeling rushed or misunderstood in a classroom setting. One-on-one instruction allows students to ask questions without pressure, work at their own pace, and celebrate small wins—all of which build genuine confidence. When students see themselves successfully solving problems they once found scary, their mindset shifts from "I can't do math" to "I can figure this out."
Yes—Mesa's 37 school districts use various math programs, and expert tutors are familiar with different approaches, whether your student's school uses traditional methods, problem-based learning, or a hybrid model. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can align their instruction with your student's specific curriculum and teaching style, ensuring consistency between tutoring and classroom learning.
The first session is focused on understanding your student's current level, learning style, and specific challenges—whether that's fractions, multi-step equations, or building overall confidence. The tutor will ask diagnostic questions, identify gaps, and develop a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and goals. This foundation ensures that every future session builds exactly what your student needs.
Most students benefit from 1-2 sessions per week, though the ideal frequency depends on your student's specific needs and goals. Many students show improved confidence and understanding within 3-4 weeks of consistent tutoring, with stronger grades and test performance typically following within 6-8 weeks. Your tutor will work with you to adjust frequency based on progress and upcoming assessments.
Varsity Tutors matches you with expert tutors based on your student's learning style, specific challenges, and goals—not just subject knowledge. You can discuss your student's personality, whether they prefer structured lessons or exploratory learning, and any particular topics that need attention. This personalized matching ensures your student connects with someone who can explain math in a way that clicks for them.
