How we wrote this
TaleemSquare offers online one-to-one tutoring, so we compete with Cuemath. This review is based on Cuemath's own pages, listed at the end and checked in October 2026, and marketing claims are labelled as Cuemath's. We did not buy a plan.
Cuemath is one of the best-known online math tutoring brands. It began in 2013 with founder Manan Khurma teaching at his home in Delhi and now teaches students in many countries. Its pitch is simple: live, one-to-one math classes with a dedicated tutor, priced by the class on longer plans.
How does Cuemath work?
Classes are live, one-to-one and online. Cuemath says it covers kindergarten to grade 8, plus Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus, and test prep including the SAT, SSAT and AMC 8. It says lessons align with school curriculum.
Cuemath's pricing page lists 40-minute classes, while its about page mentions most students taking two 55-minute sessions a week; confirm the length for your plan. Plans are built around two classes a week.
What does Cuemath cost?
Cuemath's US pricing page lists 6-month plans of 52 classes and 12-month plans of 104 classes, at about $15 to $28.50 per class depending on grade band and plan length. A 12-month plan totals about $1,560 to $2,652; 6-month plans total about $884 to $1,482 plus a $90 platform fee per billing cycle. See our Cuemath pricing guide.
What are the refund and cancellation terms?
Cuemath's policy, effective April 2026, says refunds are pro-rata on remaining classes only, requested within 12 months of the invoice and at least 15 days before that window ends. Payment processing fees are deducted, and financing or bank charges are not refunded. You cancel through Get Support in the app or by email. Pauses may be allowed at Cuemath's discretion but do not extend the refund window.
Who are the tutors?
Cuemath says it hires the top 1% of applicants and vets tutors for empathy, and that it has thousands of tutors. These are Cuemath's own claims. As with any service, ask about your child's tutor's experience with their grade and curriculum, and whether you can switch tutors if the fit is wrong.
What are Cuemath's strengths and limitations?
Strengths
- Live one-to-one math with a dedicated tutor.
- Wide range from kindergarten to AP Calculus, plus test prep.
- Competitive price per class on 12-month plans.
- Published pricing, refund policy and cancellation process.
- Says it aligns lessons with school curriculum.
Limitations
- Sold as 6 or 12 month plans rather than month to month.
- Refunds are pro-rata with deductions, within a fixed window.
- Class length differs between Cuemath pages; confirm before buying.
- Math only, so reading or English help needs another provider.
- Platform fee on 6-month plans.
Which families does Cuemath suit best?
Cuemath tends to suit families who:
- Want one-to-one online math and are confident about committing for months.
- Like the idea of a dedicated tutor and a long-term plan.
- Have a child in elementary or middle school, or taking algebra to calculus.
- Want test prep for exams such as the SAT or AMC 8 alongside regular math.
It is a weaker fit for families who want to test the fit month by month, who need reading help as well as math, or who prefer in-person learning.

Our verdict
Cuemath is a credible option for live one-to-one math with a wide grade range and transparent prices. Its best value comes from 12-month plans, which suit families who are confident about the commitment. If you want to start with less commitment, or need reading and English help too, a month-to-month one-to-one service may fit better.
What to do next
- Confirm the class length and price set for your child's grade.
- Read the refund policy before paying for a 6 or 12 month plan.
- Compare with a free 45-minute math assessment at TaleemSquare, billed monthly from $85.
