Online Math Classes for Kids, One-to-One

How it works, in short

TaleemSquare's online math classes are live, one-to-one lessons for children in Kindergarten to Grade 12 (ages 5-18): one tutor, one child, 45 minutes on Zoom with a shared whiteboard. Each class follows your child's grade and the unit their school is on, from counting to calculus. Your child keeps the same tutor every week, and you get a short WhatsApp update after each class.

Plans cost $85, $119 or $149 a month in US dollars for two, three or four classes a week, about $10.63, $9.92 or $9.31 a class, billed monthly with no contract or registration fee. The first class is a free 45-minute assessment with no card needed, and if your child isn't confident after the first four paid classes, we refund those four classes.

What changes after a term of lessons

Lessons happen on a shared whiteboard, so your child solves while the tutor watches and guides (example lesson).

Fewer gaps holding them back

Topics missed in earlier grades are found and retaught, so new work at school starts to make sense.

Asks for help early

With no classmates watching, your child says when they are stuck instead of hiding it until the test.

Keeps up with the class

Lessons track the unit your child is on at school, so homework and quizzes feel familiar.

What we cover

Lessons follow your child's own school or homeschool curriculum. These are the areas we work on most at this level.

Number sense and arithmetic

Counting, place value, the four operations and times tables, taught with objects and pictures before written methods.

Fractions, decimals and percentages

The upper elementary topics that middle school math builds on, taught from visual models before the rules.

Ratios and pre-algebra

Proportional reasoning, negative numbers and expressions: the bridge from arithmetic to algebra in middle school.

Algebra 1 and Algebra 2

Linear equations, functions, quadratics and exponentials, worked through one step at a time.

Geometry and trigonometry

Angles, proofs, area and volume, right triangles and the unit circle.

Precalculus, calculus and statistics

Senior courses including AP Calculus, AP Precalculus and AP Statistics, and their UK, Canadian and Australian equivalents.

Homework and test review

Class time for this week's assignment or a review before a unit test, whenever your child needs it.

Signs your child could use help

Your child goes quiet in group lessons and never asks questions
The class at school moved on before your child understood
Math grades have slipped over the past year
Math homework ends in frustration most evenings
There is no good math center near you
You want a fixed weekly time with a tutor who knows your child

One of these on its own is normal. Two or three together usually point to a specific gap, and finding it is what the free assessment is for.

Taught to your curriculum, wherever you live

Common Core and state math standards

Classes follow your state's standards and the course your child takes at school, from early number sense through Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2 to AP Calculus, AP Precalculus and AP Statistics.

National Curriculum in England, Reception to Year 13

Classes match your child's year group and the methods their school uses, such as bar models and column methods, through the Year 4 multiplication tables check, Key Stage 2 SATs, GCSE and A-level Maths.

Level: Reception to Year 13

Provincial math curricula, K-12

Classes follow your province's curriculum, such as Ontario, British Columbia or Alberta, including preparation for provincial assessments like EQAO in Ontario.

Level: Kindergarten to Grade 12

Australian Curriculum and state syllabuses, F-12

Classes follow your child's year level and state syllabus, including NAPLAN numeracy in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 and senior courses such as Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics.

Level: Foundation to Year 12

Why a one-to-one class instead of a group

Every question gets answered

In a group, a shy child can sit through a whole lesson confused. One-to-one, the tutor sees the first wrong step and stops to fix it.

The pace is your child's

The tutor slows down on a hard topic and moves on as soon as your child shows they have it, without waiting for anyone else.

Planned from the assessment

Classes start from what the free assessment found, so time goes on the gaps that matter rather than topics your child already knows.

Honest when a group is better

The Education Endowment Foundation finds small group tuition effective too, and more cost-effective. If a group would suit your child better, we will say so at the assessment.

Fractions and multiplication practice worksheet — Practice set for between lessons (example).

Student progress report showing math skills — Progress by skill, reviewed with you (example).

WhatsApp message from a math tutor to a parent — A WhatsApp update after every class (example).

Full pricing and how we compare

Common worries, honest answers

“Will my child really focus in a video class?”

In a class your child is writing on the shared whiteboard and talking through each step, not watching a video. The tutor moves between a quick review, one new skill and practice, so no part of the 45 minutes runs long. If your child is young, it helps to sit nearby for the first few classes.

“Is one-to-one worth more than a cheaper group class?”

It depends on your child. A confident child who mainly needs practice may do well in a group, and the Education Endowment Foundation finds small group tuition effective and more cost-effective. For a child with gaps, or one who will not ask a question in front of others, one-to-one means nothing is skipped because the group moved on. On the two-classes-a-week plan, each class works out at about $10.63.

“What if the tutor isn't the right fit?”

Tell us and we will move your child to a different tutor at no cost. There is no contract holding you, and the start is covered by our 100% money-back promise: if your child is not confident after the first four paid classes, ask within 14 days of the fourth class and we refund those four classes.

Frequently asked questions

Are online math classes good for kids?

They can be, when the class is live and your child does the math rather than watching a screen. The Education Endowment Foundation's review of 123 studies puts one-to-one tuition at about five months of additional progress on average, and its separate review of small group tuition at about four months. In our classes the tutor watches every step of your child's working, so a misunderstanding is fixed the moment it appears, not at the next test.

How much do online math classes cost?

One-to-one online math classes at TaleemSquare cost $85 a month for two 45-minute classes a week, $119 for three or $149 for four, in US dollars: about $10.63, $9.92 or $9.31 per class. You pay monthly in advance by card, with no registration, materials, assessment or cancellation fee and no contract; canceling takes effect at the end of the paid month. UK, Canadian, Australian and UAE families pay from £69, CA$115, A$130 or AED 310 a month.

Are TaleemSquare math classes group classes?

No. Every class is one tutor and one child, and we do not run group classes. One-to-one suits children who have gaps from earlier years, need a topic explained a different way, or are too shy to ask questions in front of classmates. If your child is confident and mainly wants practice with peers, a small group class may suit them better.

Can my child try a class before we pay?

Yes. The first class is a free 45-minute assessment with a tutor. Your child works through a few problems while the tutor finds where the gaps are, and you are welcome to watch. Afterwards you get a short summary and an honest recommendation. No card is needed and there is no obligation to sign up.

Who teaches the classes?

Our tutors are based in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Pakistan and India and teach in English. Before teaching their first class, each one is identity-verified and reference-checked and has passed a subject test, a spoken-English assessment and a live sample lesson. Your child has the same tutor every week, and if the fit is not right you can switch to another at no cost.

When are classes held and what do we need?

You choose regular weekly times, including evenings and weekends, in US, Canadian, UK, Australian or UAE time zones. Classes run on Zoom with a shared whiteboard in the browser, so a laptop or tablet with headphones is all your child needs; a stylus helps younger children write. Any class can be rescheduled at no cost with 4 hours' notice.
