How it works, in short

A TaleemSquare private math tutor teaches one student at a time in live 45-minute online lessons. The tutor follows your child's level and school math, explains each step on a shared whiteboard and adjusts the pace, from kindergarten to grade 12. The same tutor teaches each week wherever possible.

Private lessons cost $85 a month for two a week, about $10.63 per lesson. Wyzant says tutors on its marketplace cost $35 to $60 an hour on average. There is no contract, and the first assessment is free.

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).

Full attention every minute

No class to keep up with: every question gets answered and every mistake gets caught in the moment.

A plan built around your child

Lessons follow your child's level, school curriculum and goals, from catching up to moving ahead.

Progress you can see

Regular WhatsApp updates show what was covered, what improved and what comes next.

What we cover

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

Elementary math

Number sense, place value, the four operations, fractions and word problems for kindergarten to grade 5.

Middle school math

Ratios, negative numbers, expressions and equations, and pre-algebra for grades 6 to 8.

Algebra and geometry

Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2, including Integrated Math pathways.

Advanced high school math

Precalculus, calculus and statistics, including AP courses.

Homework and classwork

Help with this week's assignments, so your child understands the method rather than copying an answer.

Tests and exams

Unit tests, state tests and SAT or ACT math, with practice in the real format.

Signs your child could use help

  • Needs more attention than a class or center can give
  • Falls behind when lessons move too fast
  • Is bored in class and ready to move ahead
  • Has a big test or state exam coming up
  • Homework time ends in tears or arguments
  • You want one tutor who gets to know 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

Lessons follow your child's grade and your state's standards, whether that is Common Core, Texas TEKS or another framework, and use school assignments when that helps.

National Curriculum in England

For UK families, tutors follow your child's year group in the National Curriculum, from Key Stage 1 to GCSE, and use school work when it helps.

Level: Reception to Year 13

Provincial math curricula

For Canadian families, lessons follow your province's math curriculum and your child's grade, and can use school assignments as the starting point.

Level: Kindergarten to Grade 12

Australian Curriculum: Mathematics

For Australian families, tutors follow the Australian Curriculum for your child's year level, from Foundation to Year 12, including NAPLAN preparation.

Who teaches your child

Every TaleemSquare math tutor passes the same five checks before their first class. Your child keeps the same tutor each week, and if the fit is not right we switch tutor at no cost. Tutors are based in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Pakistan and India, and all of them teach in English.

How we screen and match tutors
  • Identity and references checked

    Every tutor is identity-verified and reference-checked before teaching a student.

  • Subject test

    Tutors pass a subject test before they are matched with a child.

  • Spoken-English assessment

    Lessons are taught in English, so every tutor passes a spoken-English assessment.

  • Live sample lesson

    Tutors teach a live sample lesson before they are hired, to show they can explain clearly.

  • Open to parents

    Classes are one-to-one in a password-protected room. Sit in on any class or ask for a recording.

Common worries, honest answers

“Is an online private tutor as good as one in person?”

It can be. Lessons are live and interactive: the tutor sees your child's working on a shared whiteboard and corrects mistakes in the moment, with no travel time. The free assessment lets you judge for yourself.

“How are your tutors chosen?”

Tutors are screened with a subject test, a spoken-English check and a live lesson before they teach. You meet the tutor at the free assessment.

“What if it does not work out?”

There is no contract and you can cancel anytime. If your child is not more confident after 4 paid classes, we refund what you paid for them.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private math tutor cost?

Wyzant says tutors on its marketplace cost $35 to $60 an hour on average. TaleemSquare costs $85 a month for two 45-minute one-to-one lessons a week, $119 for three or $149 for four, with no registration, materials or cancellation fees.

What is the difference between a private math tutor and a math center?

A private tutor teaches only your child for the whole lesson. Many math centers have several students working at the same time while an instructor moves between them. Private lessons let the tutor follow your child's thinking step by step.

Can a private tutor help with homework and tests?

Yes. Your child can bring homework, classwork or a test review to any lesson. The tutor explains the method with similar examples, then watches your child do their own work, so the skill sticks.

Which grades and subjects do you cover?

Kindergarten to grade 12, from counting and number sense to Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, calculus and statistics, plus SAT, ACT and state test prep.

When are lessons?

Lessons run in the evening and on weekends in your time zone. You choose times that fit your family when you enroll, and the same tutor teaches each week wherever possible.

Can we try a private tutor before paying?

Yes. The first assessment is free, with no card needed, so you can see the teaching before you pay. After you enroll, the first 4 paid classes are covered by our refund promise.
