The tutoring experience
What a session is actually like.
Before you pay for tutoring, you should know what your child will be doing for an hour. Here it is.
- Live on Zoom
- Up to 4 kids
- 60 minutes
- Not recorded
One class at a glance
- Warm-up5 min

- Wrap-up5 min
Your child isn't bad at math.
They learn it once
Then never get to practice it.
The next lesson builds on it
So the gap follows them.
Asking feels weak
So most kids go along, to avoid being left out.
So a session isn't about being fast. It's about finding the idea that wasn't solid, making it make sense, and practicing until it stays.
Before the first session
Your child plays
The arcade is free. It keeps track of the topics they find tricky.
You see where they stand
The free 15-question check-in shows you, in plain words.
The tutor looks first
Class one starts with the real problem, not a guessing game.
I don't want to take your money if your child doesn't need it. If the check-in says they're at grade level, we'll tell you.
Small-group class · Toughest Topics
One class, minute by minute
Every class has the same rhythm, so your child always knows what comes next.
Minutes 0–5
Warm-up
Five quick questions from the last class, in the chat. Pulling an idea out again is what makes it stick.
Minutes 5–20
Teach
Worked examples on a shared screen, thinking said out loud. Your child tries the next one before the answer is shown.
Minutes 20–40
Guided practice
Your child works the problems on a whiteboard on Zoom while the tutor watches. Stuck is fine. One student explains a step to the group.
Minutes 40–55
Games
Games that review what you just learned. Practice that feels like play is practice that gets repeated.
Minutes 55–60
Wrap-up
One last question in the chat. The tutor notes who got it, so next class starts with what is still shaky.
Review days: classes 8 and 16
A review, then a 20-minute test in lockdown mode, then 20 minutes going over it together.
Two ways to learn with a tutor
Small group
- Up to 4 kids, same grade
- The hardest concepts of the grade, in order
- Same rhythm every class
- Eight weekends, with a midpoint and final test
Homework help
- One-on-one
- Built around what they are doing in school right now
- Tonight's homework, Friday's quiz, a unit that went too fast
- The tutor fills the gap underneath it
How it should feel to your child
Not rushed
Kids stop trying when they feel rushed or embarrassed. Tutors slow down and point out progress.
Seen
Small enough that the tutor notices who is stuck, even when nobody says so.
Visual first
Number lines, paper strips, pictures. Then the numbers make sense.
Part of a group
Same grade. Hearing a classmate explain it can click faster than hearing an adult.
What you hear afterwards
You should never have to guess how it's going.
Message the tutor
Ask anything, inside Tutorizer. No waiting for a report.
A report every week
What was covered and what is coming next.
A dashboard
Which skills are solid and which still need work.
Safe by design. Tutor accounts are invitation-only, and sessions are not recorded.
What you need. A computer or tablet and a quiet spot. You pick a weekly time from your parent dashboard.
What parents ask
Is it recorded?
What does my child need?
My child hates math. Will this make it worse?
What if my child is quiet?
What if we miss a session?
How big are the groups?
Not sure if your child needs it?
Take the free 15-question check-in first. Then you decide.
