Private tutoring in the US runs $50–$100+ an hour, which is why most families only reach for it in crisis mode, after a bad report card. There's a better model: consistent, small-group tutoring at a monthly rate that makes prevention affordable, not just rescue.
Here's how our online math program works for American families, what it costs in dollars, and how it lines up with what your child is doing in school.
Aligned to What US Kids Actually Study
Math. Lessons follow US Common Core progressions, from number sense and fractions through algebra and pre-calculus, and every student starts with a placement assessment so we teach from your child's real level, not their grade sticker. For older students, the same foundation rolls naturally into SAT/ACT prep.
How the Classes Run
- Frequency-based: students attend 2–5 times per week in fixed evening slots (Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific) with the same teacher every session.
- Small groups of 4–6, strictly level-matched, or fully private 1:1.
- Session notes after every class plus WhatsApp support, so you see exactly what was covered.
- Every class, group or 1:1, runs 45–50 minutes.
What It Costs ($/Month)
| Frequency | Group (4–6 kids, per kid) | 1:1 Private |
|---|---|---|
| 2x/week | $69 | $149 |
| 3x/week | $99 | $199 |
| 5x/week | $139 | $299 |
Families already enrolled in our Chess or AI programs get 15% off. PayPal accepted; quarterly prepay saves a further 10%, siblings 10% off the second child. Live prices on the pricing page.
Do the math against local rates: the 2x/week group plan is $69 for 8–10 sessions a month, less than what a single hour of in-person tutoring costs in most US metros.
Why US Families Pick This
- Prevention pricing: affordable enough to run all year, not just before finals
- Common Core alignment with a real placement test, plus SAT/ACT math prep for teens
- Evening slots in your timezone, from home, no drive across town after soccer practice
- Visible progress: session notes after every class
- Many of our families pair academics with a thinking-skills class: see our honest take on chess vs. coding for kids, or our chess classes for US kids
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the math tutoring aligned with Common Core? Yes, lessons follow US Common Core progressions, and a placement assessment at the start pins down your child's actual level so teaching starts from there. Exam-style practice (including SAT/ACT for older students) builds on the same track.
What does online tutoring cost compared to a local tutor? Local private tutors typically charge $50–$100+ per hour. Our level-matched group classes run $69–$139/month for 8–23 sessions, and full private 1:1 runs $149–$299/month, a fraction of per-hour rates, with a curriculum and session notes included.
What timezones do classes run in? Evening slots across Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific time, on a fixed weekly schedule with the same teacher.
Is there a free trial? Yes, a full 30-minute class, free, instant confirmation, no card. Book it here.
