Transform how you feel about math.

Math and physics are the language of the universe — hiding inside the music your student loves, the sports they play, the things they dream about. But most students never hear it that way. When they do, everything changes.

The Alexander Difference

Passion + Purpose = Empowered

When math serves what your student loves, it has a purpose. With a purpose, they stop asking “When will I ever use this?” and start using it to go after what they want.

Read our four-year study of Passion + Purpose tutoring →

Find Their Spark = Passion

Every student already loves something. We find it: soccer, music, coding, art. Then we match them with a tutor who loves it too and can show them the math already running inside it. Angles on a corner kick. Ratios in a chord.

Google

“Sam has a really nice and easy communication style and once he found out that my daughter loves soccer he added a lot of soccer themes to his teaching (angles, corners, distance etc.). My daughter really liked his style and she was more than happy to continue with Sam as her tutor.”


— Mihir M., Parent · Read on Google ↗

Knowing Why = Purpose

Ask anyone what π is and they’ll say 3.14. Ask what it means and you’ll get a blank stare. It’s how many times a circle’s diameter wraps around its edge, and once a student sees that, they never have to memorize it again. Most students survive math on rules like that, until one unfamiliar problem sinks them. We teach the why behind every formula, so when the curveball comes, they knock it out of the park.

Google

“After the first session with Tyler he came home and could not stop talking about Physics… Last week our son came home from a Physics class literally jumping up and down. He had been able to explain a process in class as one of the only ones because Tyler had explained it to him in an interesting conversation they had the day before.”


— Yasmin D., Parent · Read on Google ↗

Math Becomes the Dream = Empowered

Then something shifts. The soccer player stops doing homework and starts working out free-kick angles. The future engineer stops asking for the formula and starts asking what else it can build. At that point it isn’t math anymore. It’s their dream, and they’re the one driving it.

“Krishann has improved my daughter’s math skills, has also improved how she feels about math, and this translates to improving how she feels about herself as a learner… If they had their own school, we would enroll full time.”

What relief sounds like.

“It’s such a relief to know that my kids are going to be able to advance in math and science in ways that I personally can’t help them.”

Alexander Tutoring has been life changing for our family. My son had a very old school and persnickety teacher, who couldn’t effectively teach 4th grade math and had all the kids and parents in a tizzy. I first tried a math center near the school but when that made absolutely no difference, I bit the bullet and signed him up for Alexander Tutoring. Not only did he end up loving his math tutor (shout out to Sam!), his confidence and math grades went up exponentially. Working with Sam over the course of his hour, he could do homework, go over tests, practice for tests, or learn new concepts /solidify tricky concepts…the truly individualized nature of the tutoring sessions allowed him to get the help he needed and level up his skills. And the best part is that Sam made it fun!! My son even started to love certain parts of math - long division is “easy” and fractions are “fun.” Alexander Tutoring is worth the cost and more - everyone who works there is awesome and super helpful. They care about kids and families and are skilled at what they do. Alexander Tutoring forever!

How do you find the right fit? How do you find a tutor that aligns with your goals? How do you find a reliable, effective company? How do you find a tutor who teaches in a relatable way? Well, the short answer is, look no further. You have found them right here. I hesitated for quite a while to find a tutor for my daughter. She is a great student but lacked confidence in math. Starting her freshman year at an academically challenging high school on Zoom was finally what pushed me to seek outside help. She was doing well but still felt like she didn't really "get it". I was looking for the lightbulb to switch on and Alexander Tutoring is doing just that. They believe, as I do, that math is doable and is not impossible. The key is confidence. They believe there is often a "moment" where a normally confident kid suddenly feels like they "can't do math". A bad grade, a bad teacher, and an embarrassing moment. They work to undo that in a supportive, constructive environment. They are well priced, extremely flexible, and have a large enough staff so your kid can find the tutor with whom they jive. They have been doing remote before the pandemic and have it down to a science. And it's one on one tutoring. We love this program and am so happy we found them!

My daughter has struggled with math for a long time and has had many tutors over the years. We started with James at Alexander tutoring the beginning of 11th grade and, for the very first time, she got an “A” in math class. She was so proud of herself! James is kind, friendly and patient and is a great match for my daughter. The entire team at Alexander tutoring is helpful and easily reachable. I am so glad we found them.

Amazing experience!! First, let me just say that Angelique is an exceptional teacher and an incredible person. She connected with my daughter immediately, fostering trust and developing a genuine bond over time. I believe their connection truly transformed my daughter’s strong aversion to math. Her test scores steadily improved—from the 60s and below to the 80s and 90s. Most strikingly, my daughter now actually looks forward to her weekly tutoring sessions. I highly recommend Alexander Tutoring for their outstanding administration, dedicated teachers, thoughtful approach, and easy-to-use platform. What truly sets them apart from competitors is their commitment to understanding each child’s unique abilities, challenges, and personality. This was a key part of the initial assessment process and helped ensure the perfect instructor match. That made a world of difference for my daughter. (Thank you, Jill!)

I cannot recommend Alexander Tutoring enough. From so many angles can I affirm their reliability, spot-on help, expertise in this work, and in particular, expertise with teenagers. As a parent and educator, I am in awe of this team and how they deliver help as though it is on a cloud with a rainbow connected. For students at my school, the communication and feedback is excellent for parents. For me, having a child who doubled up on math and thought his head would officially explode at the pace, the help from Alexander Tutoring has transformed his experience and feelings about math as within his realm. He's talking about math next year as someone who now feels capable and game, all after wondering if he should even pursue higher math earlier this year. They make a difference in kids' and families' lives and believe wholeheartedly in what they do. So glad they exist and wish this for any child needing to believe in their inherent capabilities.

Alexander tutoring is the whole 9 yards in terms of providing student-centered tutoring for physics and math. Starting from making the right student to tutor match by considering personality and learning styles and focusing on the foundational concepts that establish cumulative learning. Our experience with Alexander Tutoring has been nothing short of excellent. In addition to understanding both physics and calculus concepts that have resulted in improved grades (an A in physics!), my daughter has gained a new found confidence and joy that comes from learning and comprehension. I can’t say enough about the individuals on the Alexander Tutoring team who make this possible every week! Thank you Rebecca (physics) Gerard (calculus), Sean and Jill!

Jonathan has been a fantastic math tutor for my daughter during her sophomore year. His calm approach has helped her build confidence in the subject that she once found intimidating. She started the math class without any tutoring, however, she quickly realized that she needed more help and a tutor who could bring her grades up. Being a straight A student, it was difficult to accept her lower grades and it affected her confidence. We heard about Alexander tutoring and thought to give it a try. It was easy to connect with the staff at Alexander tutoring, they were able to match the perfect tutor for my daughter and within two sessions, my daughter felt more confident in Algebra, her test scores improved and she was looking forward to the one hour tutoring sessions with Jonathan. He understands his students and explains concepts in a manner tailored to each student. He is incredibly patient and provided tips on understanding some of the difficult concepts. My daughter had not only improved her grades but also developed a genuine interest in math thanks to Jonathan’s support. We are so grateful to Alexander tutoring team for helping my daughter gain her confidence and helping her score higher grades(D to B+). I highly recommend Jonathan to any family looking for a thoughtful and a very effective tutor.

My 8th grader was so demoralized about math before working with Rebecca. In addition to identifying and targeting her areas of struggle with the school material, Rebecca also worked hard to dismantle my daughter's math anxiety and shame. She built a ton of trust and managed to really connect with a teen who until then had been doing her best to hide her deficits, racing through material too fast, pretending not to care, or shrugging it off as "I guess I just suck at math." Together they worked to fill the gaps left after struggling through the pandemic and remote classes, and get my daughter excited about the subject again. She brought her grade from a C to an A, but more importantly, she's not embarrassed to ask for help anymore. Rebecca is a game-changer. We've also really utilized the skills videos and progress reports provided in addition to tutoring.

I am telling you: If *my* rising 8th grader can do well in math after working with an Alexander Math tutor, anyone will. She worked with Gerald all summer, which she was less than delighted to hear when we told her about it, but she quickly stopped complaining after they started their work together. Last night she told us that she'd like to KEEP working with him once school starts so she doesn't fall behind. What? Thank you Gerald and Sean for giving her the confidence to go back to school this week feeling confident.

Rebecca has been a phenomenal tutor for our daughter both years, helping her to regain her innate love of math and get excellent grades in the process. Rebecca excels at demystifying complex concepts and making the work fun and accessible. Jill and Travis, who manage operations, calendaring, and other logistics are super responsive and easy to work with. The whole team listens and works to make sure the schedule and tutor relationship are good matches for your student's unique needs. They are great!

Alexander Tutoring is really awesome! Our family and our student are really happy with the results from the summer tutoring program. Our tutor James was very pleasant. He explained each learning objective so it could easily be understood. He was also able to quickly identify target areas and offer educational tools and solutions. The program is very organized and hits the target - to increase interest, confidence, and ability in math. We have completed the summer program and periodically receive follow up lessons to keep our student's math skills on point. Our student is now a high school senior and feels confident in her ability to understand and do math. We definitely recommend Alexander Tutoring to other students who are challenged by math and/or are looking to advance in math. Thanks AT!

The team at Alexander Tutoring makes it easy for you to find wonderful math tutors and coaches and get the 1:1 attention you want for your child to support their learning. We’ve enjoyed having both Krystal and Krishann teach our students and while kids typically don’t want to spend more time “learning”, they’re never really any complaint before or after the sessions :).

When my daughter was looking to go beyond her middle school math class, we were fortunate to find Alexander Tutoring. My daughter worked weekly with her fantastic tutor, Jonathan, throughout 7th & 8th grade. He not only helped her fill in the gaps in Algebra I so that she was able to successfully place into Honors Algebra II for high school (her goal!), but was also super flexible and engaged with her in exploring advanced conceptual math (for example, venturing into trigonometry and calculus, and particularly quantum physics) The online platform, which she was apprehensive about at first, worked really well, and she always looked forward to going online for her tutoring sessions. We would absolutely continue with Jonathan in high school, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Alexander Tutoring again to provide support for my younger daughter, who struggles with math, as she heads into middle school.

Alexander tutoring has been a wonderful resource for my son as he navigates high school math. His instructors, Gerald, quickly established a great rapport with him and they were able to get to work right away. My son's grades and confidence improved with Gerald's support. We look forward to working with him in the future as well. We have had substitute teachers when Gerald wasn't available and they were all wonderful. So it looks like you can't go wrong with anyone at Alexander tutoring. I highly recommend this business to give your children a leg up in math .

My daughter was feeling wholly defeated and distressed by her Honors Trig & AP Bio classes. To the point she was considering dropping her STEM-focused hopes for college. She started working with Rebecca and that changed everything. Rebecca identified challenges, shored up her foundational skills, and taught her methods and practices that she could build on. My daughter’s confidence and competency made a dramatic about-face, and her outcomes on both tests and transcript reflect that shift. She feels confident about the upcoming challenge of Physics and Statistics next year, knowing Rebecca, and her colleagues at Alexander Tutoring, are available to support her.

My daughter has been struggling with geometry in high school. We signed up with Alexander Tutoring and she has been working with Gerald. A friend of hers in the same class signed up first and told her, with great enthusiasm, "you HAVE to get Gerald!" My daughter enjoys the tutoring sessions and reports that Gerald is able to explain concepts to her in ways that she understands, and that he also has a sense of humor, which she appreciates. There is zero foot dragging or complaining before her tutoring appointments. My only regret is that we got her started in the spring, when she was already having a lot of trouble, instead of getting ahead of the problem earlier. Her grades are up and her overall attitude about math is much improved. Thanks Gerald!

How it Works

Getting started is simple.

Three steps. The first one costs nothing.

  • No credit card required
  • Full Semester Guarantee

1. Book Your Risk-Free Lesson

No credit card. No commitment. No catch. Your student works through real problems one-on-one while the tutor watches where they hesitate. Afterwards you get a skills assessment that reveals exactly which gaps are holding them back. It’s yours to keep either way.

2. Find the Right Tutor

The biggest factor in your student’s success isn’t the curriculum. It’s the chemistry. We match on personality, passions and learning style, and 80% of students click with their first tutor, 95% by the second. Not the one? Try another, free, as many times as it takes.

3. Watch Them Take Charge

Weekly one-on-one tutoring, plus nightly office hours so homework help never waits for the next session. No contract, cancel anytime, and the whole semester is guaranteed. Confidence comes first. The grades follow.

Meet Our Math, Physics & Chemistry Tutors

Math & Physics Tutoring: What Families Ask Most

What happens during the risk-free lesson?

Your student meets one-on-one with a tutor and works through real problems together while the tutor observes where they hesitate, which foundational skills might be shaky, and how they approach problem-solving. Afterward, you’ll receive a complimentary skills assessment with a 30-day game plan — yours to keep no matter what.

Every level of math: pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, pre-calculus and calculus through AP Calculus. Plus physics through AP Physics, chemistry, and SAT Math, ACT Math and ACT Science. Every lesson is one-on-one and online.

We don’t tutor SAT Reading & Writing or ACT English. We’d rather be the best in the country at what we do.

Try another one. And another. You get as many risk-free trial sessions as it takes to find the perfect match — no credit card, no charge. We match the right tutor on the first try about 80% of the time, and our second-attempt success rate is over 95%. You’ll know when it clicks.

Because the most important factor in your student’s success is the quality of their tutor — not their zip code. By recruiting nationally, we find educators like Rebecca (triple major, two master’s degrees) who you’d never have access to locally. Our sessions use a digital whiteboard where your tutor writes math in real-time with a tablet and stylus. It’s true one-on-one attention with no distractions — nothing like the Zoom classroom your kid endured during COVID.

We work with families across the country, with dedicated teams in San Francisco, the Bay Area, New York and more.

One-on-one tutoring is $895/month: a dedicated weekly session with your tutor, nightly office hours for homework help, monthly progress reports, and direct tutor access between sessions. If your student only needs homework help, office hours on their own are $295/month. No signup fee. No contract. Cancel anytime. And it’s all backed by our Full Semester Guarantee — if you’re not satisfied at the end of the term, we refund you in full. Compare all plans and pricing.

In our four-year study of 147 students, math growth on the national MAP Growth test averaged about twice what national norms project for similar students (6.7 vs. 3.3 points), and 57% met or beat their individual projection. But parents tell us the real transformation happens faster — their student stops dreading homework, starts volunteering answers in class, and actually feels proud of their math work.

The broader research agrees: a review of randomized trials found that tutoring produces some of the largest learning gains of any school intervention (Nickow, Oreopoulos and Quan, 2020).

That’s exactly what we specialize in. If your student says they hate math or they’re “just not a math person,” that’s almost always the result of a specific experience — a harsh teacher, an embarrassing moment in class, one bad test that spiraled. It’s not about intelligence, and it’s not too late. We find the foundational gaps holding them back (you’d be surprised how many high school seniors still struggle with fractions from 4th grade), rebuild from there, and rewrite the story. Our tutors remember what it felt like not to get it. So the moment your student thinks “I’m too stupid for this,” someone is right there to show them they aren’t, and “I can’t” becomes “I’ve got this.”
