Online Elementary Math Tutoring
Elementary math tutoring that builds rock-solid foundations in numbers and operations, with patient, encouraging tutors.
About online Elementary Math tutoring
The early years are where math confidence is built or broken, and a shaky foundation quietly makes everything later harder. Online elementary math tutoring pairs your child with a patient tutor who builds true number sense - not rote memorizing - and keeps practice engaging and pressure-free.
Our tutors cover the elementary essentials: addition and subtraction, times tables, fractions and decimals, place value, measurement, and early word problems. One-on-one and online, paced to your child and full of encouragement. Your first trial lesson is free.
Online elementary math tutoring gives a young learner one patient tutor for live, one-on-one lessons that build real number sense - understanding how numbers work, not just memorized steps. In the elementary years, small gaps such as place value, times tables or what a fraction really is grow quietly into big ones by middle school, so catching them early is the most valuable thing tutoring can do. Here's how our elementary math tutoring works, what it covers from kindergarten to grade 5, and the signs a child could use some help.
How online Elementary Math tutoring works
Concrete, then pictures, then numbers
Young children understand math best when an idea moves from objects, to drawings, to symbols - counting real things, then drawing them, then writing the number sentence. On the shared whiteboard your child's tutor draws, groups and moves things with them, so every new idea has a picture behind it.
Short, active, encouraging lessons
Lessons change activity often - a game, a few problems on the whiteboard, some quick mental math - and are paced to a young child's attention span. Plenty of encouragement keeps math something children want to do, not something they dread.
Strategies before speed
Fluency matters, but children who learn strategies first - doubles, making ten, using a known fact to work out a new one - remember facts more reliably than those who only drill. Speed comes after understanding, with short, frequent practice.
Built around your child's class
Tutors follow what your child is learning at school, whether that's a US state curriculum, the English national curriculum, the IB Primary Years Programme or another program, and close earlier gaps along the way.
What our Elementary Math tutoring covers
The elementary math topics your tutor will cover
Every plan is tailored to your child's course, but here is the full range an online elementary math tutor can help with - from the foundations through the toughest topics.
- Kindergarten
- Counting and recognizing numbers to 100, comparing groups, adding and taking away within 10, and naming shapes.
- Grades 1-2
- Addition and subtraction within 20 and then 100, place value up to 1,000, measurement, telling time, and money.
- Grade 3
- Multiplication and division within 100 - knowing all the single-digit times tables by the end of the year - plus fractions as numbers on a number line, and area.
- Grade 4
- Multi-digit multiplication and long division, equivalent fractions, adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators, decimals to hundredths, and angles.
- Grade 5
- Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, multiplying fractions, decimals to thousandths, volume, and an introduction to the coordinate plane.
- Word problems & reasoning
- Reading a problem, choosing the operation, drawing a model, and checking whether the answer makes sense - at every grade.
- UK, IB and other curricula
- Key Stage 1 and 2 math in England, including the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check and Year 6 SATs, the IB Primary Years Programme, and other national curricula.
Signs your child could use a elementary math tutor
- They still count on their fingers for basic facts by the end of grade 3.
- Place value is shaky - for example, not sure what the 4 in 340 is worth.
- Times tables haven't stuck despite lots of practice.
- Fractions don't make sense to them as amounts.
- Math homework ends in tears, or they say they're 'bad at math'.
- They're ahead of their class and getting bored.
What students gain
- Real number sense that makes new topics easier to learn.
- Fast, reliable math facts, built on strategies rather than guesswork.
- Confidence with fractions and word problems before middle school.
- A positive attitude to math that lasts.

Elementary Math tutoring FAQs
At what age can a child start math tutoring?+
As soon as it helps - many children start in kindergarten or first grade with short, playful sessions. The right age is less important than readiness: if your child can enjoy a short activity with an adult, they can enjoy a well-run lesson. A free trial lesson shows quickly whether it's a good fit.
Is it a problem if my child counts on their fingers?+
Not early on - fingers are a natural, helpful tool for young children. The goal is to move from counting to recall over time, so that by around the end of grade 3 the basic addition and multiplication facts come quickly. A tutor helps with that transition using strategies, not pressure.
How can I help my child learn their times tables?+
Little and often works best: a few minutes a day, learning related facts together (the 2s, 4s and 8s; the 5s and 10s), and using known facts to work out new ones. Our guide to helping your child memorize multiplication tables has practical ideas, and a tutor can build a plan around the facts your child finds hardest.
Can online tutoring work for young children?+
Yes, with the right setup: short, interactive lessons on a shared whiteboard, and a parent nearby for the first few sessions. Many young children enjoy drawing and playing math games with their tutor on screen.
Do you follow the Common Core or the UK curriculum?+
We follow your child's actual school curriculum - Common Core-based US state standards, the English national curriculum, the IB PYP or another program - and match lessons to what's happening in class.
How much does elementary math tutoring cost?+
Plans depend on grade level and how often you meet - current options are on our pricing page. Your first trial lesson is free, and you can try up to three tutors at no cost.
