The Top Math & Science Tutors in NYC

Although our primary focus is on math, science, and test prep for exams like the SAT, ACT, and SHSAT, our tutors have a wide range of expertise covering subjects from English to history, foreign languages, social studies, computer science, and more.

We begin with a phone consultation to discuss your student’s academic history, understand their challenges, and identify your goals. We may review recent schoolwork or test scores to customize our tutoring plan. For students preparing for standardized tests or specific exams, we recommend establishing a baseline score and provide clear instructions to do so. 

Our matching process is parent-driven and begins with a consultation to understand your child’s academic needs, learning style, and preferences.

Using this information, we carefully select tutors who align with your child’s personality and your criteria, including subject expertise, teaching style, and shared interests. You’ll then choose from a curated list of suitable tutors, ensuring a good fit.

While learning centers may be helpful for some students, they are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Learning centers may be a good choice for a student that simply needs more practice, however they often fail at identifying and filling in a student’s conceptual gaps.

One-on-one tutoring is much better suited for this challenge, as tutors can craft lesson plans to address each student’s unique needs.

As a simple Google search will reveal, there are myriad tutoring companies, many of whom rely on Ivy-League buzz words to attract ambitious and well-intentioned learners.

We take a different approach, focusing instead on finding great tutors who connect with their students. On top of selecting for proven academic excellence, Brooklyn Math Tutors seeks dynamic individuals who are fun to work with, understanding of student needs, and passionate about their own interests.

For most students seeking general support and improvement, we recommend one one-hour session per week. Students who are significantly behind may benefit from two to three sessions weekly while they catch up. Less frequent sessions, such as biweekly or before tests, suit students who are doing well but need occasional support. We’ll discuss your child’s needs during the consultation to create a tailored schedule.

For math-specific tutoring, our tutors often use virtual whiteboards and other digital tools to ensure sessions are interactive and effective. While virtual tutoring has its challenges, such as adapting to online engagement, a major advantage is the ease of and flexibility of scheduling, as well as tutor availability.

Hybrid tutoring, where students can combine in-person and online sessions, is also available. Contact us to discuss how virtual tutoring can meet your student’s needs!
