    Whether you need to catch up on the basics or aim for a top score on a college entrance exam, I work directly with you to create a plan that gets results.

  • When you contact PrivateMath.com, you work only with me—not a rotating list of tutors. I get to know how your child thinks, where they’re getting stuck, and how fast we can move. Sessions are calm, one‑on‑one, and focused on understanding the “why” behind the math, not just memorizing steps. Parents often tell me this personal approach lowers stress and leads to more lasting progress.

  • Virtual tutoring provides the same face-to-face connection as sitting at a table together, but with several practical advantages that in-person tutoring simply can't offer:

    ‍ ‍Flexible Scheduling: We can meet early in the morning before school or later in the evening, times that are usually impossible for in-person centers.

    ‍ ‍Zero Commute Stress: There is no driving, drop-off, or pick-up, so parents don't waste time in traffic. Tutoring can happen even while parents are at work since the student just logs in from home.

    ‍ ‍Instant Access to Resources: Because the student is at their own desk, they have all their school binders, textbooks, and calculators right there. We don't have to worry about "forgetting a book" at home.

    ‍ ‍ Digital Note-Taking: We use an interactive whiteboard where I can write out steps clearly. At the end of the session, the student gets a digital copy of all our notes to use as a study guide—something that often gets lost or becomes messy with paper and pencil.

    ‍ ‍Real-Time Homework Help: With screen-sharing, we can work directly inside their school’s online portals (like Canvas, ALEKS, or MyMathLab). I can see exactly what the teacher is seeing, which makes the help much more accurate.

    ‍ ‍ A Focused, Quiet Environment: Many tutoring centers are loud and distracting. Online, the student is in their own quiet space, wearing a headset, which helps them stay focused on the math for the entire hour.

    By choosing online, you get the same high-quality, one-on-one instruction, but with a level of convenience and technical support that makes the learning process much smoother.

  • For students who feel "lost" or "behind," I offer a specialized approach to identify and fix the specific skills missing from previous years. This service is designed to lower math anxiety and rebuild a student's confidence from the ground up.

  • Beyond just solving problems, I teach students how to study math, how to organize their notes, and how to approach difficult word problems independently so they eventually need less help over time.

  • No. There’s no contract and no minimum number of sessions. I want parents and students to continue only because they see value and progress, not because they’re locked into paperwork.

  • Yes. I offer one‑on‑one SAT, ACT, CLT, AP Math exams, PERT, Accuplacer, FAST and Florida EOCs math prep for students in Boca Raton. We review the key math topics, practice with real test questions, and work on timing and strategy so your teen can improve their score and feel more confident on exam day.
