    We had a very positive experience with Alissa as a tutor for our pod of 5th grade boys from January - June 2020. She cared a lot about the boys and worked hard to create meaningful activities for them. The pod experience was invaluable … More for all of our families during a difficult year and we were so grateful to have found this partnership! We also want to appreciate Craig for helping to match us with a tutor on very short notice after we had cycled through a few folks who were not able to see the commitment through. Thanks for sticking with us!
  • Avatar S CL ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Dusty was the exact person we needed to help our child finish out the school year. So grateful to him for the way he steadily encouraged her and helped her stay on track and organized. He is flexible, responsive to our needs/schedule as … More a family, and a delight to be with. We are also thankful that Craig at Themba Tutors really "gets it" and partnered us with such a wonderful tutor who was a great fit for our girl.
  • Avatar Nicole May ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    My child worked with Gillian D virtually for math enrichment. She is an excellent teacher. She took time to understand my child's specific learning style and provided tools that would be engaging. She was kind and empathetic- really … More made it her goal to connect with my child and build trust and rapport. My child started the school year with confidence and without the typically "brain-drain" that occurs over the summer, thanks to Gillian.

    Our son started in a new high school, 100% remote, and was really struggling with Latin and Physics. I found Themba Tudors online and had an initial call with Craig, who was very knowledgeable, responsive, and found 2 amazing tutors for … More us. Both the Latin and the physics tutors were fantastic, connected with my son really well and helped him go from 'failing' grade to 'honors'! I will for sure continue using (and recommending!) Themba Tutors. Thank you, C, K, and W!

  • Avatar Christine Gennetti ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    As an adult student diagnosed with a learning disability during grad school, I knew I needed help dealing with my Master's program's demanding workload. I was seriously considering dropping out when I was referred to Themba Tutors. … More I was paired up with a wonderful tutor, Julie, who was a total lifesaver. I learned many techniques that I can utilize in the future as I embark on the next phase of my career.
    I can wholeheartedly say after working with Themba for two years that I would not have finished my program without this organization. And I am so thankful I selected them.

    We were introduced to a wonderful tutor: Mcedwyn. He and our son, a freshman in college, worked well together. As a result, our son’s grades significantly improved. The tutor taught our son subject content and various methods to effectively … More study for quizzes and exams. Our son was also taught time management and organization. My son’s experience with the tutor made the first year of college a less intimidating experience.
  • Avatar Jude Eugene ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    We have been with our tutor, Cailin Schiller, for two years, from 5th - 7th grade. She started as an executive functioning tutor with my daughter. From the start, she demonstrated a depth of expertise and a selective use of techniques skillfully … More adapted to my daughter’s ADHD and Math disability. Cailin made Math accessible and understandable to her in a way that even her teachers had not been able to do. She differentiated reading, writing and math tasks and assignments to tailor them to my daughter’s unique learning differences. Not only did it have an effect on her grades and her work efficiency, but she finally could do her work with less anxiety. Even my daughter’s teachers used Cailin’s guidance to modify their work with her. But most importantly, she became my daughter’s favorite resource. I can’t say how invaluable Cailin has been to my daughter’s progress and well-being. I’d recommend her a million times over. She is a gem.

    We were very lucky to have found Edwouine Swift, my son's therapist through Themba Tutors. Thomas is 12 years old, and it is extremely difficult to get him to write. Edwouine just works her magic with him, he adores her and is so … More eager to follow her guidance. I have no doubt she will be a positive driving force in his academic future.

Algebra 2, Geometry, and Advanced Math Topics for Students

Algebra 2 tutoring in the NYC metro area requires more than general homework help.

We do not provide homework help. We build structured academic systems that improve execution, consistency, and long-term math performance across math classes, including geometry, advanced algebra, and college algebra.

We provide structured, in-person and online tutoring for students navigating Regents exams, AP coursework, and college preparatory tracks. Algebra 2 introduces challenging topics such as linear equations, quadratic functions, rational expressions, rational equations, and polynomial division.

These difficulties often lead to inconsistent execution, gaps in solving equations, and declining grades.

Themba Tutors provides structured Algebra 2 tutoring designed to help students master complex math concepts and improve performance. Each algebra 2 tutor on our team focuses on building consistency, execution, and long-term academic confidence.

Systems of Equations, Graphs, and Problem-Solving Questions

Our approach focuses on structured systems, performance tracking, and alignment with school curriculum pacing.

Students develop mastery through guided practice, targeted lessons, and consistent exposure to practice problems, practice tests, and real exam-style questions.

Our expert tutors and each experienced tutor focus on solving multi-step problems, including systems of equations, quadratic formula applications, factoring, and interpreting graphs.

We also help students complete assignments efficiently and improve their approach to solving complex questions under time pressure.

Expert Algebra 2 Tutors for High School and College Students

Our expert tutors provide structured feedback to both students and parents, ensuring full visibility into progress and performance.

This collaborative approach leads to improved grades, stronger understanding of quantitative reasoning, and long-term academic success.

We work with middle school, high school (including 12th grade), and college students across NYC and surrounding regions. Whether your child needs help preparing for exams or keeping up with accelerated coursework, we match them with the right algebra 2 math tutor for their academic needs.

Online Tutoring, Flexible Hours, and Personalized Tutoring Sessions

ALGEBRA 2 TUTORING RESULTS & TESTIMONIALS

We were very pleased with Susan’s services. Her communication with my husband and myself was excellent. Most importantly, my son did not mind working with her. I am also thrilled to share that my son received a High Pass on the Regents and earned a 95 in Algebra this semester.

Alissa was really wonderful and we hope to work with her again in the fall. Our daughter loved her and their work together really helped turn around our daughter’s performance in Algebra.

My child worked with Gillian D. virtually for math enrichment. She is an excellent teacher. She took time to understand my child’s specific learning style and provided engaging tools. She was kind and empathetic—she really made it her goal to connect with my child and build trust and rapport. Thanks to Gillian, my child started the school year with confidence and without the typically “brain drain” that occurs over the summer.

 

-Nicole May

Jordan tutored our son in 7th grade math. We had a wonderful experience with Jordan. He was knowledgeable, always on time, and came up with some good strategies for our son to tackle difficult math concepts. Our son has a nonverbal learning disability, so working with him can be somewhat challenging at times. But Jordan was always up to the task!
