    Christina was absolutely wonderful. She went out of her way to win my son over and it worked. He looked forward to her visits and his speech improved so much under her care.

    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!

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.

    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.

    Themba Tutors provided a leaning specialist that was a perfect fit for my daughter. I told them what we were looking for and they delivered.

    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.

high-school-math-tutoring-brooklyn

Is your high schooler struggling with math? Whether it’s pre-algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, statistics, Exeter math or preparing for the SAT, our Brooklyn-based in-home math tutors are here to help. We specialize in personalized, one-on-one tutoring that makes a real difference, all from the comfort of your home. Our mission is to make math easier and more enjoyable for students, building not just skills but confidence in every lesson.

Many high school students who struggle with math aren’t lacking ability—they’re “smart but struggling” students dealing with executive functioning challenges like organization, focus, pacing, and follow-through.

Our Brooklyn high school math tutoring is designed for students who understand core concepts but struggle to keep up with the pace of instruction, manage assignments, or apply skills consistently across coursework.

Many students know what to do in math class but fall behind because managing assignments, staying organized, and studying consistently is the real challenge.

Struggling with Math? You’re Not Alone.

As a parent in Brooklyn, it’s heartbreaking to watch your child struggle with math. You can see their potential, but for some reason, math just isn’t clicking. It’s frustrating—seeing their confidence slip, watching their test scores drop, and knowing how much they care but don’t know how to make progress. You’ve tried to help, but you don’t have the time or the expertise to make it stick. The pressure of school and testing deadlines are mounting, and your child feels overwhelmed.

Here’s the good news: they don’t have to go through it alone.

At Themba Tutors, we offer in-home math tutoring that meets your child where they are. With our expert, experienced tutors by their side, your child can make steady progress in math and rebuild confidence over time—without the stress of a busy tutoring center or the hassle of running to after-school sessions.

What Parents Are Seeing

We know the challenges you face. In NYC high schools, workload volume and pacing — not intelligence — are often what cause students to fall behind in math.

Our team hears from parents every day about the common struggles students are experiencing in Brooklyn’s classrooms:

  • Homework struggles: Every new math concept seems harder than the last. Your child is frustrated, and you’re not sure how to help.
  • Test anxiety: SAT prep, midterms, finals—tests are looming, and your child is struggling to stay calm and focused.
  • Falling behind: Your child is slipping further behind in class, but every attempt to catch up feels like it’s just not enough.
  • Frustration and low motivation: Your child used to like math, but now they dread it. Every time they open their book, it feels like an impossible task.
  • A lack of personal attention: With large classrooms and little time to ask questions, your child’s learning needs go unmet.
  • Balancing school, work, and extracurriculars: You’re already juggling a packed schedule. Adding another errand to your day isn’t easy, and your child’s commitments are piling up.

We understand the pressure and the emotional toll it takes—on you as a parent and on your child. That’s why we’re here to help in a way that’s simple, effective, and stress-free.

How We Support Students

high-school-math-tutoring-brooklyn-1

At Themba Tutors, we believe that math should never feel impossible. Our tutoring approach is designed to get your child back on track by addressing underlying skill gaps and misunderstandings, not just completing assignments. Every student has a unique learning style, and we take the time to understand how your child learns best.

We also help students improve organization, study habits, time management, and follow-through—skills that are essential for long-term success in high school math.

Here’s how we make a difference:

  • Personalized Learning Plans: We assess where your child is struggling and create a customized learning plan to target those specific areas. Whether it’s mastering algebraic equations, understanding geometric proofs, or prepping for the SAT math section, our lessons are designed to help your child grow step-by-step, in a way that works for them.
  • Building Confidence, One Step at a Time: We don’t just focus on getting the right answers; we focus on helping your child understand the “why” behind the math. Our tutors break down complex concepts into manageable chunks, building confidence and reducing frustration.
  • Support Beyond the Tutor Session: We don’t just solve problems—we teach your child how to solve problems on their own. Our tutors are there to guide and support, but we also equip students with tools and strategies they can use independently.
  • A Stress-Free Environment: Learning happens best when your child feels comfortable. That’s why in-home tutoring is so effective—your child is in a familiar, quiet space where they can focus, ask questions freely, and truly absorb the material without distractions.

We also provide comprehensive remote and in-person math assessments to identify strengths, gaps, and instructional priorities.

TESTIMONIALS

My experience with Themba Tutors was awesome. When I was introduced to the service, I told them my needs, and based on that, they set me up with a range of tutors to choose from. I decided to work with Paul, the best tutor I have ever worked with. I was studying for the New Jersey state teacher exam. I had to research several subject areas, one of which was geometry. Paul helped me understand the math on the test. He explained it to me in a way that made it easy and gave me tools to practice independently. In addition to helping me with geometry skills, he gave wonderful study tips and tricks to help me study the material I had to learn. Paul was a pleasure to work with, and thank him for helping me pass the test.

 

-Esther B.

Paul at Themba has been an exceptional tutor for my son, both in teaching the subject matter and teaching how best to approach the process of learning math and geometry assignments. We feel very fortunate to be working with Paul.

 

-Michael Birnbaum

My daughter, a freshman in a public high school, was struggling in geometry. I got in touch with Blythe at Themba, and she managed to have a wonderful geometry tutor come to my home the following day. She stayed much more than the required time to make sure that my daughter understood all the concepts. She also followed up with us and asked if we had any other questions that she could help with. As a parent, it is a relief to know that you can secure a tutor very quickly who comes straight to your home. A great experience!

 

-Tiphaine B.

Our tutors focus on clear instruction, guided practice, and reinforcing foundational skills so students can approach math with greater independence and confidence. We provide subject-specific tools and practice materials to reinforce math skills and support independent problem-solving. Improving these skills supports students’ long-term academic goals.
