A Learner tutor teaches fundamental math topics, like how to divide fractions and what to do with quadratic functions, in a clear and interesting way.Your child’s tutor will adjust their instruction style and progression according to your child’s needs and learning speed.
We only hire 3% of the tutors who apply to be a Learner Tutor. First, we require the right level of experience - hundreds of hours of online tutoring and a passion for helping students just like your child. Then, they have a first interview where they describe success stories and how they have changed students' lives through their amazing tutoring. Then we provide them with some math problems and ask them to create a video solving the problem for us to review. Last, we have one final live interview where we ask them to teach us a problem in multiple ways, because no two student learn the same way!
You can schedule your first session in a few days! After you fill out one online questionnaire, you can complete a consultation with our Academic Advisor to find the right tutor. Once your child is matched with a tutor, you can schedule the first session at a convenient time.
Our Academic Advisor uses a proprietary matching system to select a tutor that best matches your child’s learning style and academic level. However, you get the final say, and if your child doesn’t click with their initial tutor in the first session or later on, you can switch to a new tutor for free.

There are many options for college math tutoring, both in-person and online. When it comes to choosing the right one, it’s essential to find a teacher who lets you work at your own pace while providing guidance on how to improve in the areas you’re struggling with.
With Learner, you don’t have to choose a tutor based solely on a picture and an online profile. Simply fill out our assessment quiz and chat with our Academic Coach. We’ll use this information to match you with a tutor who’s perfect for your level and learning style.
Although their names may be similar, college math courses are usually far more challenging than their high school counterparts. University math courses cover complex material at a much faster pace. If you aren’t completely comfortable with the basics of trigonometry, algebra, and precalculus, you can quickly fall behind in your college math classes.
If it feels like you’ll never catch up, we can help. Our private tutors are highly educated math experts who specialize in providing customized lessons. Each session gives you the chance to ask questions, work through practice problems, and master the fundamentals that you need for college mathematics success.
Many college math classes consist of lectures attended by hundreds of students. Even if you visit your school’s math center during office hours, you probably won’t receive one-on-one assistance from a professor. With Learner, you’ll get private instruction from highly experienced tutors who have advanced math degrees and considerable teaching expertise.
College life is busy, and trying to set up in-person tutoring is often impossible, especially in our post-pandemic world. Learner offers virtual tutoring through an innovative online platform that you can access from anywhere – all you need is a device and an internet connection. You can schedule sessions to fit your schedule and attend from wherever suits you best.
With Learner, you’ll get much more than just a rehash of your college mathematics textbook. Our instructors will develop tailored lesson plans just for you, so you’ll receive exactly the help you need. Whether that means additional explanations of confusing math concepts or extra practice solving problems, each lesson is designed to help you meet your goals.
Our tutors are experts in teaching the key college math subjects that undergraduate students are required to take, including those in technical education programs.
Chelsea from Learner helped me to get a full ride to Duke University.
“Chelsea from Learner was the perfect match for me. She customized the training so that it would push me hard - but not too hard where I would get frustrated. I worked with Chelsea for years because she took a genuine interest in me and my future.”
"Stephanie taught me how to be more organized. I was getting Bs and Cs before I started working with her. I used to get overwhelmed before studying for a test. Stephanie taught me how to create “study guides” so I’d have all the big ideas in one place. I am now getting As and Bs and my parents are much happier."
"When I first started working with Alan, I told him I would never be good at math. I barely passed my first two years of high school math and I needed one more hard math class to graduate. Alan believed in me and worked with me on the basics. Little by little, he built up my confidence to the point where I realized I am good at math and I did well in the class."

FIND A MATH TUTOR NEAR YOU
Boost your child’s grades with customized math tutoring sessions.
As the class of 2024 enters the job market, many graduates with degrees in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) are about to find out if their majors will deliver on the promise of stable job prospects and financial security.
For at least a decade, technical degrees in STEM fields have led graduates to higher-earning careers than those with degrees in the liberal arts or humanities. Since 2009, full-time workers with STEM undergraduate degrees have consistently earned around 30-40% more than their peers with liberal arts degrees, based on Census Bureau data.
However, it has taken time for students' courses of study to adapt to this trend. Between 2013 and 2022, bachelor's degrees awarded by American colleges increased from about 1.85 million annually to just over 2 million. During this period, the number of STEM bachelor's degrees rose by about 40%, while the number of bachelor's degrees in liberal arts and humanities awarded per year fell by 14% during the same time period.
Though this increase coincides with a period of increased demand for programmers, the rising cost of college further increased the appeal of degrees that pay off financially. Data from the Census Bureau shows that workers aged 25-64 who studied engineering, computer science, and economics had median earnings of around $100,000 in 2022, while those who studied English, liberal arts, and history had median earnings of around $65,000 to $75,000.
According to the College Board, the average net cost of going to a four-year college, excluding housing and food, has risen to roughly $11,000 annually at public schools and just shy of $42,000 at private schools. Federal Reserve data shows that households with student loans owed a median of $24,500 in 2022, up 13% from 2013. A typical student who took on federal loans owed an average of $37,000 in 2023, up from $26,000 in 2013.
Learner analyzed data from the National Center for Education Statistics to see which college majors were growing the fastest and how these increases relate to current and upcoming trends in the job market and tuition costs.

Shifts in college majors tend to mirror shifts in the job market. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of people working in health care support roles rose by over 70% between 2013 and 2022; those working in computer and mathematics rose by 35%. Both fields far outpaced overall employment growth, which was around 12% during the same period.
The number of degrees awarded in computer fields has doubled since 2013, making this the fastest-growing class of bachelor's degrees. Not only are all five of America's most valuable companies in the tech space, but workers running data analyses or building websites and apps are now standard in companies across sectors and disciplines.
Health care fields are the second-largest-growing group of college majors. In 2022, American colleges awarded 264,000 bachelor's degrees in this category, up from 180,000 in 2013.
Some of the growth aligns with an aging America, as baby boomers retire and the demand for health care workers increases. The spike in health care degrees also reflects a push by state governments and the health care industry to train and hire better-credentialed workers. Since 2010, the share of registered nurses holding bachelor's degrees has risen from 55% to 67%.

CALCULUS TUTORS IN YOUR AREA
When you give your child private calculus tutoring with Learner, you can be sure they are getting the best possible experience.
Projections by the BLS indicate that current labor market trends will continue through 2032, with health care support and health care practitioner jobs being the first- and third-fastest-growing occupational groups, growing by 15.4% and 8.0%, respectively. Occupations in computer science and mathematics are expected to be the second-fastest-growing group, with an anticipated rise of 15.2%.
The short-term outlook for computer science graduates seeking entry-level positions, however, is rather bleak. Many big tech companies have recently announced layoffs. The Wall Street Journal reports that the tech sector added just 700 jobs on net in 2023, down significantly from 267,000 jobs added in 2022. Citing the rise of artificial intelligence, firms are recalibrating as this new technology reshapes the job landscape.
Current AI systems are especially good at enhancing the productivity of computer programmers, giving firms a reason to believe they can get more out of their existing workers. Looking ahead, a survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers shows that firms expect to hire 5.8% fewer people this spring compared with the year earlier. But with change may also come new opportunities. Some 11% of all tech job listings in the past several months have been for AI and related skills, according to WSJ, suggesting that more widespread use may also necessitate specialized talent.
The rising cost of college has made education more of an investment than it was in years past. College students are taking note, and in the next decade, trends in degrees attained might look very different.
