How to Find the Right Online Math Tutor

• They’re certified teachers with teaching experience, pedagogy, and math teaching expertise.
• They’ve been thoroughly vetted and all of their tutoring sessions are reviewed by the Skooli team.
• Tutors who are currently online are available for on-demand math homework help.

When you're searching for an online math tutor, be specific. Do you need help with long division, fractions, or algebra? Whichever topic it is, specifying will help you to find math tutors who are qualified. Second, you need to identify what grade level of math tutoring you need.

By limiting your search around grade level, you will be more likely to find online math tutors who are knowledgeable enough to be able to guide you, but also who are not so advanced that they can’t simplify problems for you to understand. Finally, you should understand what type of tutoring you’re looking for. Are you searching for weekly math homework help, study help for an exam, or just one session to sharpen up your math skills? Whatever type of math help you’re looking for, determining what type of tutoring session you need will help you to find the right tutor for your educational needs.

How We Know Online Math Tutoring Works

Math is one of the most adaptive subjects to the online classroom. With a multitude of tools and ways to communicate, math tutoring online with Skooli has been proven to help students make incredible improvements in overall math performance as well as on specific tests and exams. We’ve seen students leap entire letter grades after working with a math tutor online for only a couple of months. We’ve even seen a student receive 100% for the first time ever after a matter of weeks with a Skooli online math tutor.

Among these tools that make online math tutoring so effective is the interactive whiteboard, which allows the math tutor and the student to write, draw, and collaborate on equations or problems. There’s also the chat function, which aside from being a place to hold text-based conversations, allows the math tutor and the student to send files. These files are often homework assignments, practice tests, returned tests, or even photos of textbook pages. Further, online math tutoring, when focused around the aspect of personalization, needs to allow a genuine one-on-one experience. The Skooli online classroom does just that. With its HD video communication, it replicates the in-person experience by providing genuine face-to-face conversation.

Why Use Skooli for Math Homework Help?

• You’ll get to learn one-on-one with a professional math teacher.
• The Skooli Online Classroom has the tools and features you need for a fun and engaging online math lesson.
• Your satisfaction is guaranteed! (See Skooli’s Satisfaction Guarantee for more info.)
• You’ll be able to rewatch your session(s) after.
• Skooli improves student engagement and performance.

Plus, The Princeton Review offers a free session to prospective students. Upon sign-up, there is the option of a subscription or more flexible one-time offers, which grants access to tutoring over the course of a few months.

Learn To Be is a nonprofit organization that was founded on the belief that all students deserve an equal opportunity to thrive.

The process starts with the student who needs math help filling out an application form detailing their needs. After about a week, a tutor will respond to arrange a time to meet virtually in an online classroom on the Learn To Be website. Learn To Be also lets other organizations that have tutors use the online classrooms. The tutoring lasts for as long as students need help with math.

Learn To Be welcomes donations, and as a volunteer-run organization, it guarantees that every dollar goes directly to tutoring. If students cannot afford the service, using Learn To Be is free.

The Revolution Prep methodology for teaching math is based on interactive learning and incorporates storytelling into live tutorials to make learning fun.

• Price : $19.99 for monthly subscription

• Money-back guarantee : No

Chegg understands that math problems do not keep regular hours, so it has designed an online math tutoring service to offer support day and night.

24/7 math problem support

Inexpensive rates

Does not provide ongoing tutoring

Whenever a student logs in to Chegg, they will have access to experts for assistance. They’re available 24/7 on Chegg’s online platform, making it easy to start learning or get some extra help ASAP. You can search through thousands of homework problems on their platform or upload a photo and ask an expert for help with a specific question.

For further real-time support, Chegg has an online equation solver. This function allows students to type in a math expression, get explanations for every step leading to the solution, and even break down each step further. The site also offers a graphing calculator.

Payment plans at Chegg start at about $20 for a monthly subscription to Chegg Study, which comes with access to select textbook solutions, video walkthroughs and practice sets, and Chegg experts. For extra assistance, Chegg also offers Math Solver, which gives users unlimited solutions and detailed explanations for tough problems, as well as access to a graphing calculator, for about $10 a month. Self-sufficient types who study at irregular hours or have other commitments during the day will benefit the most from signing up with Chegg.

There is a school of thought that says when opting for a math tutor, a long-term approach is more beneficial. Of course, at the end of the day, the choice of study method depends solely on the needs of the learner.

During instant sessions via Skooli, the tutors connect in a digital classroom, allowing the pupil to share files, draw, and communicate via talking or text. The tutoring sessions are available for the student to rewatch at any time.

Parents can be assured that all Skooli tutors have to pass a criminal background check before they join. The pricing structure is very straightforward, with Skooli charging around $1 a minute for tutoring time for a minimum of 15 minutes per lesson. For students who only need occasional help and parents who want a simple pricing structure, Skooli is an easy choice.

Best for Resources : Tutor Doctor

• Price : Varies, typically between $40 and $80 per session
• Grades and levels taught : K-12 plus adult learners
• Money-back guarantee : 60-Day money back guarantee

Tutor Doctor treats each student like the individual they are and hones in on their learning style to develop a program that best suits their needs.

Free consultation before choosing a plan

Offer in-home option, as well as virtual

Pricing is not transparent

The team at Tutor Doctor does not believe that natural ability is required to succeed at math. Instead, the company bases its model on repeated practice and a positive attitude. After matching the student with a suitable tutor, the instructor then develops a plan that includes a lot of self-learning in order to consolidate the content covered in tutoring.

The program aims to instill academic discipline through self-study using resources provided by Tutor Doctor, including a recording of each lesson, as well as new material for the student to work through alone. Support is also offered to parents through infographics that teach them how to be an effective part of the learning journey.

Tutor Doctor offers a free consultation to assess the needs of each student. Costs for tutoring vary between roughly $40 and $80 per session, depending on the special requirements.

Best for Special Needs : Special Ed Tutoring

• Price : Starting at $25 per session

Special Ed Tutoring caters to learners with special needs, providing them with individual tutoring for homework help, enhanced learning, or assisting with homeschooling.

Child is matched to a tutor following consultation call

Tutors are trained to teach students with special needs

Pricing is only determined after consultation call

In the same way that students with special needs should get proper support at school, there is also assistance for them when it comes to online math tutoring.

The virtual environment is designed with an emphasis on motivational fun and accessible learning, and the lesson plan is customized to fit the needs of the student. Parents are kept in the loop the entire time, and the tutor also offers support in dealing with the child’s school, if needed.

Prospective parents can get a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss the needs of the student before signing up. Session rates start at about $25, but depending on your child's specific circumstance, the exact cost will be determined during the consultation call.

If an online tutoring site dedicated to helping kids with special needs is relevant for you, then Special Ed Tutoring should be top of mind.

Selecting a specific math tutoring service will come down to the priorities of the family and what kind of learner the student is. The Princeton Review is our best overall pick as it has a vast number of available tutors and even offers a guarantee that students' grades will improve. Skooli and Chegg offer great value when it comes to cost, without skimping on the quality of lessons. But parents looking at a certain level of customization with tutoring plans should consider Tutor Doctor . For children with special needs, Special Ed Tutoring is a great way to make students feel comfortable and get the support they need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should use online math tutoring services.

Online math tutoring is for anyone who would like to polish their math skills. Students wanting to improve their grades make up a large percentage of online math pupils. Others are there to get help for specific issues, such as challenging assignments, problems they're stumped on, or preparing for important tests. Students with special needs can supplement learning with online math tutoring to ensure they have a good grasp of the concepts and are keeping up with the syllabus.

Are Math Tutoring Services Available for Younger Kids?

Yes, math tutoring services are available for students of all ages, from elementary school through high school and even college. Younger students can benefit from specialized math tutoring to help understand mathematical concepts and receive one-on-one teaching.

How Do I Find a Good Tutor Online?

Finding the right tutor for your child can take a bit of research and requires asking the right questions. If you use a service or tutoring database to find a tutor, make sure you know what you're looking for and ask potential hires about their experience and skills.

Know what concepts your child needs help with, whether they need assistance with individual math problems or test prep, understand your student's learning style, and know the level of investment you're able to make, both in money and time. Keep all of these factors in mind when looking for a tutor, and remember that it may take a bit of time to find the perfect tutor and see results.

Are Math Tutors Worth It?

If your child requires additional homework help or assistance in learning larger math concepts, it may be worth it to hire a dedicated math tutor. Whether online or in person, a math tutor provides one-on-one instruction, can help explain difficult math principles, and can tailor lessons to exactly the instruction a child needs.

The best online tutoring services for math are those that match the needs of the student and have very responsive support. Across the board, all the sites we picked have solid feedback about the company's ability to provide excellent customer service, positive reviews, and an accredited roster of tutors available for teaching. We looked at sites that are cost-effective and offer tutoring sessions at an affordable price.

Homework help & tutoring.

Our name 24HourAnswers means you can submit work 24 hours a day - it doesn't mean we can help you master what you need to know in 24 hours. If you make arrangements in advance, and if you are a very fast learner, then yes, we may be able to help you achieve your goals in 24 hours. Remember, high quality, customized help that's tailored around the needs of each individual student takes time to achieve. You deserve nothing less than the best, so give us the time we need to give you the best.

If you need assistance with old exams in order to prepare for an upcoming test, we can definitely help. We can't work with you on current exams, quizzes, or tests unless you tell us in writing that you have permission to do so. This is not usually the case, however.

We do not have monthly fees or minimum payments, and there are no hidden costs. Instead, the price is unique for every work order you submit. For tutoring and homework help, the price depends on many factors that include the length of the session, level of work difficulty, level of expertise of the tutor, and amount of time available before the deadline. You will be given a price up front and there is no obligation for you to pay. Homework library items have individual set prices.

We accept credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, Venmo, ApplePay, and GooglePay.

17 Best Online Math Tutoring Services — Reviewed & Ranked by an Ivy-League Educator

Math is a core skill that is essential for success in high school and college , as well as many graduate programs and future careers. A recent Georgetown study found that strong math skills are essential to success in a whopping 70% of jobs in the US. 

Math knowledge builds on itself . Once students fall just a little bit behind, they quickly find that they’re not equipped for their new assignments. Students become frustrated and start to feel that they’re “just not good at math.”

Parents might want to help their students, but that’s time-consuming and has its own frustrations — not to mention, many parents might find their algebra skills a little rusty!

That’s where math tutoring can save the day. 

Fortunately, the rise of online learning has increased the number of tutoring services available, regardless of your geographic location.

We’ve used our decades of experience in education to evaluate 50 different options for math tutoring and ranked the top 17 services in 2024.

Best Online Math Tutoring in 2024

#1 – prepmaven.

Our Verdict — Best Online Math Tutoring Overall Price: $66–349/hour PrepMaven offers high-quality one-on-one tutoring at an incredibly reasonable price, given the impressive qualifications of its instructors. Nearly all of PrepMaven’s tutors are Ivy-League grads (with a few tutors from other top-30 universities), and many have prestigious degrees in math and related STEM fields. Tutors are also carefully vetted and evaluated on their ability to communicate and connect with students. PrepMaven’s individualized touch means that students are paired with tutors who match their personality traits and often share interests, allowing for a stronger level of connection that studies have shown leads to better learning outcomes. PrepMaven’s experienced tutors can customize learning sessions to meet the needs of each individual student. Depending on the student’s goals, tutors can help students work through homework assignments, review material from class, or provide additional enrichment and challenge material. PrepMaven’s attentive tutors can find any gaps in a student’s knowledge and fill in those gaps to lay strong math foundations. PrepMaven’s elite tutors are also top-1% scorers on key college admissions tests like the SAT and ACT and can help students prepare for the math portions of those exams. Students aiming at a private high school can also prepare for the SSAT or ISEE with their tutor. PrepMaven’s math tutors have a higher level of math knowledge than other tutors at most competitors, and can easily help students with advanced math like AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Physics, and other challenging classes. Founded by brothers and Princeton grads Greg and Kevin, PrepMaven focuses on delivering consistently high-quality tutoring to students. All tutors undergo a thorough training program and can use proprietary teaching materials to help students reach their goals. To make high-quality tutoring accessible to more families, PrepMaven offers tutoring at several different price points. At the most affordable rate, students can work with current Ivy-League undergraduates who specialize in math. At higher rates, students can work with experienced coaches who hold advanced graduate degrees.

Sign up for PrepMaven’s Ivy-League tutoring now

PrepMaven’s one-on-one tutoring is the best option for any student wanting high-quality math tutoring.

At a glance:

• Cost: $66–349/hour, depending on tutor qualifications; minimum $450 package
• Math tutor qualifications: Ivy-League tutors, all experienced and highly trained, some with master’s or doctoral degrees

What we like:

• Ivy League experience — most of their math tutors are Princeton grads or current students, with some from Harvard and other Ivies
• Different pricing options to meet different families’ circumstances
• Smaller, boutique company offers more individualized approach customized for each student
• Able to cover advanced math subjects just as easily as basic math, since tutors have Ivy-League math skills

What we don’t like:

• Because they take the time to pair each student with the tutor that will be the best fit, sessions are not instantaneous and usually it takes 1–3 days to schedule with an Ivy-League tutor

Sign up for PrepMaven’s one-on-one math tutoring now

#2 – Pearson

Our Verdict — Best Big Tutoring Company Price: $38–42/hour Pearson’s name might sound familiar — they’re a massive publishing conglomerate. You may also have heard of them from the controversy that ensued when the standardized tests that they were commissioned to create for the state of New York were found to contain over 30 errors and invalidated (whoops!). Pearson has brought their enormous resources to produce Smarthinking, an online tutoring platform. Tutoring is convenient and can be on-demand (with whichever tutor is currently available) or scheduled in advance, and is offered at reasonable prices. Our inside sources have mentioned that the Smarthinking platform itself is over two decades old and can be buggy, so we hope that Pearson updates their platform soon. Pearson’s tutors have a stronger educational background than many of the other competitors, with 90% of their tutors holding a master’s degree or doctoral degree. However, Pearson pays its tutors below-market wages ($11–13/hr), so it’s difficult for them to retain good teaching talent. It’s not possible to view any specific information about their tutors. There is no requirement for tutors to have graduated from top schools.

• Pearon’s Smarthinking is a good option for families who specifically want to work with a very large company.
• Cost: $42 for one hour, $150 for 4 hours ($37.50/hr)
• Math tutor qualifications: college graduates, 90% of whom also hold master’s degrees or doctoral degrees — but not necessarily not from top-tier universities
• Higher educational experience — most of their math tutors hold advanced degrees
• Instant tutoring — on-demand tutoring is available 24/7, and just enter your credit card information to start immediately
• Reasonable pricing
• Tutors aren’t necessarily from top schools , and it’s not possible to see any information about their tutors
• Online tutoring platform is two decades old and has technological problems
• Low pay means they struggle to retain good teaching talent

Why are math skills key for future success? Jump below .

#3 – Skooli

Our Verdict — Best Super-Quick Math Tutoring Price: $39–49/hour Skooli is a newer online tutoring platform and the only one we’ve found that offers tutoring charged by the minute. Families can purchase packs for 8, 16, or 32 hours, or purchase individual hours. Students can then use these hours in as little as 15-minute increments. This might be handy for students who want to ask a tutor quick questions, and who don’t care about developing a relationship with a consistent tutor. Tutors for Skooli have college degrees, but haven’t necessarily graduated from a top-tier school. It’s not possible to see more details about individual tutors until after giving credit card details. Their online interface is slick and modern, although according to our inside sources it crashes frequently.

• Students who want to work with a tutor to answer quick questions about math (sessions as short as 15 minutes).
• Cost: $1248 for 32 hours ($39/hr), $672 for 16 hours ($42/hr), $352 per 8 hours ($44/hr), or $49/hour for individual hours, billed by the minute ($0.82/minute, minimum 15 minutes)
• Math tutor qualifications: college graduates
• Tutoring available in very short increments , with a minimum session length of just 15 minutes
• Students can’t work with the same tutor consistently , which is less effective for math learning
• Online tutoring platform has some technological problems and crashes frequently

#4 – Wyzant

Our Verdict — Alternative for Families on a Budget Price: $20–600/hour There are plenty of large platforms with large stables of part-time tutors and coaches available to work with students. Wyzant is one of the largest such platforms, with more than 65,000 tutors providing services through their website — including 7,900 online math tutors. Students and families can pick individual tutors to work with from their roster and arrange tutoring services directly. One benefit of this model is that tutors can set their own rates, which vary hugely. Families on a budget can find online writing tutors as low as $20 per hour. However, these tutors might not have any teaching experience or training, and they may not have graduated from a top school or have a math-related degree. Some tutors on Wyzant with more qualifications may have much higher rates — as high as $600 per hour!

• Families on a budget who are willing to work with a freelance tutor directly.
• Cost: $20–600/hour
• Math tutor qualifications: varies
• Marketplace platform means that some tutors list low rates for tutoring, which can make tutoring more affordable
• Families can choose their own tutor directly out of over 7,900 math tutors listed
• No training for tutors — which leads to uneven quality of instruction
• Families are hiring individual tutors, which means tutor qualifications vary enormously , and there are no guarantees
• Choosing the right tutor out of 7,900+ is one more task for busy families

Math skills are essential for 70% of today’s jobs. Read more about why math is important below .

#5 – Khan Academy

Our Verdict — Best Free Math Resource Price: free Technically speaking, Khan Academy does not belong on this list because they do not provide live tutoring with an instructor . However, it’s such a great resource for math education that we had to include it here. Khan Academy is an educational non-profit founded in 2008 with the mission to “provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere.” They’re perhaps best known for their free SAT prep created in partnership with the College Board. However, since their original focus was on math education (inspired by the founder’s experience tutoring his young cousins in math), their math materials have always been particularly strong. Khan Academy’s math education material spans preschool through multivariable calculus and differential equations. For each mathematical concept, they have short videos, practice problems, and quizzes. While many students will benefit from a more customized learning plan guided by an experienced math tutor, Khan Academy’s resources are a fantastic tool for honing math skills.

• Any student who wants to practice specific math skills.
• Math tutor qualifications: N/A
• Free math resources available to anyone in the world
• Platform and videos are high quality , with clean graphics and a mix of videos and practice
• No live instructor , just pre-recorded videos and exercises
• One-size-fits-all practice doesn’t match the specific needs of each student
• Hundreds of math concepts can be overwhelming , and there’s no way to ask questions or receive a customized learning plan

#6 – Learn to Be

Our Verdict — Best Free Math Tutoring (for qualifying families) Price: free (or voluntary contribution of $9–30 per month) Learn to Be is a fantastic non-profit organization improving education for underserved youth in the US. Students work with the same tutor consistently, which allows them to build a strong relationship and allows for mentoring as well as learning. Students working with Learn to Be have seen an average increase in test scores of 15.8% and an average GPA increase of 1.6 — nearly two full letter grades (for example from a C to an A-)! Tutors are volunteers who are passionate about educational equity, and range from current high school and college students to professionals or retirees. The program works primarily with foster youth, homeless youth, and other lower-income families. Possible qualifications for free tutoring with Learn to Be include: student attends a Title 1 school, receives free or reduced lunch at school, comes from a single-parent home, is a foster child, is homeless, or qualifies for food stamps. It’s possible to work with a Spanish-speaking tutor through Learn to Be.

• Students who qualify for free tutoring (foster youth or low-income families).
• Non-profit helping underserved youth
• Completely free tutoring for qualifying families
• Students work with the same tutor consistently, which builds trust and leads to a better individualized educational experience
• Tutor qualifications vary — some tutors are high school students as young as 14 years old, and all tutors are volunteers
• Only for qualifying youth in the US (low income or foster youth)

#7 – Schoolhouse

Our Verdict — Best Free Peer Math Tutoring Price: free While Learn to Be provides free or low-cost tutoring to only qualifying families, Schoolhouse is free and available to any student age 13+. Created by Sal Khan, who is also the founder of well-known educational non-profit Khan Academy , Schoolhouse is an innovative platform for peer tutoring. Students who are strong in math can take a short test to check their knowledge. Qualified students can then volunteer to host small-group tutoring sessions online to help their peers who might be struggling. Schoolhouse’s peer tutoring is designed to reinforce and practice what students are learning in school. There’s no adult or experienced instructor leading the tutoring sessions, and all sessions are in groups open to any student worldwide to join, so we wouldn’t recommend it for students who need targeted help learning specific math concepts. However, it can be a fun way for students to practice math alongside their peers.

• Students age 13+ who want to practice math problems in a group with their peers.
• Math tutor qualifications: current students age 13+ — students take a quiz to prove their knowledge but no other required qualifications
• Completely free and open to any student worldwide age 13+

Best of the Rest for Online Math Tutoring

#8 – princeton review / tutor.com.

Our Verdict — Disappointing Quality from Test-Prep Giant Price: $60–75/hour for scheduled tutoring, minimum package $450; lower-quality instant tutoring at $26–35/hour, minimum package $350; monthly subscription instant tutoring at $36–40/hour Back in 2014, Tutor.com acquired the well-known test-prep company The Princeton Review. In 2022, a Chinese private-equity firm Primavera Capital Group, purchased Tutor.com and The Princeton Review. (Note that the Princeton Review has no connection to Princeton University.) They now offer subject-area tutoring in over 80 different academic areas, including math. The range of tutoring options is a little confusing, but it basically breaks down to three different models: families can choose between (1) packages of 6–60 scheduled tutoring hours with more highly-qualified tutors through “The Academy”, (2) one-off tutoring packages of 10–50 “instant tutoring” hours that can be used over a six-month period, or (3) a monthly subscription for 1–5 instant tutoring hours each month. Tutors are available 24/7 for instant sessions. For students enrolled in The Academy’s scheduled tutoring sessions with packages of 24 hours ($1620) or 60 hours ($3600), they advertise a “guaranteed A.” This promise turns out to be a little deceptive, as the guaranteed “A” only applies to students who already have at least a B; for students who start with a B- or lower the guarantee is for one full letter grade. For students who work with a tutor through their Homework Help packages at least 2 hours each month for 3 months in one subject, they guarantee a grade increase of at least a half-step letter grade. (This guarantee doesn’t apply for students who already have an A- or A.) Of course, there’s a lot of additional rules in the fine print for these guarantees! Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the quality of this offering from The Princeton Review. In contrast to their operations for standardized test prep (like SAT and ACT prep ), their platform for subject-area tutoring does not provide instructors with training, so there’s very little consistency. Tutors are also capped at 2 or 3 sessions per day, so they’re by design part-time instructors who are teaching a little on the side. While The Princeton Review / Tutor.com claims to count Ivy grads and experts with advanced degrees among their tutors, we found this to be misleading. Most of their tutors have only a BA, and most have graduated from local schools that are not even in the top 200 universities. Pay for tutors is minimum wage, so it’s difficult for them to attract good teaching talent. Surprisingly for The Princeton Review, their subject-area tutoring is a tutoring marketplace platform (similar to Wyzant ). Families select individual tutors to work with based on their bios and arrange the tutoring sessions individually. For us, this obviates the point of working with a large company like Princeton Review, where in theory the advantage is quality control and a standard curriculum, even if it comes with a more corporate feel. With this marketplace model, tutor quality and qualifications vary considerably, especially given that tutors do not receive any training or teaching materials. Our inside sources tell us that their online teaching platform is outdated and has many technological bugs that make it crash frequently, and at least one year ago it only worked on PCs, not Macs!

• Cost: The Academy tutoring packages: $450 for 6 hours ($60/hr), $1620 for 24 hours ($67.50/hr), or $3600 for 60 hours ($60/hr); Homework Help packages that can be used over a period of 6 months: $350 for 10 hours ($35/hr), $950 for 30 hours ($32/hr), or $1450 for 50 hours ($26/hr); Homework Help tutoring subscriptions: $40 for 1 hour each month, $115 for 3 hours each month ($38/hr), or $180 for 5 hours each month ($36/hr)
• Reasonable pricing for tutoring and a range of payment models
• Tutors are available 24/7 for instant Homework Help packages
• Tutor qualifications vary — most are from local or state schools, not competitive colleges
• Online platform is buggy and crashes frequently
• Challenging for them to attract good teaching talent as pay is minimum wage
• Low quality of teaching , surprising for a big-name player in test prep

#9 – ArborBridge

Our Verdict: Pricey Service with Mystery Tutors Price: $160+/hour, minimum package $2400 for 15 hours Featuring crisp, minimalist visuals and a younger team, ArborBridge calls itself “the next generation of test prep.” They’ve always been remote and online, so they haven’t suffered the growing pains with the shift to online learning that many competitors with outdated platforms (like Pearson and Princeton Review ) have experienced. That said, their tutoring is quite expensive! Their rate is always at least $160 per hour, and the minimum package is a hefty $2400 for 15 hours of tutoring. They also advertise a “concierge” tutoring service with a more customized experience — price upon request. Is it worth the price? We’re not so sure. ArborBridge claims to have hired the “best” tutors but they do not list any specific qualifications for their tutors or provide any bios for their tutor roster. On their (slightly-defunct) Instagram page they have provided some fun facts about a few of their tutors, but they don’t list any educational background, years of experience, or relevant professional credentials, just favorite foods and television shows. There’s no indication that their tutors have graduated from top colleges, have teaching experience, or any other relevant qualifications — unlike services like PrepMaven or Tutoring Service of New York that only hire Ivy-League tutors. In fact, our sources have mentioned that their tutors don’t receive much training prior to teaching. They also, unlike the Princeton Review, don’t offer any guarantees for raising grades or scores. In the end, we’re not sure why ArborBridge has such high prices without offering particularly high-quality tutoring in return. Their website looks nice, though!

• Cost: $160/hour, minimum package is $2400 for 15 hours (+ 1 bonus hour); $4800 for 30 hours (+ 3 bonus hours); $7200 for 45 hours (+ 6 bonus hours) — or “concierge tutoring” with “highest level of hands-on care,” price upon request
• Math tutor qualifications: unknown
• Known for good customer service
• Younger, more modern tutoring service that’s built with technology from the get-go
• Expensive , with a minimum cost of $2400 for 15 hours of tutoring
• No information about tutor qualifications provided
• No guarantees for grade or score raises
• Seems more design than substance

#10 – Learner

Our Verdict — Tutoring that Includes ESL Learners Price: $55–80/hour, minimum $400 package Learner is another newer online tutoring platform. Unlike many of the other services on this list, Learner also provides tutoring services to adults, especially for non-native English speakers. While they advertise that their tutors have degrees from “top universities,” it seems that the only necessary qualification for tutors at Learner is a college degree (not just from top schools). We found their sign-up sequence to be frustrating. New clients start by answering a series of questions about their students. While it repeatedly seems like they’ll show a selection of tutors that may be a match, this is a bait-and-switch tactic, and they never display any actual tutor profiles. Instead, new clients must first make a payment before they can view any tutor details. Learner has a “satisfaction guarantee,” which simply means that they’ll allow families to request a switch to another tutor if it’s not a good fit. Their rates are on the pricier side for “average” tutors who do not have teaching experience or degrees from elite universities.

• Cost: $400 for 5 hours ($80/hour), $700 for 10 hours ($70/hour), $1200 for 20 hours ($60/hour), or $1650 for 30 hours ($55/hour)
• Explicitly offers tutoring for ESL learners
• No specific tutor qualifications beyond a college degree
• Prices are high given quality of service

#11 – Revolution Prep

Our Verdict — Individual and Small-Group Tutoring Online Price: $116/hour, minimum $1398 for 12 hours Revolution Prep is a larger platform providing online tutoring with a focus on interactive learning. Revolution Prep is one of the only services that we researched that offers small-group tutoring in addition to one-on-one tutoring. This allows them to provide tutoring with up to three students at a time for a lower price of $40/hour (minimum purchase of $199 for 5 hours). This rate might be more budget-friendly for families than their individual tutoring, which has a hefty minimum purchase of $1398 for 12 hours. Their individual tutoring rate of $116/hour is quite high, especially given the backgrounds of their instructors. While we like that all of their tutors are full-time staff, versus tutoring part-time alongside another career, their tutors do not have any other specific qualifications. These rates are comparable or higher than other services that provide more customized learning with Ivy-League tutors, like PrepMaven or select tutors on Wyzant .

• Cost:  individual tutoring $116/hour, minimum $1398 for 12 hours; small-group tutoring $40/hour, minimum $199 for 5 hours; group classes $499 for 12 hours
• Math tutor qualifications: none specified
• All tutors are full-time staff
• Small-group tutoring provides lower prices
• No specific qualifications for math tutors
• Tutoring rates are high for the type of service

#12 – Mathnasium

Our Verdict — Tutoring Franchise to Help with Math Homework Price: varies (franchise), typically $200–425/month Math is one of the most important core subjects, and so it’s not surprising that there are learning programs devoted specifically to math. Mathnasium is a franchise with locations throughout the US and even internationally. As their name might suggest, they’re focused on fostering math skills only. Pricing varies by franchise location and by grade level, but most Mathnasium centers offer a flat monthly fee that allows students to attend math tutoring sessions regularly (whether online or in person), usually two or three times per week. While other programs might focus on drills and exercises, Mathnasium typically focuses on helping students with their math homework and other math assignments. Mathnasium does not assign homework or create customized curricula for students. One significant downside of Mathnasium’s approach is that students do not necessarily get to work with the same tutor each time. This disrupts continuity and makes it harder for students to learn, since a good tutor will track students’ progress over time and create assignments that target the needs of each individual student. There are also no specific qualifications for math tutors, so there’s no guarantee that the tutors are great teachers or have a high level of expertise in math. Since each of the Mathnasium centers is locally owned and operated, the customer service experience can vary significantly.

• Cost: varies (franchise), typically $200–425/month (costs are higher for high school levels)
• Focus on math , and can help students understand their math homework and other school assignments
• Tutoring isn’t necessarily one-on-one
• Not the same tutor every time , which is not ideal for learning
• Covers only math , while some other tutoring services can provide tutoring for other subjects as well
• Tutors do not have any specific qualifications

#13 – Kumon

Our Verdict — Tutoring Franchise Drilling Math and Reading Basics Price: varies (franchise), typically $100–200/month Kumon is an international tutoring franchise that focuses on reaching math and reading through rote memorization. Founded by Toru Kumon in Japan in 1958, Kumon centers all follow the same learning approach based on worksheets that very gradually increase in difficulty. Students enrolled in Kumon’s program begin with a diagnostic assessment. They are then usually placed in a level lower than where they scored , so that they can reinforce existing skills with additional practice. However, this also means that students have to spend time on material that they have already learned. Students at Kumon are not able to bring in math homework or material from their current math class for additional help. Instead, all Kumon sessions focus on the rigid Kumon material. The goal of the Kumon Method  is “to teach students to learn independently,” and so instructors observe students as they complete worksheets and provide guidance. Students are also assigned homework from Kumon, in order to continue practicing at home. Students typically receive about 30 minutes of homework per day. Since each of the Kumon centers is locally owned and operated, the customer service experience can vary significantly. Pricing also varies by location, but runs typically about $100–200 per month. Students are encouraged to attend Kumon sessions twice per week.

• Cost: varies (franchise), typically $100–200/month (costs are higher for high school levels)
• Math tutor qualifications: high school graduates
• Repetition of core skills can lead to a thorough understanding of the basics
• Rigid curriculum is not personalized for the learning styles and speeds of each student
• Rote repetition and endless worksheets may be boring or frustrating for students
• Students can’t bring in outside homework for help with their current math class
• Assigns a lot of extra work for students (typically 30 minutes of homework daily)

#14 – Varsity Tutors

Our Verdict — Uneven Quality Without Budget Pricing Price: $60–95/hour Varsity Tutors is an enormous tutoring platform offering online instruction in all academic subjects and test prep, including writing. These days their marketing has been ubiquitous! However, Varsity Tutors’ size has many downsides — most notably, very uneven quality of teaching. Tutors at Varsity need only a high school degree, and there is no requirement for tutors to have a college degree or teaching experience, let alone a top-tier educational background or professional writing credentials. Tutors can join the Varsity team very quickly and are paid lower rates than nearly any other tutoring company (just $12–15 for sessions that cost families up to $95), so it’s difficult for Varsity to attract and retain good talent. Lucky families might get assigned a good tutor, but that’s not at all assured. Varsity Tutors also does not provide any tutor materials, curriculum, or training, so it’s up to individual tutors to create everything from scratch, contributing further to the unevenness of quality. With rates higher than the competition with similar types of tutors (no specific qualifications beyond a college degree), Varsity is significantly overpriced. We’d recommend that families either consider a more budget-friendly option that would offer the same quality as Varsity in the $30–40/hour price range, or else consider a service like PrepMaven (starting at $66/hour) or Tutoring Service of New York (starting at $112/hour) that pairs students with highly-qualified tutors with advanced degrees and Ivy-League backgrounds.

• Cost: $ 60–95/hour
• Large number of tutors , so certain to find a tutor to fit your schedule
• No education or training requirements for tutors , along with low pay rates for instructors, means tutors are less-qualified than alternative math tutoring services
• Uneven teaching quality due to lack of resources for instruction
• Overpriced given the lack of required qualifications for tutors

#15 – Tutoring Service of New York

Our Verdict — New Service with Higher Minimum Package Price: $112–160/hour ($1200 5-session minimum) Founded by a former tutor with the now-defunct Ivy Global tutoring service, the new Tutoring Service of New York offers subject-area tutoring online, including math. Most of their tutors are current graduate students, many at Columbia University and NYU. The higher prices of the Tutoring Service of New York reflect the more elite educational background of the tutors. However, their minimum of $1200 for at least 5 sessions is high, especially since many other services have smaller minimum packages (compare $510 minimum at PrepMaven or $450 minimum at The Princeton Review ), or else allow families to purchase one-off tutoring sessions ( Pearson , Skooli , and others).

• Cost: $1200 for five 90-minute sessions; $2000 for 10 sessions; $2700 for 16 sessions
• Math tutor qualifications:  college graduates, mostly current graduate students at Columbia or NYU
• Qualified tutors with mostly Ivy-League backgrounds
• New service , so client reviews are still limited
• Higher minimum tutoring packages

#16 – Preply

Our Verdict — Lower-Cost Tutoring Marketplace Platform Price: $10–40/hour Preply is a lower-cost marketplace platform. It’s significantly smaller than Wyzant , and currently there are only 950 math tutors listed on the platform (compared with over 7,900 math tutors listed on Wyzant). Among those writing tutors listed, most don’t have high educational backgrounds. Preply is a more international platform, and some of the tutors are from other countries or located outside the US. One benefit of Preply’s platform is that rates are very low, ranging from $10/hour to $40/hour. These rates are actually comparable or higher than the pay rates for most of the larger platforms on our list (like Pearson , The Princeton Review , Varsity Tutors , and TutaPoint ), so don’t necessarily take these numbers on their own as indications of lower quality — just that tutors are earning a larger share. That said, the math tutoring available through Preply does appear to be lower-quality than other options.

• Cost: $10–40/hour, depending on rates set by individual tutors
• Math tutor qualifications:  varies
• F amilies can choose individual tutors on their marketplace platform
• No specific qualifications for tutors and no quality control
• Task of choosing the right math tutor can be stressful

#17 – Chegg

Our Verdict — Message Board Help with Math Questions Price: $20 per month Chegg is one of the biggest tutoring platforms, so families may be familiar with their name already. We should note that they’ve pivoted several times in the past few years, so their service may have changed from what families have read. Whereas previously (first as InstaEDU, then as Chegg Tutors) Chegg offered live tutoring instruction online, Chegg no longer offers one-on-one tutoring . Instead, they now offer two subscription levels that allow students to view instructional videos, access answer keys for common textbooks, and receive asynchronous written feedback to homework questions. These questions are primarily answered by “subject matter experts” located in India. With their Chegg Study Pack subscription, students can post up to 20 math questions per month and receive a written step-by-step solution to the problem within 24 hours. This is not the same as active math tutoring with live discussion and exercises directly with a tutor. The written math help provided by Chegg’s essay review service is very limited. Moreover, the math problem answers are written by different tutors every time, so there’s no opportunity to grow through working with one tutor consistently. Honestly, this service is little better than posting a math question to a helpful community forum, and it’s hard to see how it’s worth the monthly subscription fee.

• Cost: $15 per month for Chegg Study subscription, which provides homework resources only; $20 per month for Chegg Study Pack subscription which provides essay reviews (up to 15 short papers per month, up to 3000 words each) and math question help in addition to the homework resources
• Students can get help with specific math questions within a 24-hour turnaround time
• Limited to 20 math questions per month
• Asynchronous, written feedback is not an effective way to learn
• No education or training requirements for tutors , and no information about who the math question reviewers are

Why is math a foundational skill?

Math is one of the cornerstones of any STEM subject , and students who want to pursue a career in engineering, medicine, finance, computer science, or any other STEM field will need to demonstrate strong abilities in math on their college applications.

Even in fields that aren’t directly related to finance, science, tech, or engineering, math skills are increasingly important in any workplace . A recent study by the Georgetown Public Policy Institute found that strong math skills are essential to success in 70% of jobs in the US. 

Our world is increasingly driven by data , and the ability to understand and analyze information is a valuable skill. For example, marketing and advertising professionals routinely use math and data analytics to increase conversion rates and improve sales. Business analysts use math to create graphs and explore new avenues of growth. 

Math skills are also key to many aspects of daily life. We all use math every day to calculate a discount, adjust a recipe, manage our finances, or plan a trip.

For students, math is a cornerstone of many other subjects that they may take. Classes in physics, chemistry, computer science, economics, statistics, political science, and architecture will all depend on a strong math foundation.

For this reason, it’s important to keep math skills strong throughout a student’s educational career. If students start to struggle in a math class, these problems will only compound, because more than almost any other subject math knowledge builds on itself.

Each math class depends on knowledge learned in previous years . Students who don’t learn how to do arithmetic with fractions will struggle whenever fractions reappear in other contexts. Students who fail to master the basics of algebra will struggle throughout the rest of high school math. Other subjects, like chemistry or physics, will also depend on a good mathematical foundation.

Math tutoring can step in and stop a downward spiral. A good tutor will give students confidence in their math skills and stop them from thinking that they’re “just not good at math.”

Families have been increasingly recognizing the immense benefit of private math tutoring . Learning strong math skills early on will have a positive ripple effect throughout the student’s academic and professional career, and a little bit of tutoring can go a long way !

Math Skills for College Admissions Tests (PSAT, SAT, and ACT)

Many students are focused on college admissions, which can have a significant impact on their opportunities in life.

The SAT and ACT remain an important part of college applications in the US. Even with some schools creating temporary test-optional admissions policies during the Covid-19 pandemic, high test scores remain the norm at top schools throughout the US, and a good SAT or ACT score will always improve a student’s chances of admission.

Math skills are a huge part of both the SAT and the ACT. On the SAT, Math forms one-half of the test. Students will need to demonstrate mastery of the concepts covered in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II; this includes linear equations, polynomial equations, angles and circle arcs, trigonometry, exponential functions, imaginary numbers. 

SAT section scores range from 200 to 800. To give an idea of what kind of SAT scores students might need, the average SAT Math score at the Ivy League is between 740 and 800 , and the average SAT Math score at the top 50 public universities is between 660 and 760 .

Meanwhile, the math material on the ACT is even harder. In addition to the math concepts covered by the SAT, the ACT includes trigonometric functions, logarithmic functions, matrices, and more challenging geometry material. 

ACT scores range from 2 to 36, and the average ACT Math score at the Ivy League is between 31 and 35 . While math questions form only one quarter of the total ACT score, related skills in data analysis and interpreting charts are central to the ACT Science section as well.

While a great SAT or ACT score alone won’t get you into the Ivy League or another top-tier university, it’s very hard to get into a top-tier school without a strong math score on the SAT or ACT .

Furthermore, high test scores can win students big scholarships through programs like the National Merit competition .

With scholarships worth $300,000 on the line, there’s a lot of incentive for students to strengthen their math skills!

Why work with a math tutor?

You may want to consider a working with a math tutor if:

• You want to improve your grades in your math classes at school
• You want to improve your performance on AP tests
• You’re tired of conflict between students and parents about math homework
• You’re aiming at a competitive college (not just the Ivy League!) and know that you need high test scores
• You want to learn math skills now so you can succeed in your later career
• You know that if you develop strong math skills now, you’ll do better on every STEM-related class, assignment, and exam for the rest of your life!

Any of these are good reasons to consider working with a math tutor.

Remember, math is an essential skill for most degrees and most careers — especially in STEM! 

Building strong math skills early on will make each subsequent education and career step easier and more successful.

What makes a good math tutor?

A good math tutor should be an amazing teacher with experience, a strong educational background, and the ability to plan customized exercises that target an individual student’s weak spots .

Look for experienced tutors with strong educational backgrounds (i.e. who attended top universities) who have taught math previously .

Studies have shown that students will learn better when they can establish a relationship with their tutor . Look for a tutoring service where students can continue with the same tutor and build a sense of rapport. A good math tutor can help students to succeed on any math assignments they may have for school . They can teach students how to work through math homework and study for important math tests.

Sign up for PrepMaven’s one-on-one math tutoring

Best overall: The one-on-one math tutoring from PrepMaven is the best out there both in terms of tutor quality and price. While PrepMaven’s tutors can certainly help with school assignments, they can also create targeted math practice to fill any gaps in a student’s current math knowledge. Starting at just $79/hour, students can work with current undergraduates at Princeton, Harvard, and other Ivy-League universities to improve their math skills. Families can also work with experienced, professional educators and Ivy-League graduates at $149/hour. As a boutique tutoring service, PrepMaven offers careful attention to each student and boasts amazing customer reviews.

Best of the big companies: The Smarthinking platform developed by publishing giant Pearson provides reasonably-priced math tutoring both on-demand and scheduled in advance, and it’s better than the tutoring provided by other large companies. Their tutors have a higher level of education than many other options — the majority hold advanced degrees. That said, most of their tutors aren’t from top-tier universities, and they struggle to keep good teachers. In addition, their online platform is older and prone to crashing.

Best super-quick tutoring: If students want short-term tutoring available instantly, they might consider Skooli . Skooli is the only tutoring service we reviewed that offers tutoring by the minute. Tutors aren’t necessarily from top schools, and students can’t work with the same tutor consistently, so the quality of tutoring is lower, but on-demand tutoring can start as soon as you enter your credit card details.

Alternative for families on a budget: For families on a tighter budget, we’d suggest looking for an independent tutor on Wyzant . It’s a tutoring marketplace platform, so the quality varies hugely and there’s no oversight or qualification requirements, but you might find a decent math tutor under $40/hour.

However, in our experience a good tutor can accomplish more with a student in one hour than an average tutor can do in five hours . With that in mind, it might be more effective to choose fewer hours of reliably high-quality tutoring.

Ready to improve math skills with one of our experienced tutors? Schedule a free tutoring consultation with Jessica (Director of Tutoring) or one of our founders to see what would be the best fit for your family.

Regardless of your current math abilities and planned career path, building a strong math foundation will pay dividends throughout your life. Math is particularly essential for any student dreaming of a career in STEM.

Remember that high math test scores can be used to earn scholarships as well as college admission, so a few months of math tutoring now can pay off with up to $300,000 in tuition saved later.

Online Math Tutors Who Make it Simple

Math is considered the toughest subject out there. At some point or another most students will come across a topic that they just can’t seem to get. Our state-certified online math tutors are experts at taking the mystery out of math and making it no big deal.

Online Math Tutoring

At its heart, math is a beautiful tapestry of complex patterns and intricate formulas that enchants those who adore its challenges. Sadly, many students fear math and convince themselves they cannot understand it. Math anxiety translates into math becoming one of the most frequently failed subjects in school at every age level. With the guidance of the right math tutor, your child can transform their apprehension into fascination, turning math from a dreaded subject into an engaging journey of discovery.

The Complexities of Math

From the first encounter with long division and fractions to the sophisticated principles of algebra and the intricate theories of calculus, the journey of learning math presents a series of escalating challenges. A significant part of the difficulty arises from the constant memorization of a growing list of formulas and functions, often without truly understanding their applications. When memorization becomes a chore, divorced from comprehension, the formulas seem like cryptic codes rather than meaningful tools for problem-solving. To truly master mathematics, students must understand the “why” behind each formula, moving beyond mere memorization to genuine understanding. One-on-one math tutoring can solve this confounding dilemma.

Individual Learning & Math Tutoring

Every student learns differently—some prefer hands-on experimentation, others need visual representations, and some thrive on auditory instruction. Public schools are often overwhelmed, and teachers cannot tailor each lesson to every child’s needs. Therefore, some students get overlooked.

If your child struggles with mathematics at any level, a math tutor is the ideal solution. Working one-on-one with your child, the tutor can customize the lesson plan to reflect your child’s interests, strengths, and learning style. Your math tutor can construct word problems to reflect your child’s fascination with dinosaurs, baseball, or astronomy, demonstrating the real-world value of mathematics.

Stride Tutoring offers students a wide range of tutoring support in all math subjects. Our pool of math tutors includes algebra tutors , calculus tutors , geometry tutors , trigonometry tutors , and more!

Boosting Academic Performance With a Math Tutor

When a student struggles with math, it can affect their overall academic performance. Poor performance in one area can lower a student’s confidence and motivation across the board. A math tutor can alter this trajectory by ensuring a thorough understanding of concepts, resulting in improved test scores and grades in math. As the student’s confidence grows, so does their performance in other subjects. Moreover, improved performance in math opens doors to college opportunities and better employment prospects.

Cornell startup offers AI-powered math help

By kathy hovis.

One TikTok video that went viral confirmed to Nour Gajial ’26 and Yanni Kouloumbis ’26 that they were on to something with MathGPT.

In the TikTok, Gajial introduces their math learning platform by asking viewers to “imagine if Chegg and ChatGPT had a baby.” She then shows how students can take a screenshot of their math problem, upload it to MathGPT and receive “an instant solution with very clear steps.” Gajial’s TikTok reached more than 1.5 million people and was shared by more than 60,000 students..

Gajial and Kouloumbis said they created MathGPT to help high school and college students struggling with math understand how to approach their math problems step by step. Through clear explanations, MathGPT aims to create a strong foundation for each student’s conceptual understanding. 

“The main goal of the platform is not to get a solution, that’s almost trivial,” Kouloumbis said. “We want students to gain a broad understanding of math when they use our site. We want to be the one place where students come when they have a math problem.”

Beyond  explaining the solution of the math problem, the site’s chat area acts like a math tutor, giving students practice problems like the one they just solved.

Gajial and Kouloumbis, both computer science majors in the College of Engineering, said they had lots of experience with large language models (LLMs), even before the emergence of ChatGPT.

“Conventional wisdom then was that these models couldn’t do math well, but GPT-4 actually does pretty well or at least points you in the right direction,” Kouloumbis said. But still, GPT-4 doesn’t show the steps it took to get the solution and it’s not always accurate, Gajial said.

To make their platform accurate, they’ve included custom prompts and an augmented retrieval technique that leverages thousands of problems and uses  “few-shot learning.” a machine learning technique that allows AI models to learn from labeled training data. They’ve also come up with a way to help the LLM understand the LaTeX math symbols (those pesky Greek letters, less than and greater than symbols, etc.) in a problem and then also use them in the answer. 

To spread the word about MathGPT, the cofounders have used their TikTok (which now has nearly 1,800 followers)and spent time on math servers in the social platform Discord, where they showed students how easy it was to find help on MathGPT.

“These Discord servers had tens of thousands of people who provided math help, but it was all manual,” Kouloumbis said, so he and Gajial showed users the automatic way that MathGPT could help solve the same problems.

Gajial and Kouloumbis have felt supported by various entrepreneurship organizations on campus. They consistently attend Thursday evening Startup Hours hosted by Life Changing Labs, where they said they’ve met many other student founders. They also received a Beck Fellowship and Canaan Fellowship to work on their business. And they’ve been supported by Nancy Almann at Blackstone LaunchPad at Cornell, who has connected them to alumni and encouraged them to make strategic hires for their team.

This summer, they’re working to build out other areas on their site, which offer help with physics, statistics and accounting. And they’re creating AI-generated videos to go along with their solutions, allowing students to watch on-demand videos about their problem.

So far, more than 3.5 million problems have been submitted to the platform, and 385,000 people have made an account  with MathGPT, which includes daily free help. Users can access unlimited math help by buying a subscription. 

“We want to give you all the resources you need to solve problems and understand how they work,” Gajial said. “We want students to feel confident and help as many people as possible.”

Mathematicians Are Edging Close to Solving One of the World's 7 Hardest Math Problems

And there’s $1 million at stake.

• In new research, mathematicians have narrowed down one of the biggest outstanding problems in math.
• Huge breakthroughs in math and science are usually the work of many people over many years.
• Seven math problems were given a $1 million bounty each in 2000, and just one has been solved so far.

The “Millennium Problems” are seven infamously intractable math problems laid out in the year 2000 by the prestigious Clay Institute, each with $1 million attached as payment for a solution. They span all areas of math , as the Clay Institute was founded in 1998 to push the entire field forward with financial support for researchers and important breakthroughs.

But the only solved Millennium Problem so far, the Poincare conjecture, illustrates one of the funny pitfalls inherent to offering a large cash prize for math. The winner, Grigori Perelman, refused the Clay prize as well as the prestigious Fields Medal. He withdrew from mathematics and public life in 2006, and even in 2010, he still insisted his contribution was the same as the mathematician whose work laid the foundation on which he built his proof, Richard Hamilton.

Math, all sciences, and arguably all human inquiries are filled with pairs or groups that circle the same finding at the same time until one officially makes the breakthrough. Think about Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, whose back-and-forth about calculus led to the combined version of the field we still study today. Rosalind Franklin is now mentioned in the same breath as her fellow discoverers of DNA, James Watson and Francis Crick. Even the Bechdel Test for women in media is sometimes called the Bechdel-Wallace Test, because humans are almost always in collaboration.

That’s what makes this new paper so important. Two mathematicians—Larry Guth of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and James Maynard of the University of Oxford—collaborated on the new finding about how certain polynomials are formed and how they reach out into the number line. Maynard is just 37, and won the Fields Medal himself in 2022. Guth, a decade older, has won a number of important prizes with a little less name recognition.

The Riemann hypothesis is not directly related to prime numbers , but it has implications that ripple through number theory in different ways (including with prime numbers). Basically, it deals with where and how the graph of a certain function of complex numbers crosses back and forth across axes. The points where the function crosses an axis is called a “zero,” and the frequency with which those zeroes appear is called the zero density.

In the far reaches of the number line, prime numbers become less and less predictable (in the proverbial sense). They are not, so far, predictable in the literal sense—a fact that is an underpinning of modern encryption , where data is protected by enormous strings of integers made by multiplying enormous prime numbers together. The idea of a periodic table of primes, of any kind of template that could help mathematicians better understand where and how large primes cluster together or not, is a holy grail.

In the new paper, Maynard and Guth focus on a new limitation of Dirichlet polynomials. These are special series of complex numbers that many believe are of the same type as the function involved in the Riemann hypothesis involves. In the paper, they claim they’ve proven that these polynomials have a certain number of large values, or solutions , within a tighter range than before.

In other words, if we knew there might be an estimated three Dirichlet values between 50 and 100 before, now we may know that range to be between 60 and 90 instead. The eye exam just switched a blurry plate for a slightly less blurry one, but we still haven’t found the perfect prescription. “If one knows some more structure about the set of large values of a Dirichlet polynomial, then one can hope to have improved bound,” Maynard and Guth conclude.

No, this is not a final proof of the Riemann hypothesis. But no one is suggesting it is. In advanced math, narrowing things down is also vital. Indeed, even finding out that a promising idea turns out to be wrong can have a lot of value—as it has a number of times in the related Twin Primes Conjecture that still eludes mathematicians.

In a collaboration that has lasted 160 years and counting, mathematicians continue to take each step together and then, hopefully, compare notes.

Toby keith posthumously reaches a landmark for the very first time.

INDIO, CA - APRIL 26: Musician Toby Keith performs onstage at day 1 of the 2013 Stagecoach ... [+] California's Country Music Festival at The Empire Polo Field on April 26, 2013 in Indio, California. Toby Keith’s 35 Biggest Hits compilation is now his first to spend three years on the Billboard 200 albums chart. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Stagecoach)

Toby Keith passed away this past February, and ever since, his fans have been reeling from the loss. The country legend’s 35 Biggest Hits compilation has continued to chart in the months following his death, as millions of Americans continue to listen to the tunes that made him a superstar during his lifetime. This frame, that set reaches a notable milestone–one that Keith never got to see.

35 Biggest Hits has now lived on the Billboard 200 for three years. As of this turn, the compilation of the country musician’s biggest and most beloved tunes has spent 156 weeks somewhere on the roster of the most-consumed albums in the U.S.

This week, 35 Biggest Hits even manages to climb on the Billboard 200…though only slightly. The title lifts one rung to No. 71 this time around.

In the past tracking week, 35 Biggest Hits moved another 13,000 equivalent units. According to Luminate, that number is actually down just over 1% from the period before. Despite the loss in total consumption, the title is still able to climb.

35 Biggest Hits marks Keith’s first project to rack up 156 stays on the all-genre ranking of the most popular albums in the country. Two other releases from the genre favorite, Greatest Hits 2 and Unleashed , have barely pushed past triple-digit turns on the tally. They have earned 106 and 104 stays on the list, respectively.

In the days following his death, which came as a shock to millions, 35 Biggest Hits became massively popular once again. The compilation shot to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for the first time, making Keith one of a relatively small number of acts to top the tally posthumously.

NYT ‘Strands’ Hints, Spangram And Answers For Wednesday, July 10th

How the ‘lady gaga of math’ is thinking differently about math education, the 24 best early prime day tv deals you can find right now.

In the months since then, 35 Biggest Hits has remained a go-to for people wanting to hear Keith’s music again. All the streams and sales of individual smashes from his catalog fuel the ongoing success of this one title, so there’s a good chance that it will continue to chart for weeks, months, and possibly even years to come.
