Math · Grades 5–8
Elementary & Middle Math
Number sense, fractions, ratios, and pre-algebra — the foundation everything later is built on.
For grades 5–8 building the basics.
What’s covered
- Fractions, decimals & percents
- Ratios & proportional reasoning
- Integers & order of operations
- Expressions & one-step equations
- Word problems & problem-solving
Our approach
We rebuild the foundation in order, fill the specific gaps the assessment finds, and use lots of low-stakes practice so confidence grows before the stakes do.
Representative outcome
Students typically move up a full letter grade within a semester (illustrative).
Your student might need this if…
- Falling behind in class
- Dreads or avoids homework
- Gaps from a disrupted year
- Getting ready for algebra
Common questions
About Elem & Middle Math tutoring
- Both. Online sessions are available anywhere by video and tend to be a little more affordable; in-home sessions are offered across the greater Madison area and carry a small travel premium. Many families mix the two.
- Most students start with one 60-minute session per week; SAT/ACT prep works best at 90 minutes. We can ramp up before a big test or final and ease off when things are stable.
