What kind of tutors do you hire?

Experienced, professional tutors who specialize in the subjects they teach. They are not gig or marketplace tutors or students picking up sessions on the side; tutoring is what they do. Each one knows the subject well, knows where students commonly get stuck, and can explain a concept more than one way. You can read individual profiles on our teachers page.

How do you customize the math curriculum to my student?

We build the plan around your individual student rather than running everyone through a fixed program. We start by watching how your student thinks and finding where the gaps actually are, then design a personalized plan aligned to their school curriculum or enrichment goal, and adapt it as they progress so the time is always spent on what helps most next.

Do you tutor Geometry, and how do you teach it?

Yes. We teach Geometry hands-on with compass, straightedge, and protractor, covering the language of geometry, postulates and theorems, writing proofs, parallel and perpendicular lines, triangle congruency and similarity, special lines in triangles, inscribed and circumscribed circles, quadrilaterals, and areas of regular polygons. Students build figures by construction and write their own proofs, so they understand why a result is true rather than memorizing steps.

How do we get started, and where can I see pricing?

Start with a free consultation. We review where your student is, recommend a starting point, and help identify the right next step. You can enroll through our sign-up form, and tutoring pricing is listed on our tuition and fees page. We have been tutoring math on the Eastside since 2012.

Do you offer Algebra tutoring in Redmond?

Yes. Archimedes offers in-person Algebra I, Algebra II, and Algebra II Honors tutoring at our Redmond center, with online math tutoring also available nationwide. Instruction is aligned to the student’s course and can address foundations, equations and inequalities, functions, exponents and radicals, polynomials and factoring, quadratics, and related topics.

Our approach to math tutoring

Archimedes students work with experienced, professional math tutors, not a gig or marketplace tutor selected from an open directory. The person sitting with your student has taught the subject before, knows where students usually get stuck, and can explain the same idea more than one way.

From there, we build a curriculum customized to each student. We do not hand out a standardized lesson plan and move everyone through it at the same pace. Instead, we tailor the work to the student's needs: where they are now, what their class expects of them, and the goal they are working toward.

That tailoring starts with watching how each student thinks. We observe the methods a student already uses, keep and sharpen the ones that work, and introduce new ones where the old approach is slowing them down. The aim is deep understanding rather than memorized steps, so the student can carry the reasoning into the next unit instead of relearning it from scratch.

Who math tutoring is for

We work with students across a wide range of situations, and the plan looks different for each one because the starting point is different.

Students who have fallen behind and need to rebuild foundations and confidence
Students who are on grade level and want real depth and understanding, not just a passing grade
Students accelerating into honors, AP Pre-Calculus, or AP Calculus
Families who want a personalized alternative to large or marketplace tutoring

How it works

We start with a free consultation to understand your student’s current course, goals, and starting point. From there, we look closely at how your student thinks and where the gaps actually are, which is often not where a report card suggests.

We then design a personalized math plan, aligned either to your student's school curriculum or to an enrichment goal if they are working ahead. As the student progresses, we adapt the plan rather than holding to a fixed sequence, so the time is always spent on what will help most next.

Math levels and courses we teach

We tutor math across grades 5–12, from arithmetic foundations and pre-algebra through multivariable calculus and statistics. The levels below show the kind of work each course covers. The exact plan for your student is set during the consultation and adjusted as we go.

Middle-school math and arithmetic foundations

For students rebuilding foundations, instruction can focus on number sense, fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, percentages, integers, exponents, and equations. The aim is not simply to finish the next worksheet; it is to repair the ideas that later algebra depends on.

Elementary Math: number sense, fractions, decimals, and the foundations students carry into middle school math
Pre-Algebra: number sets, arithmetic with integers, fractions, and decimals, ratio, proportion, and percent, exponents, order of operations, and solving one-variable equations and inequalities

Algebra I, Algebra II, and Algebra II Honors

Algebra tutoring is aligned to the student’s actual course and current gaps. Work may include linear equations and inequalities, functions, exponents and radicals, polynomials and factoring, quadratics, and exponential or radical equations. Tutors ask students to explain why each step is valid so they can recognize the same structure in an unfamiliar problem.

Algebra I: exponents and radicals, polynomials and factoring, linear equations and inequalities, and an introduction to functions
Algebra II and Algebra II Honors: transformations of functions, and linear, quadratic, exponential, and radical functions and equations

Geometry and trigonometry

Geometry: the language of geometry, postulates, theorems, and writing proofs, parallel and perpendicular lines, triangle congruency and similarity, special lines in triangles, inscribed and circumscribed circles, quadrilaterals, and areas of regular polygons, taught hands-on with compass, straightedge, and protractor
Trigonometry: angles, the unit circle, identities, and the groundwork for Pre-Calculus

Precalculus and AP Precalculus

Pre-Calculus and AP Pre-Calculus: transformations, inverse functions, complex numbers, rational and exponential graphs, logarithms, trigonometry, and an introduction to limits

Calculus, AP Calculus AB/BC, and multivariable calculus

For students continuing beyond AP Calculus, Archimedes also lists multivariable calculus among its current math offerings.

Calculus and AP Calculus AB and BC: limits and continuity, derivatives and their rules, related rates, the Mean Value Theorem, analysis of functions, integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Statistics

Statistics: offered as its own course for students taking statistics in school or for the AP exam

Understanding over memorization, shown not claimed

Our teaching philosophy is easiest to see in how we run two of the harder courses.

In Geometry, we teach hands-on with compass, straightedge, and protractor. Students build figures by construction and write their own proofs, so a theorem becomes something they have reasoned out rather than a line to memorize. That habit of justifying each step is what carries forward when the problems get harder.

In Calculus, we teach through limits and the meaning of the derivative rather than plug-and-chug routines. When a student understands what a derivative measures, the rules stop being arbitrary and the word problems stop being a guessing game.

We draw on materials refined over more than a decade of teaching. The goal throughout is independence and confidence: a student who can reason through an unfamiliar problem, not one who depends on a trick that only works on the example they were shown.
