How Our 3rd Grade Math Tutoring Works

Free diagnostic assessment

Every child starts with a short diagnostic test. This is there to identify any gaps in multiplication and division facts, fractions on a number line, place value to thousands, and overall problem-solving skills. It’s not an exam, and it’s completely student-friendly, so no need for your child to stress.

Personalized learning plan

Based on the results, we create a plan to close skill gaps and help your child reach their goals. While learning plans are personalized, they make sure to cover key 3rd grade topics like two-step word problems, area and perimeter, and regrouping in addition/subtraction, all aligned with the US state standards, including Common Core math grade 3. As a result, children familiarize themselves with problem-solving strategies and elementary math skills.

1:1 live online lessons

Tutors build trust and connect with students through live online lessons. Each lesson is made interactive with visual math learning, digital tools, and math games for kids. We have tutors based all over the world, so you can easily find a time slot that suits you.

Homework help & test prep

Tutors support students with their school homework, quizzes, and chapter tests. During online lessons, they use math practice worksheets, example questions, and real exam-style problems. Thanks to math homework help, students feel more prepared for assessments.

Weekly progress updates

Parents receive updates on topics covered, skills improved, and areas in progress. Besides grades, you’ll see growth in accuracy, speed, and math confidence for kids. You’ll also have clear guidance on what topics are next.

Before I signed up for Brighterly, I really struggled to connect with my 3rd grade son positively about math. It really placed stress on our relationship. My son hated math! I was apprehensive about signing up, but I am sincerely so relieved I did. I mean WOW! The difference in my son in just a few months is mind blowing! We were paired with Nadel, and she has far exceeded my expectations! She is supportive, loving and firm when my son needs it. I don't know what I'd do without her. My son now LOVES math and is excited to jump online with her. He is now seeking me out to quiz him!

My child and I had a wonderful experience with Brighterly. The instructors were engaging and the lesson plans were customizable to my child. I loved the extra homework they provided to reinforce the skills my child was learning. My child's tutor was Jepril Peña who was a joy to work with. It was very easy to reschedule tutoring sessions around family activities. If you are looking for an engaging, affordable tutoring option for a child who is able to do online learning I highly recommend Brighterly!
