Once my son hit middle school, I was no longer able to help him with math. Who am I kidding? My help probably ended somewhere around the 5th grade. Clearly I am NOT smarter than a 5th grader. LOL. MathCrunch levels the parent playing field!
Often times during the week while my son was doing homework, he would have questions about math that my husband and I just couldn't help him with. We would call the homework hotline for the school and sometimes the wait was pretty long. Although he figured out a lot for himself, there really were times when he needed a teacher to help him out. Or a tutor.
MathCrunch is exactly what your student needs when it comes to math. MathCrunch Offers Live Tutoring Help for Math which is absolutely wonderful.
MathCrunch presents a new better-than-ever MathCrunch. They now have a stronger emphasis on real educational value with elements like an honor code, student session history, and a stronger rating algorithm. They’ve also streamlined tutor hiring and created an even more student-friendly experience, including their latest feature: really smart indicators that tell you how long the wait will be for an available tutor (hint: not long).
With an emphasis on educational values, awesome features and an updated experience, MathCrunch is better, faster, smarter, stronger.
They place an emphasis on the best tutoring methods to ensure every student receives the highest quality of tutoring. They are dedicated to not only providing answers but to providing students with an extensive understanding of common core concepts.
MORE ON MATHCRUNCHMathCrunch is at the helm of on-demand, mobile tutoring and they’re setting the bar high for platforms that follow in their footsteps.
Academic Values
MathCrunch is about providing an enjoyable experience with a really serious purpose. Old-fashioned principles of strong academic values are close to their heart. To protect these, they have designed a new in-app sign-up process. Students commit to academic honesty and promise to learn. By holding students accountable for their learning, MathCrunch encourages them to take responsibility for their own education. They want students to not only get the right answers, but also grasp concepts and get comfortable with the common core.
Tailored Instruction
Everyone learns differently, and great teachers know that. True to their core values, MathCrunch would like their tutors to be able to work with the students as if they were their own. So the new “session history” feature allows tutors to review students’ previous sessions, so they can tailor their teaching to fit everyone’s unique strengths and weaknesses. Students will also have access to their session history so they can study their previous sessions.
Great Teaching
As always, students can rate their tutor at the end of each session. (Please do this, it helps everyone!) MathCrunch has now placed a greater emphasis on their tutor rating algorithm to ensure the best possible quality for their students. MathCrunch has also improved the way they hire tutors. All tutor applicants are tested on their academic and communication skills—both are equally important!—via a comprehensive math exam and in-depth interview. After tutors are onboard, they are shadowed for their first few sessions. Just like in the best schools, MathCrunch always keeps their tutors up-to-date on the best teaching methods and practices.
Function + Style
Their re-design is vibrant, simplified, and more user-friendly. Wait-time indicators let students know how long it will be before they’re connected with a tutor; the goal is to have wait times no longer than two minutes.
Funding
Lastly, MathCrunch is very excited to announce that they’ve raised $3.5M in seed funding in a round led by Index Ventures and Floodgate Fund, with participation from Sherpa Ventures, Formation 8, Slow Ventures, and other notable contributors. That’s right. More funding, more improvements, more MathCrunch. They’re going to make a real impact on education and they’re only just getting started.

I’ve heard nothing but great things about MathCrunch. I’ll have to check it out for my kids!
Something like this would have helped me so much with math anxiety as a child. Hopefully Red won’t have that problem
This is so great. I know a lot of kids who could use the extra help with math.
What a great way to keep your kids on top of their math skills. Math is an easy subject to get behind in.
I haven heard some wonderful things about math crunch. I’m going to have to check it out. Sounds like a great help!
My oldest is going into middle school next year and struggles in math. Having a live tutor available would work wonders for her, especially if daddy is at work since I am horrible at math myself.
My little guy struggles in math. This would be perfect for him.
MathCrunch sounds great. I need to download the app so my niece can use it.
This sounds like a great option for those that need a bit of extra help. It would be great to help kids retain information over the Summer.
I’m happy to see there’s help out there for kids who are struggling!
I struggled a lot with math in college. Tutoring would have been very helpful.
That’s awesome that they’ve raised so much. It sounds like a lot of great things are in store for the future for them too. 🙂 My youngest is a math whiz now, I hope he stays that way. 🙂
MathCrunch sounds like a great way for kids to learn the process of math formulas. The Pledge is an nice incentive.
What a great resource! I would have loved this when I was a kid and struggled with math.
I’ve been reading about this math program and it sounds great to keep kids going over the summer. Our teachers have always stressed the importance of kids reading and doing math over the summer to keep their skills up. This sounds like a great way to do that that is also fun.
I could have used something like this when I was a kid! I still struggle with my math skills.
Sounds like a great tool to help your kids with school work. I hope I will still be able to help my kids when it comes to math.
I think my daughter would like to have this for math. I’ll have to check into it.
I was a tutor in high school , college and in grad school. I understand the importance of having a good one.
I’ll share this. So many of my friends can’t help their kids with math.
What a great service. It’s hard these days to help kids when we went to school ages ago. My 20 year reunion is coming up. A lot has changed. Live tutors can be very useful.
I was definitely a hands-on type of math learner. The live tutoring would be so helpful!
This is one of the best things about technology. There are so many wonderful ways that kids can learn through technology like apps and online chats.
I hadn’t heard of this program before. Sounds like a great app!
This is an amazing math learning program it seems. I am happy kids can learn in a more interactive way with MathCrunch!
Its important to my husband and I that our daughters have a strong math background. I am not the good with math and he is a math wiz, so I support him pushing them to always be working with math and numbers.
