Math Tutoring

Watch Their Progress Unfold. Step In at the Perfect Moment.

Visual Learning • Self-Paced Progress • In-Person or Online

What if you could tutor with a method that actually works better—and makes your job easier? SumoMath's visual approach helps students master arithmetic faster than traditional methods. Students work through content at their own level, and you're right there to help when they make a mistake or need clarification. It works perfectly for both in-person and online tutoring.

Each student progresses independently through engaging visual exercises at their own pace. You watch as they work, step in when they struggle, correct mistakes as they happen, and provide guidance exactly when it's needed. It's tutoring that actually gets results—without the usual struggles.

A Better Way to Teach Arithmetic

Why Visual-Mental Math Works Better Than Traditional Methods

You've seen it: students memorize procedures, pass tests, then forget everything by next month. SumoMath's visual approach builds permanent understanding that transforms struggling students into confident calculators.

Students Understand, Not Just Memorize

The visual-spatial method shows students why math works, not just how to follow procedures. They see numbers as patterns, manipulate mental images, and develop genuine number sense. This understanding is permanent—like learning to ride a bike, they never forget it.

  • Builds true number sense, not rote memorization
  • Visual representation makes abstract concepts concrete
  • Mental calculation develops deep understanding
  • Skills transfer to all areas of math

Makes Arithmetic Fun & Engaging

Students actually enjoy practicing arithmetic with our visual method. The interactive exercises feel like games, progress is immediately visible, and success builds momentum. No more dragging reluctant students through tedious worksheets.

  • Game-like interface keeps students engaged
  • Immediate feedback creates satisfying progress
  • Students ask for more practice voluntarily
  • Math anxiety transforms into math confidence

Self-Paced Doesn't Mean Students Don't Need YOU

Even though the content is self-paced and self-learning, students absolutely need a tutor. Here's why: Children lack self-discipline to practice consistently without supervision. They make mistakes they don't catch on their own. They need immediate correction and clarification when confused. Children rarely take their parents seriously as teachers—emotional dynamics and arguing interfere with learning. Most importantly, they need YOUR professional authority, encouragement, accountability, and personal connection to stay motivated. The platform provides the content—YOU provide the guidance, correction, and motivation that makes it actually work. That's why tutored students succeed while solo learners drop out.

Built for Tutors

Perfect for One-on-One Instruction

Self-Paced Learning

Each student works at their perfect pace. Advanced students move quickly, struggling students get unlimited practice without pressure. No more one-size-fits-all lessons that don't fit anyone.

Real-Time Progress Tracking

See exactly where each student is, what they've mastered, and where they're struggling. Your dashboard shows everything you need to provide targeted help at the perfect moment.

Complete Curriculum Included

Students follow a proven curriculum automatically. No more creating lesson plans, finding worksheets, or designing activities. The platform guides students step-by-step through mastery.

Interactive Teaching Tools

Digital soroban, visual exercises, fun challenges, and interactive games. Keep sessions engaging and productive with tools students actually enjoy using.

Homework & Practice

Students practice between sessions on any device. You see exactly what they did at home, making your tutoring sessions more focused and effective.

Easy Parent Reports

Generate professional progress reports instantly. Show parents exactly what their child has achieved and where they're heading next. Data-driven results build trust and referrals.

Remote Tutoring Made Simple

Teaching Online With SumoMath

Online tutoring can be challenging—it's hard to see what students are doing and provide hands-on guidance. SumoMath solves these problems with tools specifically designed for remote instruction.

How Online Tutoring Works

SumoMath makes remote tutoring as effective as in-person sessions—sometimes even more effective.

01

Review What Student Did Since Last Session

Before your live session, check your dashboard to see exactly what your student practiced at home. How much time did they spend? Which exercises did they complete? Where did they struggle? You walk into every session fully prepared without spending time on lesson planning.

02

Set Up Your Zoom or Google Meet Session

Connect via Zoom, Google Meet, or any video platform. For soroban work, use one or two devices—whatever works best. Some tutors use two cameras (hands and face), others tilt one device to show either face or fingers as needed. Your student can do the same. You choose the setup that works for you.

03

Students Follow Curriculum While You Guide

No more creating lessons! Students work through the structured curriculum on their device. You watch their progress in real-time, answer questions, provide encouragement, and help when they get stuck. You're the guide, not the content creator.

04

Add Fun Activities & Games

Use SumoMath's interactive tools to make sessions engaging: speed challenges, pattern recognition games, mental math competitions. Students stay focused and excited about arithmetic practice.

05

Analyze Results & Report to Parents

After sessions, review analytics to understand exactly where each student needs more work. Generate professional reports showing parents their child's progress with data, charts, and insights. Parents see the value you're providing and happily continue paying for sessions—and refer other families to you.

Effective Method + Self-Paced Learning = Tutoring Made Simple

Imagine tutoring with a method that genuinely works, where every student makes visible progress. Imagine students working at their own perfect level and pace while you're right there to help when they struggle. Imagine catching mistakes immediately and providing clarification exactly when it's needed—whether you're sitting next to them or connecting online.

That's what SumoMath enables. The visual method builds real understanding. The self-paced structure lets each student work at their own level. You watch, guide, correct, and encourage as they progress independently. This is tutoring the way it should be—effective, personalized, and truly impactful.

Common Questions from Math Tutors

Adding a new platform to your tutoring practice is a significant decision. Here are answers to questions we hear most often from professional tutors.

Students work through visual exercises at their own level, and you watch as they progress—whether sitting next to them in-person or via video call online. When they make a mistake, you catch it immediately. When they need clarification, you're right there to explain. Before each session, quickly review what they practiced since last time (takes 2-3 minutes). During sessions, you observe, guide, correct, and encourage as they work through the content independently.

  • Students work at their own level independently
  • Watch as they work and help when needed
  • Correct mistakes immediately as they happen
  • Works for both in-person and online tutoring

Absolutely! SumoMath works seamlessly for both in-person sessions (student works on laptop/tablet while you guide them) and remote sessions (you both connect via video while student uses platform).

  • Perfect for in-person tutoring sessions
  • Ideal for online/remote tutoring
  • Works on any device with web browser
  • Flexible for hybrid tutoring models

Parents don't need to understand the method—they just need to see results! When their child starts calculating in their head and showing genuine excitement about arithmetic, parents are thrilled. The progress reports you generate show clear improvement with data to back it up. Most parents are simply amazed at how quickly their child improves.

  • Results speak for themselves
  • Professional reports show clear progress
