MATH TUTOR NYC
Expert Math Tutoring for All Levels in New York City
Looking for a math tutor near me in NYC? I'm Deb Shrestho, providing comprehensive math tutoring for grades 5-12. From Algebra and Geometry to Calculus and Statistics, I help students master fundamentals and excel in exams.
Why Math Tutoring Becomes Necessary
After working with 80+ NYC students, here are the REAL math struggles families face - and how I solve them:
Homework Battles Every Night
Math homework becomes a 2-hour nightly battle. Tears, frustration, parents trying to help but don't remember the "new" methods. Everyone's stressed, nothing gets done.
I take homework OFF parents' plates completely. We review ALL homework in our sessions. I explain every problem, show multiple methods, and ensure understanding. Parents get their evenings back.
"I Get It In Class But Forget At Home"
Student understands when teacher explains but can't do homework alone. They watch, nod along, then stare blankly at problems later. No transfer of learning.
I don't lecture - YOU do the work. I guide, ask questions, and make YOU solve problems step-by-step. Active learning = real understanding. You'll remember because YOU figured it out.
Word Problems = Instant Panic
Students can solve "3x + 5 = 20" easily but freeze when it's: "Sarah has 5 apples and buys 3 more. How many total?" Can't translate words into math equations.
I teach a systematic approach: Identify what you're solving for → Underline key numbers → Draw diagrams → Translate to equation → Solve. We practice 100+ word problems until it's automatic.
Good Grades But No Real Understanding
Student gets B's and C's by memorizing steps for tests, then forgets everything next unit. No foundation. Math becomes harder every year because gaps keep growing.
We go back and fill gaps FIRST. I identify what you missed from previous years and rebuild foundation. Then current material makes sense. You're not just memorizing - you UNDERSTAND.
"I'm Just Not a Math Person"
Student convinced they're "bad at math." They've failed so many tests, gotten so much negative feedback, they've given up. Math anxiety is real and crippling.
I rebuild confidence through small wins. Start with problems you CAN solve, then gradually increase difficulty. Celebrate every success. You're not "bad at math" - you just need the right teacher.
Different Methods Confuse Students
Teacher teaches one method. Parent learned a different method. YouTube shows a third method. Student is confused which one to use and mixes them up, getting wrong answers.
I teach YOUR school's method first so tests are easy. Then I show alternative methods for understanding. You'll know multiple approaches and when to use each. Flexibility = mastery.
What Makes My Math Tutoring Different
100% Homework Priority
School homework comes FIRST every session. We review, correct, and explain every assignment. Extra practice happens AFTER homework is mastered.
Customized Practice Problems
I create custom worksheets targeting YOUR specific weak areas. Not generic practice - problems designed exactly for what YOU struggle with.

I tutor students in grades 5-12, covering everything from elementary math through AP Calculus BC. Also test prep for SAT, SHSAT, State Tests, and Regents exams.
How quickly will I see improvement?
Most students see grade improvements within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring (2-3 sessions/week). Test scores typically improve after 8-12 weeks of focused prep.
