Online Math Tutoring for K–12 Students

Pricing for APLUS America starts from $24 per week, with family-friendly options for math only or both math and English. Every plan includes access to the online learning platform, the Math Doctor diagnostic assessment, your child's personalized weekly lesson plan, tutor support, weekly progress reports, and the rewards system. There are no per-session tutoring fees or hidden costs. New students also get their first 2 weeks free, during which your child can complete the Math Doctor assessment, explore the platform, and receive their first personalized lesson plan. To put that in context, private math tutors typically charge $40 to $80 per hour, so from around $24 per week APLUS America is a more affordable way to access personalized math and English support, with a clear weekly plan and real tutor support included.

Online math tutoring can work very well when your child has the right structure and support around them. With APLUS America, your child is not left to figure things out alone. They receive a personalized weekly math learning plan based on the skills they need most, with short, interactive lessons they can complete at home. The online format gives your child flexibility, while the weekly plan keeps learning structured and consistent. If they need extra help, our online tutors are available by phone to explain concepts and answer questions. For families, this gives the best of both worlds: the convenience of learning from home, with real tutor support available when it is needed.

Our tutors are available during support hours, Monday to Thursday after school, up to 10 hours per week. Students can call when they need help with a question or concept. Our tutors use screen sharing technology and an interactive whiteboard to walk through the problem step by step, so your child gets a clear explanation rather than just an answer. Your child's learning plan is designed to be self-guided, with lessons and step-by-step solutions built in, but knowing tutor support is available can make a real difference. Parents can call too, to discuss their child's progress or talk through the weekly report.

Math Doctor is our diagnostic assessment that identifies exactly which math concepts your child knows and which ones have gaps. Every new student is encouraged to complete it when they join, it's the foundation for everything that follows. The assessment looks at the full K–12 math curriculum in a broad sense, testing across the topics covered at your child's level and beyond. The results tell us not just what grade your child is working at, but specifically which skills need attention. Once the assessment is complete, our tutors use the results to build your child's first personalized weekly lesson plan, starting with the gaps that are most important to address. The plan is then updated every week based on the previous week's results. For students in Kindergarten to Grade 2, our tutors may recommend starting before completing Math Doctor. For all other students, completing it as early as possible gives the most accurate starting point.

APLUS America covers math from Kindergarten through Grade 12. The full curriculum is aligned to Common Core Standards and includes: Kindergarten through Grade 5 (counting, number sense, operations, base ten, fractions, decimals, measurement, geometry, and word problems); Grades 6 through 8 (ratios and proportional relationships, the number system, integers, expressions and equations, geometry, statistics, and probability); and high school (Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry, Probability and Statistics, and AP Calculus). Within each level, the curriculum is broken down into individual lessons and units so the personalized plan can target exactly what your child needs.

It varies between students, but many families notice a shift in attitude and engagement within the first few weeks, particularly once earlier gaps start to close and concepts begin to make more sense. As your child builds stronger skills and a consistent learning habit, academic improvement can follow, whether that's stronger test results, more consistent class performance, or greater confidence with homework. We recommend around 20 minutes, 4 times per week. The Math Doctor assessment helps make progress easier to track from the start, and the weekly reports show what they have covered, how they are performing, and what their plan will focus on next. If you ever have concerns, you can contact tutor support to talk through the learning plan.

Yes. Your child's personalized lesson plan is tailored to their needs, based on their initial and ongoing assessments plus their progress. Lessons are clear, structured, and self-guided, with clues, hints, and instant feedback built in. Worked solutions are also available, so if your child gets stuck or answers incorrectly, they can see the steps and understand how to approach it next time. This built-in support helps them keep moving independently. And when they need extra help, our tutor line is available during Math Wiz support hours, Monday to Thursday after school. Tutors can talk through the question, explain the concept in another way, and help your child understand the next step.

As a guide, your child's math lesson plan is designed to be completed in short, manageable sessions. We recommend around 20 minutes, 4 times per week, rather than trying to complete everything in one sitting. That said, the time can vary between students. Some children move through activities quickly, while others need more time to work through the tutorials, clues, hints, and step-by-step solutions. What matters most is that your child is understanding each concept, not rushing to finish. If your child finds the work too challenging, we can take the plan back a step; if they find it too easy, we can adjust the plan to give them more challenge.

Each weekly lesson plan is built around three things: the results of your child's Math Doctor assessment, how they performed on the previous week's lessons and tests, and the ongoing need for revision and consolidation. Math Doctor identifies the foundational gaps. The plan then addresses those gaps first, in a logical sequence, so that each new concept builds on one that's already been understood. As the weeks go on, the plan evolves based on your child's results, moving away from topics they've mastered and spending more time where they need it. If you want a specific topic added to the plan, you can call the tutor line and a tutor can make that adjustment.

Yes, and it's encouraged. What they do next depends on their grade level. For elementary school students, the best use of extra time is the educational games. These aren't just filler, they're designed to reinforce important concepts like times tables in a way that builds fluency through repetition and makes practice feel enjoyable. For middle and high school students, the most valuable extra work is practicing the topics they're currently covering in school. They can use the search tool in Math Wiz to find lessons on exactly what their teacher is working through in class, giving them extra repetitions on current content before it comes up in tests. If your child regularly finishes their plan with time to spare and you'd like it adjusted, just call the tutor line.

Khan Academy and IXL are both solid tools for students who are motivated to direct their own learning. The main difference with APLUS America is that we do the planning and personalization for you, and we add a human layer that neither of those platforms provides. Khan Academy is essentially a library, with excellent explanations and a wide range of content, but it doesn't tell your child what to work on or adjust based on their specific gaps. IXL is strong for practice and gives useful feedback, but again, it doesn't build a plan around your child's individual diagnostic results. APLUS America starts with the Math Doctor assessment to identify exactly what your child is missing, then builds a fresh weekly plan every Monday that targets those gaps in order. Your child doesn't have to figure out where to start, they log in and the work is ready. And when they genuinely can't work something out, there's a tutor available by phone, which is something neither Khan Academy nor IXL offers.
