Our tutors

A good tutoring relationship matters.

Northstar Mathematical Coaching is a founder-led online mathematics tutoring company. Your student will work one-to-one with a Northstar tutor selected based on their academic needs and scheduling requirements.

How matching works

How Northstar matches students and tutors.

Every match starts with the student, not a schedule slot. Northstar considers:

  • The mathematics subject or course
  • What the student needs most right now
  • Family scheduling and preferred times
  • Tutor availability
  • Instructional fit between tutor and student
