Confident in math by September.
I'm Luke Confino and I'd like to help your student become better at math through 1-on-1 tutoring. Math is my favorite subject, and I'm passionate about helping students learn math.

The summer slide is real. Students lose 1–3 months of math skills over the break — about a quarter to a third of everything they learned all year. My program is built specifically to stop it.

Beat the Summer Slide
Who it’s for
For a student who struggled last year — or to keep hard-won skills sharp over the break.
What we do
We review last year’s math using their own graded tests: find the gaps, re-teach them, and re-test to prove the improvement.
Get a Head Start
Who it’s for
For a student who wants to walk into September already ahead — and confident.
What we do
We pre-teach the first units of next year’s math — the foundational skills they’ll build on all year — so the first lessons feel like review.
How It Works
The same method powers both tracks. I call it The September-Ready Method — one simple loop built around your student’s own school tests, used to review last year or pre-teach next year.
Assess
Using your student's own school tests & materials from this year.
Re-teach
The exact topics they missed — for real understanding.
Re-test
On their own tests, to prove the improvement.
Equip
Build a skill every student now needs — using AI as a study partner to study smarter on their own.
What to bring
Your student’s graded math tests from this school year (especially the lower-scoring ones), plus notes, worksheets, or the textbook. Those tests are exactly what we review, re-teach from, and re-test on — so progress is concrete and honest.
A new study skill
Using AI as a study partner is a skill every student now needs
Using AI well is now an essential study skill — and one I'll teach you. Drawing on my own extensive use of AI, I'll show your family how to turn it into a genuinely valuable study partner — one that makes your student's practice, review, and self-quizzing sharper and more independent.
Build their own practice problems
Spin up fresh practice on any topic, at the right level, with worked solutions to check their work against.
Work through tough concepts
Break a stuck idea down a different way, then explain it back — so it clicks and actually sticks.
Quiz themselves & ask questions
Turn notes into a self-quiz and ask questions any time, so studying keeps going between sessions.
What you can count on
A free first parent consultation
We talk through your student’s needs at no cost — no payment on this site, no commitment.
Honest expectations
I won’t promise a magic grade or score. I promise a clear plan, real understanding of the why, and measurable improvement on your student’s own material.
Easy, low-risk scheduling
Cancel or reschedule 24+ hours ahead at no charge. We meet at a public library near you, or online.
About Luke

In My Words
"Math has always been my favorite subject, and I understand it deeply — but what I enjoy just as much is explaining it to someone who's struggling and watching it finally click. I work really well with kids, and I teach math on a conceptual level, so they understand the why, not just the how."
Who I Help
1st grade through high school
- Elementary Math
- Pre-Algebra
- Algebra 1 & 2
- Geometry
- Pre-Calculus
- Calculus
If your student attends DC or another local school, I very likely know the curriculum, textbooks, and teachers — so I can both review what they did last year and pre-teach the foundational first units of next year’s math, building skills they’ll use all year.
Where We Meet — Online (or In Person)
Online via Zoom — with a shared whiteboard
Online is the simplest way to meet, and the option I recommend: we work together over Zoom on a shared digital whiteboard, so your student gets the same focused 1-on-1 help from home — no driving, and easier to schedule. With your consent, each online session can be recorded with an AI-written summary, so you and your student can look back anytime on exactly what we covered and what to practice. Prefer to meet in person? I'm in the King of Prussia area and I'll gladly come to a quiet public library near you.
Packages
These prices are shown just so you know what to expect — there’s no payment on this site and nothing to pay now. Same price, either track. Start with a free parent consultation; if it’s a fit, we’ll sort out a package (and payment) together afterward.

Flexible Sessions
Book as many 1-hour sessions as you like — no fixed package
Maximum flexibility: choose your own number of sessions and cadence. Priced per hour because I build a more custom curriculum around your schedule and your student's specific goals. Built around what you need most — the full assess → re-teach → re-test arc applies to multi-session plans.
What’s included in every package
- A first session built around your student's own graded school tests
- Re-teaching of the exact topics they missed — for real understanding
- A final re-test on their own material to prove the improvement
- Coaching on using AI as a study partner — the new study skill: build practice, work through concepts, and self-quiz independently
- Or get ahead instead: pre-teaching the first units of next year’s math — a strong foundation of skills they’ll use all year — so they start the year confident
- Subjects: elementary through high school math
Good to know
- Free first parent consultation: we talk through your student’s needs at no cost — you only commit to a package if it’s a fit.
- Cancellation: free if you cancel or reschedule 24+ hours ahead. Less than 24 hours’ notice (or a no-show) is charged the full session price.
- Where: Online over Zoom with a shared whiteboard (recorded with an AI recap, only with your consent) — or in person at a public library near you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to sign up?
Nothing — the first parent consultation is free, and there’s no payment on this site. If you decide to continue afterward, summer packages are $150 (4 sessions), $220 (6 sessions), and $275 (8 sessions), or flexible pay-as-you-go sessions at $40/hour, arranged with me directly.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel or reschedule 24+ hours ahead at no charge. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice (or no-shows) are charged the full session price, since the time is reserved for your student.
Are sessions online or in person?
Both — but online is the simplest option and the one I recommend: we meet over Zoom with a shared whiteboard, and with your consent each session can be recorded with an AI summary so you and your student can look back on exactly what we covered. Prefer in person? I'm based in King of Prussia and I'll drive to a public library near you — a free, neutral, parent-friendly spot.
What should my student bring?
Their graded math tests from this school year (especially lower-scoring ones), plus notes, worksheets, or the textbook. Those tests are exactly what we use to assess and to measure improvement.
What subjects do you cover?
Elementary through high school math — from basic arithmetic and number sense all the way through Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus.
Can you help my student get ahead for next year (not just catch up)?
Yes — that’s the second track. Beyond reviewing last year, I can pre-teach the first units of next year’s math — the foundational, most important lessons — so your student builds a strong foundation of skills they’ll use all year and walks into September already understanding the material and feeling confident.
How is this different from Mathnasium or Kumon?
Those centers are worksheet-based and usually run one helper to several kids at once. I’m truly 1-on-1, I teach the concept (not just drill), I’ve completed AP Calculus AB so I can take your student all the way through high-school math, and I know your school’s actual curriculum and teachers. No contracts — just a free parent consultation and a plan that fits.
How many sessions a week do you recommend?
About two per week over the summer — so a 4-session package runs across roughly two weeks, and the larger 6- and 8-session packages a bit longer. With flexible sessions you can set whatever pace fits your schedule. Either way, consistency beats cramming.
Free Initial Parent Consultation
Tell me a bit about your student and I’ll reply within 24–48 hours to set up a free initial parent consultation — no payment, no commitment.
