Fractions & pre-algebra help for middle schoolers

Middle school math is where the foundation gets poured — fractions, decimals, percents, ratios, negative numbers, order of operations. If any of these stay shaky, algebra next year becomes a wall. And this is exactly the age where a kid will copy an answer rather than admit they're lost.

This tutor is patient in a way that matters at this age: it never makes a student feel dumb, it shrinks the steps until they're doable, and it celebrates the real wins. Parents: the tutor is free, so sit next to them tonight and watch how it works.

The tutoring is free — no account, no card. Create a free account and the tutor remembers you between sessions.

What we can work on together

What a session looks like

Paste in 3/4 + 2/3. The tutor won't say "17/12." It'll ask: can we add these as they are? Why not? What denominator would work for both? Each hint is one small step, and the student does the actual adding. At the end, the full solution — common denominator, conversion, sum, simplification — is laid out to study.

That's the house rule: the tutor never just gives the answer. It teaches — one hint at a time — because that's the only version of "help" that shows up on test day.
