The opportunity to sit and talk to a private tutor is so valuable. Particularly for learners who are shy in class because they’re scared of getting it wrong. Their confidence has improved massively. It’s great this is happening now as by the time they get a bit older it’s almost too late.

Benefits of 4th Grade Math Tutoring


Starting math tutoring in fourth grade has a greater impact on learners than leaving it until middle school or high school.


A 4th grade math tutoring program helps accelerate progress and students’ understanding of math topics before the achievement gap widens in later school years.

Frequently asked questions

How do you tutor a 4th grader in math?

When tutoring a 4th grader in math, focus on building their understanding of multiplication and division, fractions including improper fractions, and basic geometry including measurement conversions. Encourage problem-solving and reasoning skills by working through word problems together.

What math level should a 4th grader be at?

By the end of 4th grade, students should be proficient in basic arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), have a good understanding of fractions and decimals, and be able to solve multi-step word problems. Ahead of 5th grade math, 4th grade students should also be introduced to factors, multiples, and basic geometry concepts.

What are the math lessons for Grade 4?

Grade 4 math lessons cover advanced addition and subtraction, multiplication and division of multi-digit numbers, fractions and decimals, and basic concepts of geometry including the properties of shapes. Students also learn about factors and multiples, explore measurement and data interpretation through graphs and charts and lay a foundational understanding of more complex math concepts in elementary education.
