Woot Tutor is the premier online math tutoring solution for students in grades 5-9 throughout the US. Our tutoring solution has evolved from our decades of experience developing award-winning classroom technology. The online tutoring sessions, highly trained math teachers, and a guided study program make it possible for children to gain the confidence and academic skills they need to pursue their dreams.

Woot Math addresses arguably the single biggest pain point in education - making all students algebra-ready. The areas that keep students from succeeding in math are finite and well understood. Woot Math addresses these areas with a platform that takes the best instructional content and adaptively tailors that content to meet each student's personal needs. Woot Math doesn’t seek to replace the teacher, but to provide tools that make teachers more effective in reaching more students.
