Cuemath

Middle school is where a kid either keeps up with pre-algebra or quietly stops understanding maths. Cuemath sells exactly that: live 1-on-1, US Common Core-aligned, with the tutor adapting to what the child covers in school that week, at a published $20/class for grades 6-7 on the 12-month plan (55-minute classes, about $21.82/hr). Cuemath's grade-6 page lists the actual transition topics: introduction to algebra via patterns, order of operations with exponents, operations on integers and rationals, and coordinate geometry. Cuemath publishes pricing on the site with no lead form, and Cuemath offers a free trial.

Sorted by price per hour, cheapest first. Sessions run from 22 to 120 minutes, so the hourly figure is the only like-for-like comparison.

One real limitation

It is not available to younger children and is not taught by professional teachers: the terms require "You confirm that you are 13 years of age or older" and tutors are unpaid student volunteers — "Our tutors are high school students just like you" — certified only by passing Khan Academy unit tests. Series are also tutor-dependent and can vanish; one observed math series shows "cancelled by the tutor".

One real limitation

Curriculum detail is published only for the entry tier: the maths course page lists Grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12 as categories but expands topic detail for Kindergarten-Grade 2 only. The $22/class figure is also a published floor rather than a fixed rate, and no total course price appears anywhere — courses run as multi-session programmes, so the full commitment is obtainable only by booking a demo.

The advertised $15/class floor is only available on the 12-month commitment (104 classes, billed as a "$1560 coaching fee, billed every 52 weeks"); the 6-month plan raises the same tier to $17/class and adds a "$90 platform fee per billing cycle" that the 12-month plan waives.

The heavily advertised "$17.70/lesson" headline — used in page titles across their whole site — is not a general rate: the pricing page shows it requires the 12-month plan AND states "All prices apply to packages of 2 lessons per week". A 1-month term costs $21.90/lesson, roughly 24% more.

The "7 days free" trial is not card-free: their own free-trial page states "Billing details are required to activate the trial, but no charge occurs unless you continue past Day 7", and billing begins automatically on day 8 unless the parent cancels first.

Sessions are only "50 to 55 minutes of teaching time", and prepaid packs expire on a fixed clock — the 10-session pack must be used within 3 months and the 50-session pack within 6 months, so unused sessions are forfeited.

The advertised $56 is the bottom of a $56–$99 per-session band, and Learner's own site says rates “vary based on the tutor's experience and level of education, as well as the tutoring package” — so the figure you are quoted may be nearly double. The trial is not free either: it costs $25.

K12 Tutoring does not serve grades K-3 at all — their about page states coverage of "grades 4-12", so families of kindergarten through third-grade children cannot use it.

There is no low-cost group option for math: their only group product is test prep ("up to 10 students ... Grades 9-12 ... starting at $499"), so every math subject from elementary through AP Calculus is sold exclusively as 1-on-1 packages with a 12-hour minimum entry buy of $948.

One real limitation

ClassDojo's own site quotes two different prices for the same product — “Starting at $17” on the Dojo Tutor page and “as low as $30 for ongoing sessions” on every subject page — and attaches a duration to neither, while stating classes are “25 or 55 minutes”. The $5 trial is 25 minutes. Until they reconcile that, the real hourly cost cannot be established before you book.

RSM Online stops at 10th grade: "RSM Online is open to students in grades 2 - 10" — 11th and 12th graders cannot enrol online, and the full high school course list including Calculus AB/BC belongs to the in-person branch programme, not the online one.

We verified pricing, trial availability and session length directly from each provider's own pages in September 2026, and re-check quarterly. Prices are normalized to an hourly rate using the provider's own stated session length; where a provider does not publish pricing, we say so rather than estimating.
