ClassArc is live one-to-one online maths tutoring for school-age children. One teacher and one child, for 55 minutes. The same teacher every week. Classes run inside our own classroom software, not a video call: a shared worksheet you both write on, a shared whiteboard, and answers that sync live.

How a class works · About ClassArc · Pricing

Common Core rewards understanding,
so that is what we teach

Common Core asks students to explain why a method works, not only to produce an answer. That is why homework often looks unfamiliar to parents who learned differently — the standards deliberately ask for models, number lines and written reasoning.

It is also why memorising steps stops working around grade 4. A student who can only follow a procedure hits a wall when the question asks them to justify it.

K–12

Kindergarten through grade 12, taught to the Common Core standards your child's school actually follows.

Affordable tutoring that
doesn't stop in February

Math builds on itself, so the tutoring that changes a grade is the tutoring that lasts a full year. A discount in the first month matters far less than a price a family can still absorb in the spring.

Affordable does not mean a smaller class: it is the full 55 minutes, one-on-one, with the same teacher, taught in the method your child's school is using.

No joining fee, no materials fee, and any unused class balance is refunded if you stop.

$13.50

per 55-minute, one-to-one class. The first class is free and no card is required.

Three things that actually help.

i

Find the gap
underneath.

A grade 7 student stuck on ratios usually has a grade 5 fractions gap. The first class looks for it rather than starting the current chapter.

ii

The school's method,
not a rival one.

We teach the approach your child's class uses, so they are not holding two conflicting methods at once.

iii

Reasoning first,
shortcut second.

Common Core asks for justification. A child who can explain the method can also, eventually, skip it safely.

Fifty-five minutes,
spent on the reasoning

Common Core asks students to justify a method, so classes are built around explaining rather than answering quickly.

“

You cannot assess a child's reasoning from a finished answer. You have to watch it being built.

Why the classroom matters
i
🗣️

Explain last week

Your child talks the teacher through a problem from last time. How they explain it shows what they actually understood.

ii
✏️

Build the model together

Number lines, area models, whatever the school is using — drawn on the shared sheet by both of them, not shown on a slide.

iii
📐

Justify it alone

A problem attempted unaided, with the working written out, because the standards ask for the why and not only the what.

iv
📄

Homework in the same method

Set in the approach the school uses, so your child is never holding two conflicting methods at once.

Common Core domains, kindergarten to grade 12

We follow the standards by grade, and we teach the domain your child's class is on now.

Our own classroom,
not a video call

Most online tutoring is a video call with a shared PDF or a Google Doc. ClassArc built its own classroom instead, because Common Core math is about showing thinking, and thinking is hard to show over a webcam.

The two of them build the model on one shared sheet — number line, area model, whatever the school is using — rather than one person describing it while the other watches.

Your child joins from a browser, with nothing to install and no link to find.

“

Common Core asks a child to justify their method. You cannot assess a justification you never saw being formed.

Why we built our own

What actually happens
in the free first class

The first class is free, lasts the full 55 minutes, and is a real lesson rather than a sales call. No card is required.

The teacher spends it listening to your child explain their thinking, because under the Common Core standards that is where the trouble usually shows first. A grade 7 student who cannot justify a ratio step is often missing something from grade 5 fractions, and that is what the class goes looking for.

You will finish it having watched the teacher explain a method and having seen whether your child engaged with it. Knowing the standards matters, and so does whether a child feels able to say they do not follow. If the fit is wrong, we will arrange a second free class with a different teacher.

“

We spend the first class listening to your child reason out loud. That is where the gap is audible.

What the free class is for

Six things that are
true of every class.

These are the decisions behind how ClassArc runs, and they apply to every student on the platform.

One-on-one, always

Never a group and never an app queue. Your child has the full fifty-five minutes, which is what it takes to find the grade 5 gap under a grade 7 problem.

The same teacher every week

Not a rotating tutor from a marketplace. One person who remembers exactly which standard caused trouble in September.

Live teaching, not a video course

Real lessons at a set time rather than a self-paced library. A video cannot hear a child explain their reasoning and spot where it goes wrong.

A classroom built for models

Number lines and area models get drawn on a shared sheet by both of them. The teacher watches the model being built, which is what the standards actually assess.

Your school's method

We ask what your child's class is covering and teach the approach they are being shown, so nobody is holding two conflicting methods at once.

Affordable all year

From $13.50 a class, no joining fee, no materials fee, and a refund on any unused balance if you stop.

How much does Common Core math tutoring cost?
Online math tutoring generally runs $15 to $45 an hour, with private in-person tutors higher. ClassArc starts at $13.50 a class on the Committed plan and $16.50 on Starter, for 55-minute one-on-one lessons with the same teacher each time.
My child's homework looks nothing like the math I learned. Can you help?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons families contact us. Common Core teaches models, number lines and written reasoning that were not taught the same way a generation ago. Our teachers teach the method the school is using, so your child is not learning two conflicting approaches at once.
Do you follow my child's specific school curriculum?
We follow the Common Core standards for the grade, and we ask what your child's class is currently covering so the tutoring runs alongside school rather than in parallel to it.
Do you use Zoom?
No. ClassArc built its own classroom platform. Teacher and student share an interactive worksheet they both write on, a shared whiteboard, and live-syncing answers. Your child joins from any browser. No download, and no meeting link to find.
Will my child have the same tutor every session?
Yes. The same teacher every class is deliberate. It means no re-explaining at the start of each session and a teacher who remembers exactly which standard caused trouble last month.
What time are classes for US families?
Our teachers are in India and we already teach families on Eastern, Central and Pacific time. Class times display in your local time and WhatsApp reminders arrive in your time, 24 hours and 1 hour before each class.
Is the first class really free?
Yes, no card required. It is a real 55-minute class in the real classroom, used to find where your child actually is rather than to sell you anything.
Is online math tutoring worth it?
It is worth it when the problem is a specific gap rather than general effort. A grade 7 student stuck on ratios usually has a grade 5 fractions gap underneath, and one-to-one time finds it in a way a class of thirty cannot.
How do I find a good math tutor for my child?
Look for the same tutor every week rather than a rotating marketplace, a first class spent diagnosing rather than selling, and a teacher your child will actually talk to. Our first class is free specifically so you can judge those three things before paying.
Can tutoring help with state tests and the SAT?
Yes, built on top of the standards rather than taught as a separate course. Test technique matters, but a student who understands the mathematics needs far less of it.
Who is ClassArc not the right fit for?
Families who want group classes at a lower price per student, an app that answers homework questions on demand, a different tutor each session from a marketplace, or a self-paced video course with no live teaching. We are also not the right choice for test-prep drilling alone — we work on the standards underneath, which takes longer and holds better.
