Tell us your kid's grade, subject and town. We'll match you with an independent GOkidOZ-vetted tutor for in-home or online lessons — usually within a day.
GOkidOZ's tutor directory lists vetted academic tutors across Greater Boston covering math, reading, writing, science, SAT/ACT prep, foreign languages, and executive function. Browse by subject, grade level and town. Many tutors serve Newton, Wellesley, Natick, Needham, Dedham, Cambridge, Brookline and surrounding areas, with both in-person and online options.
Boston-area tutors available on GOkidOZ cover: math (elementary through calculus, SAT), reading and literacy (dyslexia specialists, Orton-Gillingham), writing, science (chemistry, biology, physics), Spanish/French/Mandarin, test prep (SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT), executive function and ADHD coaching, and early childhood learning.
GOkidOZ lists 98 tutors and centers covering math across Greater Boston, including 7 in Newton and 8 in Wellesley — from franchise learning centers like Mathnasium and Russian School of Mathematics to independent tutors charging $50–90/hr. Use the town filter plus the Math subject filter to see every option side by side, with ratings and direct contact links.
Independent tutors in Greater Boston generally run about $50–100 per hour, with college-student tutors at the lower end and specialists (SAT prep, dyslexia remediation, advanced math) at the higher end. Learning centers usually sell packages or monthly memberships instead of hourly rates, often $200–400 per month. Every listing on this page shows its price band, and many offer a free assessment or trial session.
68 of the listings on this page cover test prep. Filter by Test Prep to see them all — the mix includes national names, local one-on-one specialists, and small-group courses. If you are targeting private-school admissions, look specifically for ISEE and SSAT experience in each listing’s description; many test-prep tutors also work over Zoom, so you are not limited to your own town.
Both. 23 of the listings on this page teach online only, and many in-person tutors also offer virtual sessions — use the Format filter to switch between in-person, online and hybrid. Online widens your choice considerably if you live outside the Newton–Wellesley–Needham corridor where most centers cluster.
Yes — 15 listings specialize in learning differences and 5 more in broader special-needs support, including Orton-Gillingham-trained reading specialists and executive-function coaches who work on planning, organization and homework routines rather than one subject. Filter by Learning Differences or Special Needs to see them.
74 listings cover reading and writing. For early readers, look for structured-literacy or Orton-Gillingham training in the description; for older kids, look for writing and comprehension coaching. Start with a free assessment where one is offered — it tells you whether your child needs targeted phonics work or general homework support, which are very different services.
Framingham has 11 listings, Wellesley 8, Boston 8, Newton 7, Needham 6, and Natick 5, plus 23 online-only tutors available anywhere. Because tutors travel and many teach on Zoom, the town filter also surfaces nearby options — a Newton family often has 25 or more realistic choices within a 15-minute drive.
