Russian Math Tutors: Online and In-Person Math Coaching

Russian Math Tutors (RMT) provides mathematics instruction for students from kindergarten through grade 12, combining online tutoring with a newly opened in-person center in South San Jose. The company describes its approach as blending the flexibility of online tutoring with a structured curriculum adapted to US and European standards. Its flagship program, Build Your Own Math (BYOM), received the Russian Presidential Medal in 2000, and the company states that nearly 1.4 million students have studied under this program.

Instructional Formats and Class Sizes

RMT offers three main formats. One-on-one live whiteboard sessions allow students to work directly with a tutor in real time. Semi-private group classes are kept small, typically with two to four students, which the company says allows for personal attention and additional instructional help. Students can also choose from a roster of professional tutors trained in the Russian Math method, some of whom studied under the same program themselves. A free trial session with up to two tutors is available for online math tutoring.

Subjects and Competition Preparation

The tutoring covers more than 100 subjects, according to the company, including all major math and science competitions. Specific competition preparation listed includes Kangaroo, MOEMS, AMC 8, AMC 10, AMC 12, AIME, USAMO, USAJMO, and IMO. The most popular programs shown on the site are Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Pre-Algebra, and Geometry, each with a stated number of teachers: 97 for Algebra 1, 90 for Algebra 2, 86 for Pre-Algebra, and 81 for Geometry. Group classes also cover all levels of Russian Math, science, and computer programming.

Curriculum and Learning Resources

The BYOM program is designed to help students derive formulas rather than memorize them. RMT provides free workbooks for kindergarten through grade 6, Algebra 1 and 2, and a Formula-1 Racing Book that applies mathematical problem-solving to racing scenarios. The company also runs a summer camp and maintains a blog, video resources, course syllabi, and a forum.

In July 2026, RMT announced the opening of its first in-person learning center, located at 175 Bernal Rd. Suite 100-22 in San Jose, California. The center offers in-person K–12 math classes. This address also serves as the company's contact address, and the phone number +1 (888) 519-5929 and email info@russianmathtutors.com are listed for contact.
