A dropped grade. A low SAT score. A rejection letter. Don't let math be the reason your student falls short.
1-on-1 online tutoring from a Brown-educated engineer with 12+ years of results.
A single semester GPA drop can affect class rank, scholarship eligibility, and college admissions chances. On the SAT, the difference between a 600 and a 700 on the math section can separate your student from their target school. The students who close that gap fastest aren't necessarily smarter — they have better support.
A strong math grade protects your student's GPA, class rank, and eligibility for honors programs and scholarships.
Top colleges scrutinize math performance specifically — it signals readiness for rigorous coursework.
The math section is the most coachable part of the SAT. Students who prep with a tutor consistently outperform those who go it alone.
Middle school is where confidence in math is built — or lost. I help students strengthen their foundation, learn to think critically, and prepare for high school-level math. Sessions are engaging, low-pressure, and tailored to the student's pace.
High school math can feel like a whirlwind. Whether it's Algebra I, Geometry, or AP Precalc, I break down concepts into digestible steps, explain the "why" behind the "how," and help students succeed in class and on exams.
Test prep doesn't have to be stressful — but it does need a plan. I help students develop strategies for every question type, strengthen core skills, and prepare with purpose.
All sessions are 60 minutes, held online via Zoom or Google Meet. Not sure which package is right for your student? Book a free intro call first — we'll figure it out together.
Best for students who want to try a session before committing, need help with a specific concept or upcoming exam, or have a one-time question they can't crack.
The most popular option for students working toward a consistent goal — improving a course grade, building foundational skills, or beginning SAT/ACT prep. Ten sessions gives us enough time to identify gaps, build a plan, and see real progress.
The best value for students who need sustained support — full-year math help, comprehensive SAT/ACT prep, or working through multiple courses. Twenty sessions is where the biggest grade and confidence transformations happen.
"Pete has been a true blessing. My son loves working with him — he explains algebra in a way that makes sense, and his grades went from the 70s to the 90s. My son looks forward to their weekly sessions every week. If you need a math tutor, I would highly recommend Pete."
"We feel very fortunate to have found Pete to tutor our 9th-grade son in Advanced Algebra. He has been incredibly flexible with scheduling around our son's busy work and sports commitments. Our son says Pete explains concepts in a way that makes them much easier to understand — and guides him through the problem-solving process step by step. As a graduate of Brown University and a former lacrosse player, he connects well with our son. We highly recommend Pete as a tutor."
"Pete helped me do well in college-level statistics. He has a great system for drawing out concepts clearly and is exceptional at explaining things in a way that really sticks."
"Pete was a huge help during my college stats class. He explained everything in a way that actually made sense and was always patient and encouraging. I felt way more confident going into exams and ended up doing really well. Highly recommend!"
"We had an amazing experience with Pete for SAT prep. My daughter not only improved her score significantly, but also became much more confident and less anxious going into the test. Pete is patient, helpful, thorough — and funny! Highly recommend for anyone looking for thoughtful and effective SAT preparation."
Hi, I'm Pete Vivonetto — a structural engineer, math tutor, and former Division I lacrosse captain at Brown University. I've spent over 12 years helping middle school, high school, and college students build real understanding in math — not just memorize formulas.
The same preparation, focus, and encouragement I brought to my teammates are the qualities I bring to every student I work with. My goal is always the same: help students actually get it, so they can solve problems on their own.
All sessions are held online via live video call — flexible, convenient, and effective.
"Pete is reliable, professional, and an excellent role model. He guides students through the problem-solving process step by step — helping them arrive at answers independently rather than just giving them the answers."
