Signs Your 2nd Grader Needs Extra Math Support
- Adds 47 + 38 and writes 715.
- Subtracts the smaller digit from the bigger one, so 52 − 17 becomes 45.
- Isn't sure whether a word problem means add or subtract — or stops after the first step.
- Counts coins one by one and loses track when pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters are mixed.
- Can read o'clock and half past, but gets stuck telling time to 5 minutes.
These are common in 2nd grade — and the right support can make a real difference.
How We Help Your 2nd Grader
2nd grade is when numbers get bigger: regrouping, three-digit numbers and two-step word problems all show up in the same year.
Master it before moving on
Because every class is 1:1, the tutor doesn't move to three-digit numbers until regrouping within 100 really clicks.
Interactive lessons
On-screen base-ten blocks, coins and clocks make regrouping, money and time something your child does, not just watches.
Tutors with a math or education background
Every tutor teaches live and 1-on-1.
Help with school homework
Your child can bring 2nd grade homework questions to class, and the tutor helps them work through those questions step by step.

2nd Grade Math FAQ
What will my 2nd grader work on with a TomoRise tutor?
A TomoRise 2nd grade math tutor helps with addition and subtraction within 100 and 1,000, regrouping, place value, money, time, measurement and word problems, following the 2nd grade Common Core State Standards, in live 45-minute 1-on-1 lessons.
How do I know if my 2nd grader needs math help?
Common signs are mistakes with regrouping (carrying and borrowing), like writing 715 for 47 + 38, not knowing whether to add or subtract in a word problem, losing track when counting mixed coins, or getting stuck telling time to 5 minutes. A free TomoRise demo lesson helps you see where your child stands.
Why is regrouping so hard in 2nd grade?
Regrouping is hard because it only makes sense once your child sees that 10 ones make a ten and 10 tens make a hundred, so a TomoRise tutor teaches the meaning before the steps. With base-ten blocks on screen, your child trades 10 ones for a ten before writing a single carried digit, so the method isn't just a rule to memorize.
How many lessons a week does a 2nd grader need?
Families can choose 1, 2 or 3 TomoRise lessons a week. After the free demo lesson, the tutor recommends how many lessons a week fit your child's level and goals.
Is a 45-minute online class OK for a 2nd grader?
Yes — TomoRise lessons for 2nd graders are built for young kids, with short on-screen activities your child clicks through with the tutor, all live and 1-on-1. For the first few lessons, it helps to have a parent nearby to get your child set up.
My 2nd grader is already ahead in math — can TomoRise help?
Yes — TomoRise tutors can pick up the pace and add challenge, and if your child is ready, we'll move them up to 3rd grade math lessons.
Can a TomoRise tutor help with 2nd grade math homework?
Yes — your child can bring questions from 2nd grade math homework to the lesson, and the TomoRise tutor will help them work through them step by step.
