Who tutors where
Who tutors in person in Baltimore, and where?
In person tutoring in Baltimore runs through two open pockets: west Baltimore County with Sarah M., and the city around Charles Village with Olivia L., a math tutor on the team. Northern Baltimore County is Lily’s own area, and her own schedule is waitlist only. Online tutoring reaches every other neighborhood and town, with any tutor on the roster.
Online: every neighborhood in the city, every town in the county
Baltimore County
- West Baltimore County Sarah M., in person only. Geometry specialist. Middle school math through precalculus.

City Schools and BCPS
Two school systems, two calendars.
Baltimore City Public Schools and Baltimore County Public Schools start a week apart and publish separate calendars, so the right week to start tutoring depends on which side of the city line your student goes to school.
The useful time to begin is the first weeks of a grading period, while a quiz grade can still be rebuilt. A county student who starts in early November has all of the second marking period, which runs to January 15, to pull the average back up. In the spring the two calendars meet: the city’s spring break runs March 26 to April 2, and April 2 is also the day the county’s third marking period ends.

What it costs
What does tutoring in Baltimore cost?
Tutoring in Baltimore with Lily’s Tutoring Services starts at $75 an hour for middle school math and runs to $145 for AP calculus and digital SAT prep, and the rate is the same online or in person. Each tutor carries their own rate inside those bands, and you hear yours on the free consult before anything gets booked.
You pay session by session, with no long-term contract. Once a session is booked you get an invoice, and it’s paid in full before the session.
Give 8 or more hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule and you get a full refund. Inside 8 hours the refund depends on your tutor, because tutors are paid for the time they hold for you. Each student gets one free late cancellation per school year.

Free options first
Where can you find free tutoring in Baltimore?
Free tutoring in Baltimore is easiest to reach through the two library systems, each with a free online tutoring program, and both are worth a try before you pay anyone. A library card opens either one from home.
Enoch Pratt Free Library
HelpNow, powered by Brainfuse: one on one homework help, skills building and a 24 hour writing lab. It works in every Pratt Library location, or from home with your library card.
Baltimore County Public Library
Brainfuse homework help: chat online with a tutor 24 hours a day, with Spanish-speaking tutors available. Have your library card number and password ready.
When a private tutor makes sense
When the same gap shows up week after week, when a whole course is slipping, or when a test date is fixed. That calls for one tutor who knows the course and sees your student every week.
Use the free help first. Call us when the same gap keeps coming back.
What we cover
What Baltimore students bring to a session.
Your student brings the material from class, the worksheet, the essay prompt or the practice test, and the tutor brings the strategy that makes it click.
Grades 6 to college
Math
Pre-algebra through calculus and differential equations, honors and AP Statistics, IB Math and College Algebra. Math is the core of the roster, and the only subject with in person tutors in both the city and the county.
High school
Digital SAT prep
One on one SAT sessions aimed at optimizing your score, built around the sections your student misses on a practice test. New SAT students join a waitlist.
Online
Writing
Middle school paragraphs, high school essays, college papers and professional writing, worked through on the assignment your student already has.
Older teens and adults
Executive functioning
Our Hacking Your Potential track covers planning, time management and follow-through, for a student whose grades fall apart on organization more than on content.
Every tutor’s subjects and background are on the tutors in Maryland page.

"Lily is so very helpful to my son Jonathan, since she started tutoring him in calculus he has maintained an A average. He does not only help him academically, she also looks at his social skills and how he is doing in his other classes. She advises Jonathan and me and his mother on strategies that could benefit Jonathan in his education. I 100% recommend Lily as a tutor and mentor for students and a helper for parents."

How much does online tutoring cost in Baltimore?
Online tutoring in Baltimore with Lily’s Tutoring Services costs the same as in person, from $75 an hour for middle school math to $145 for AP calculus and digital SAT prep. The rate depends on the subject and the tutor, never on whether the session runs online.
Is $25 an hour a fair price for tutoring in Baltimore?
$25 an hour can be a fair price for tutoring in Baltimore when the tutor is a high school or college student helping with homework. A tutor Lily matches to your student’s exact course costs more, and sessions with us start at $75 an hour. When the budget decides it, free library tutoring is a sound place to begin.
Where can I find free tutoring in Baltimore City?
Free tutoring in Baltimore City is easiest to reach through the Enoch Pratt Free Library’s HelpNow service, which offers one on one homework help, skills building and a 24 hour writing lab through Brainfuse. You can use it at any Pratt Library location or from home with a library card. Your student’s own teacher is worth asking too, since many schools run help sessions of their own.
Do you tutor in person in Baltimore City?
In person tutoring in Baltimore City is available around Charles Village with Olivia L., a math tutor on our team. Everywhere else in the city, sessions run online with any tutor on the roster. Name your neighborhood on the free consult, and Lily will tell you whether in person sessions reach it.
Do you tutor in person in Baltimore County?
In person tutoring in Baltimore County is open in west Baltimore County with Sarah M., who works in person only, from middle school math through precalculus. Northern Baltimore County is Lily’s own area, though her own schedule is waitlist only. Elsewhere in the county, sessions run online with any tutor on the roster.
Is Lily taking new students?
Lily’s own schedule is waitlist only, and her team is taking new families. She still runs every free consult and makes every match herself, pairing your student with the tutor on the team who fits the class.
How quickly can we start?
After the consult call, most families have a first appointment within 7 to 10 days, depending on which tutor is free. If a test or the end of a marking period lands sooner, say so on the call and Lily will check whether the first session can come sooner.
Do you plan around the City Schools or Baltimore County calendar?
Tutoring in Baltimore can be planned around either school calendar, City Schools or Baltimore County Public Schools, when you bring the dates to the free consult. The two systems publish separate calendars, and County report cards go home about two weeks after each marking period ends. Name the school on the call, and the first sessions get booked while a grade can still move.
Do you tutor elementary students in Baltimore?
Elementary school math tutoring in Baltimore is available by request. A younger student gets matched one family at a time, and Lily will tell you right away whether the right tutor has room.
Is there tutoring in Baltimore for adults?
Adults in Baltimore can work with us on college math, College Algebra and Introductory Statistics, for college, graduate and professional writing from $100 an hour, and for our Hacking Your Potential executive functioning track, which is built for older teens and adults.
Do you tutor Baltimore college students?
College students in Baltimore can book help with College Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus I and II, differential equations and Introductory Statistics, whichever campus in the city or county the course runs on. College papers and graduate writing are covered too, from $100 an hour. Bring the syllabus and the last graded exam to the first session, and the tutor works from your professor’s own material.
How do I find a good tutor in Baltimore?
A good tutor in Baltimore knows your student’s exact course, shows up as the same person every week, and tells you the rate before the first hour. Ask for all three before you book anyone. With us, Lily names the tutor and the courses they cover on the free consult, and we find a different tutor from the roster if the fit turns out wrong.
