Why Expat Families Choose Hoffman Tutoring Group
US-Certified Educator Familiar with Transitions
I hold teaching certifications in Idaho, Texas, and South Carolina. I understand both US state standards and the unique challenges expat families face when navigating different educational systems.
Common Core & US Standards Alignment
Every tutoring session is designed to align with Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for mathematics, ensuring your child stays on track with what US schools expect at each grade level.
Completely personalized lesson plans
Your child has unique goals, strengths, and needs. I plan our tutoring sessions to meet the student where they’re at and teach in a way that works for them. Each week I approach lesson planning with the common core standards in mind, but vary instruction based on what will work best for each individual child.
Math Confidence for Transitioning Students
Moving between countries and school systems can create math anxiety and gaps in learning. I specialize in building confidence while filling knowledge gaps, ensuring your child feels prepared and capable when they return to US schools.
Common Challenges for Expat Families (And How I Help)
Challenge: Different Math Teaching Methods Abroad
Solution: Many countries teach math differently than the US. I help students build both conceptual understanding (emphasized in Common Core) and procedural fluency, preparing them for the US approach to mathematics.
Challenge: Curriculum Gaps Between Systems
Solution: International schools may cover topics in different orders or skip certain US-specific content. I identify gaps and fill them systematically, ensuring no critical concepts are missed.
Challenge: A Need For Additional Practice
Solution: Some expat families desire additional math practice outside of school and tutoring. I happily provide additional assignments, tools, and resources when they are requested by the family or student.
Challenge: Maintaining English Math Vocabulary
Solution: For families in non-English speaking countries, I ensure students maintain and develop proper mathematical terminology in English, critical for standardized tests and classroom participation.

Frequently Asked Questions for Expat Families
Can you help if my child is homeschooled abroad?
Absolutely! Many expat families homeschool while overseas. I can either supplement your existing curriculum or provide the complete math portion of your homeschool program, aligned with US standards.
What time zones do you work with?
I work with families globally. My availability in your time zone will depend on your location and the times you’re free. Each semester I work with a set schedule. Reach out to see if our schedules line up and what spots I currently have available!
How does online tutoring work across different countries?
We meet via Zoom, which works anywhere with reliable internet. Students can share their screen, use digital whiteboards, and work through problems interactively. Most expat families find online tutoring even more effective than in-person options available locally.
What grades do you tutor?
I work with students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, plus Algebra 1 (typically 9th grade in the US).
What if we're not sure when we're returning to the US?
That's okay! Staying aligned with US standards is valuable regardless of your return timeline. It keeps options open and ensures your child doesn't fall behind in math fundamentals.
Can you work with multiple children in one family?
Yes! I work with siblings all the time. Typically families will have siblings attend tutoring sessions back-to-back.
About Hoffman Tutoring Group
I'm Zoie Hoffman, a US-certified math educator with over a decade of experience helping K-8 students build math confidence and understanding. I hold a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a Graduate Certificate in Mathematical Thinking for Instruction from Boise State University.
As someone who struggled with math anxiety growing up, I understand how overwhelming transitions between school systems can feel for both students and parents. I've worked extensively with expat families, military families, and students in various educational settings worldwide.
My approach focuses on conceptual understanding (the "why" behind the math) combined with procedural fluency (the "how"), which aligns perfectly with Common Core State Standards and modern US math instruction. I help students develop genuine mathematical thinking skills that serve them throughout their education, regardless of where in the world they're learning.
