I coach young people in other fields like public speaking so I have some skill in it. I use similar techniques. The private tutors they've tried are actually math teachers. I think teaching a class is a very different skillset than tutoring. According to my brother he came to the realization that an hour studying with me makes up for multiple hours with the tutors. I'm stubborn and authoritative when I coach, I challenge them and it takes me a lot of effort to butt heads with a teen, but I think they see the results. Math is tough in that you don't get to enjoy it until mechanical concerns become an afterthought. So when my youngest sister, who initially didn't enjoy math, said "wow that felt good" about solving a problem I knew I was going somewhere.
