A clear, structured journey from Elementary Math through Trigonometry in about 30 months, (not 5 to 8 years). Group classes are the strongest value and the fastest path for most students. Explaining ideas to peers strengthens understanding, builds confidence, and helps learning stick.
Accelerated Pace: A clear sequence from foundations to higher math without skipping the “why.”
Deep Understanding: Most courses run 10 to12 weeks, meeting twice per week for 75 to 90 minutes.
Empathy-First: We build confidence and resilience so students can stay with hard problems.
Community Focused: Students explain, listen, and collaborate growth over competition.
Need something custom? Schools, districts, libraries, and nonprofits can request a tailored program.
Request a Custom ProgramShare your goals, group size, timeline, and constraints. We’ll respond with options.
Group classes are intentionally priced to be the most accessible option. If your student can join a cohort, it’s usually the best combination of cost + growth.
Our most affordable option per student. Seminar-style flow with guided practice and clear routines. Assistants may be added as needed.
For in-person classes, travel fees may apply. Any rented classroom space is split among participants.
A balanced size for strong interaction and consistent structure. Enough attention to coach students, enough peers to build voice and accountability.
For in-person classes, travel fees may apply. Any rented classroom space is split among participants.
Collaboration with more personal attention. Students grow faster by explaining steps, listening to peers, and getting coached in real time.
For in-person classes, travel fees may apply. Any rented classroom space is split among participants.
Sessions are intentionally designed around the student. Students get help with class assignments, preparing for tests, & design the Course to include concepts they are actively/currently learning.
In-person travel: 0–10 miles free. Longer distances may include a travel surcharge.
We start with a simple 15-minute online meeting. We’ll talk through your goals, answer questions, and walk through logistics so you can decide whether this feels like the right fit.

Educator Professional Development
A practical, classroom-tested training on how to read the emotional climate, de-escalate tension early, and build norms where students feel safe enough to try and still know you mean what you say.
You’ll leave with usable tools: language scripts, routines, and a simple accountability framework that keeps dignity intact (for students and teachers).
This is a paid workshop; proceeds support our mission and help fund free programs when available.
This is a 2-hour workshop priced per attendee.
We’ll follow up to confirm availability, group size, and logistics.

Family Support
A clear, practical session for parents who want to support learning without turning home into a battleground. We cover routines, communication, and what “productive struggle” looks like—so you can help without rescuing.
We also walk through academic pathways (elementary → middle school → high school requirements) so you can make decisions with less stress and more clarity.
Transparency: This session is donation-based. Nobody is turned away for lack of funds.
If you’re ready to commit, the full course pack (20 sessions) gives the lowest effective per-session price.

Your price is based on the format you choose (large group, medium group, small group, or 1-on-1) not the difficulty of the math. If your student stays in the same format, the per-session price stays consistent as they move through the curriculum.
We may update rates over time due to inflation and operating costs, but we don’t raise prices just because the math is “higher.” The only time your cost changes during a student’s journey is if you choose a different format.
Transparency note: if rates ever change, we’ll communicate it clearly in advance.
No pressure. We start with two short conversations (parents + student) to confirm fit and alignment. If it’s a fit, you’ll complete a thorough registration form so we can place your student responsibly.
Founding Enrollment Support
Complete Steps 1–2 (free parent + student conversations). If it’s a fit, you’ll receive a private code to apply when enrolling in Course 1.
Available through January 31, 2026. Enrollment support applies to Course 1 only. Students may qualify for early continuation support when enrolling early in the next course.
A brief online meeting to discuss goals, logistics, and answer any initial questions you may have.
The student meets the instructor online to work on a few problems, and talk honestly about how math makes them feel or what's the student's struggle. This helps everyone confirm fit.
If everyone feels confident moving forward, you’ll complete a registration form so we can build the student’s profile and learning plan.
This form is intentionally thorough. Honest answers help us place your student well and support them responsibly.
After registration, we recommend the right starting course using a short placement check, then finalize your class schedule.
You’ll enroll in Course 1 only. If you qualified during Steps 1–2, you’ll apply your private code at checkout. You’ll also review materials and sign the agreement to confirm expectations.
Once payment and the agreement are complete, your student’s spot is officially confirmed.
We’ll never pressure you to commit. Our job is to be clear, transparent, and honest so you can decide what’s best for your child.
We schedule around your student’s availability—not the other way around. These are the windows when classes typically run.
3:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Most schools dismiss around 2:30 PM. Classes are typically scheduled during this window based on student and group availability.
8:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Ideal for focused morning sessions and families with weekday conflicts.
8:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Reserved for small groups, 1-on-1 support, or special placements.
Don’t see a window that works? Share your preferred days and times during registration and we’ll do our best to accommodate, including matching students with similar availability for group classes.
This is what growth looks like in practice: students explaining their thinking, staying with uncertainty, supporting one another, and slowly realizing they’re capable of more than they thought.
