As empathetic educators,

We believe that math and algebra shouldn't be something you're forced to endure. We want to change the math and algebra narrative and convert those negatives into positives.

WHAT PARENTS SAY

"I am telling you: If *my* rising 8th grader can do well in math after working with an Alexander Math tutor, anyone will. She worked with Gerald all summer, which she was less than delighted to hear when we told her about it, but she quickly stopped complaining after they started their work together. Last night she told us that she'd like to KEEP working with him once school starts so she doesn't fall behind. What? Thank you Gerald and Sean for giving her the confidence to go back to school this week feeling confident."
