See What People Are Saying About Our Tutors

Real feedback from families who've seen their students grow in confidence and understanding.

“My daughter struggles with Algebra, but her tutor Michael at MathMinded was incredibly patient with her. He met her where she was and made sure she truly understood each concept before moving on. I was really impressed by how well he communicated and helped her work through her homework.”

“My son Nicholas was very upset about attending a math class over the summer, but after the first session with Michael he came home with enthusiasm and excitement. I don't know how he does it, but Michael has a way of grabbing Nicholas's attention and showing him that math can actually be fun. He has begun to regain his confidence and now looks forward to every session.”

Test Prep

SAT or ACT? We'll help you decide.

We know both tests cold — and we'll guide your student to the one that plays to their strengths.

Digital SAT Math

The adaptive SAT rewards students who can think on their feet. We break down every question type, teach Desmos shortcuts that save minutes, and drill the pacing strategies that turn a good score into a great one.

  • Full test breakdown by module and topic
  • Desmos mastery — built-in and unbeatable when you know the tricks
  • TI-84 EVO mastery — the all-new graphing calculator and how to use every feature
  • Timed practice with real pacing targets
  • 1.5-hour sessions • $130/hr ($195/session)

Enhanced ACT Math

The ACT crams more geometry, more questions, and a faster pace into one marathon section. We focus on time management, calculator efficiency, and the specific content areas where the ACT goes deeper than the SAT.

  • Full test breakdown by section and skill
  • TI-84 EVO mastery — the all-new graphing calculator and how to use every feature
  • Geometry-heavy prep (35-45% of math section)
  • 1.5-hour sessions • $130/hr ($195/session)

The MathMinded Advantage

We don't just hand your student a prep book. After 20+ years, we know how each test is built — the answers designed to trick you, the questions that eat up the clock, and the shortcuts that actually save time. Whether it's the SAT's adaptive modules or the ACT's heavy geometry focus, your student gets all of that experience in every session.

Test prep starts long before test day. From Algebra 1 through Algebra 2/Trig, we weave SAT and ACT-style thinking into regular sessions — so by the time testing season arrives, your student already knows what to expect and which test feels like home.

Every student is different. Let's find the best test strategy for your student.

Summer Math Bootcamp

A focused program to strengthen core skills, close gaps from the school year, and walk into fall feeling prepared, not panicked.

Two-Week Intensive • 4 Days/Week
3 In-Person 1 Remote
W1

Foundations & Fluency

  • Diagnostic warm-up to pinpoint exactly where gaps are
  • Factoring, rational functions, radicals & exponents, the backbone skills that trip up most students
  • Solving equations by hand: substitution, elimination, quadratic formula, no calculator crutch
  • Mental math drills: speed, accuracy, and number sense
W2

Advanced Topics & Test Readiness

  • Equations of lines, quadratics, systems, connecting the dots between topics
  • Trigonometry: SOHCAHTOA, unit circle, identities, demystified
  • Calculator mastery: TI-84 EVO, Desmos shortcuts, and when NOT to use one
  • Mixed review + mini challenge exam, walk away knowing exactly where you stand

Why This Matters

This is especially important if your school doesn't allow calculators and everything must be done by hand, we'll make sure the mental math and pencil-and-paper skills are rock solid. But even for calculator-friendly classrooms, knowing the why behind every step is what separates confident students from those just pressing buttons.

Comprehensive Math Skills & Test Prep

From foundational concepts to advanced problem-solving strategies

Core Math Concepts

1 Methods of Factoring

Master all factoring techniques: GCF, grouping, trinomials, difference of squares, and sum/difference of cubes

2 Rational Functions, Radicals & Exponents

Simplify, solve, and graph rational expressions. Master exponent rules and radical operations

3 Solving Algebraic Equations

Multiple methods for solving equations: substitution, elimination, graphing, and quadratic formula

4 Equations of Lines & Quadratic Equations

Slope-intercept, point-slope, standard form. Quadratics in vertex form, vertex formula, and systems of equations

5 Trigonometry

SOHCAHTOA, unit circle, identities, graphing trig functions, and solving trigonometric equations

Calculator Mastery

Desmos, TI-84 & the all-new TI-84 EVO — a big step forward for math students

Master the TI-84 EVO — a real step up

The new TI-84 EVO has a faster processor, sharper screen, and built-in abilities your child won't want to take a test without. We help students get comfortable with everything it can do, so they're not just punching in answers — they're actually seeing the math.

Shortcuts most students never find

Hidden TI-84 functions, Desmos graphing tricks that solve problems in seconds. Stuff we've picked up over 20+ years of test prep that you won't stumble onto by yourself.

Avoid Common Calculator Mistakes

Knowing which calculator NOT to use is just as important as knowing which one to grab. We teach students to spot trap questions where the wrong choice eats up time.

Picked Up Over 20+ Years

The calculator strategies, shortcuts, and question-type frameworks we teach come from working with hundreds of students. They pick them up naturally as we work through sessions together.

Patient Approach

Building true understanding

Our Teaching Philosophy

More Than Just Getting the Answer

Math today isn't about memorizing steps. It's about understanding why something works. We teach students to get the answer AND explain how they got there. Over time, that builds real confidence, not just for the next test but for whatever math comes next.

One-on-One Personalized Instruction

Every session is tailored to your student's unique needs, pace, and learning style.

Executive Functioning & Study Skills

Organization, planning, and learning strategies that help students succeed in math and beyond.

Focus on Understanding, Not Memorization

We explain the "why" behind every concept so students actually get it, not just memorize it.

What success requires

We bring the expertise. But real improvement is a two-way street. Here's what families should know going in.

Long-Term Commitment

Math skills aren't built in a few sessions. Take Melanie from Fleetwood — after 2 years of weekly 1.5-hour sessions, her daughter went from math anxiety to genuine confidence. That kind of transformation doesn't happen in a month. Quick fixes don't stick — sustained effort does.

Follow the Program

We design each student's plan for a reason. Skipping sessions, ignoring practice assignments, or working outside our approach slows progress. The students who trust the process get the results.

Partnership With Parents

The best outcomes happen when parents reinforce expectations at home — making sure students show up prepared, complete practice between sessions, and communicate honestly about what's working and what isn't.
