About Mathyness

Mathematics is more than numbers, equations, and formulas—it’s a profoundly human pursuit. At its heart, math is a social experience, shaped by the people who inspire us. Often, those who fall in love with math point to someone who sparked their curiosity: a teacher who made it come alive, a family member who nurtured their interest, or a classmate who shared in the joy of discovery.

At Mathyness, we believe that spark—the thrill of understanding, the joy of solving a problem—can change lives. The beauty of math isn’t just in the questions we ask or the answers we find—it’s in the journey between them. We’re here to illuminate that path, helping students not only learn how math works, but why it matters.

Our mission is simple: connect passionate mathematicians with students across the nation, transforming how math is taught, learned, and experienced. We don’t just tutor—we empower students to see math as a tool to unlock opportunities, sharpen their thinking, and shape their futures.

We start where the need is greatest: college students. Many find themselves struggling in a math course that could impact their plans, careers, or confidence. We help these students turn things around—not just to pass a class, but to regain confidence, stay on track, and keep moving toward their goals.

Once we’ve made an impact in college, we work backward to high school and younger students, helping them build strong foundations in math. For some, that means preparing for college-level courses. For others, it’s applying math to real-life situations—like managing personal finances, budgeting, or planning for the future.

We also support teachers with innovative tools and strategies, helping them succeed even in challenging environments—overcrowded classrooms, underfunded schools, or periods of disruption. And for students with learning differences, such as dyscalculia, we create resources tailored to their needs. Everyone deserves the chance to succeed in math, no matter where they start.

At Mathyness, we’re not just teaching math—we’re reimagining how it’s shared, understood, and experienced. Because math isn’t just a subject—it’s a journey, and we’re here to help every student take the next step.
