Coming Soon

• We are working on a product designed to help students visualize mathematical formulas. We believe this tool may benefit students with dyscalculia and aim to launch it as our first product.
• We are developing a College Prep Program to assist high school students in preparing for college-level math. This program is expected to launch in mid-2026.

2026

• Unforunately while moving into a new apartment, our founder's Macbook, iPad, and countless clothing items were stolen from his car, a major financial setback. We had recenly paid for repairs on the devices and so tracking was turned off by the Apple team, which they didn't turn back on. We regretibly didn't purchase insurance to keep costs low. Lesson learned: always have insurance on your devices, especially if you rely on them for work. Although upsetting at first, the incident was an opportunity to practice detachment to material possessions and to focus on the things we can control, like our attitude and work ethic. We are grateful that no one was hurt and that we have the resources to replace our devices.

• We have transitioned from a session-based subscription model to a fixed-fee membership combined with usage-based billing. This shift simplifies our internal administration by eliminating the need to manually adjust subscriptions whenever a student's schedule changes. By decoupling the membership fee from the tutoring hours, we've lowered the barrier for students to book extra sessions and removed the financial penalty for missed appointments. This 'pay-for-what-you-attend' approach increases our appeal to students with fluid schedules while providing us with a clearer metric of our core customer base.
• We have implemented a limitless referral program designed to incentivize member-led growth. By offering non-expiring session credits for every successful referral, we've created a compounding incentive for our most loyal users. With no cap on earnings, the program turns our membership base into a primary acquisition channel, lowering our overall marketing costs while rewarding long-term student engagement.

2025

• We launched our membership program, billed weekly at X hours per week to reserve time slots on our calendar. It billed Sunday for the preceeding week's tutoring. In highsight it becaome overly complicated to manage.

2024

• Started paying founder.

• Took first card payment through Stripe.

2023

• Bought our current domain name mathyness.com and launched a landing page, replacing themath.guru because clients weren't recognizing it as a website. A second reason to drop themath.guru was because math.guru was already being used for math tutor and ranked higher in Google search. Better to have something unique.

• Incorperated and set up payment processing and banking. A huge mistake as it cost me to file taxes and franchise fee for 2023. I should have waited to incorperate in 2024, which would have saved me a thousand dollars. 'I' becomes 'we' too early.

2022

• Quit my temperary teaching gig to work full time on startup. I intentionally took a teaching position that would only last 3 years. Giving me an target date to go full time into my business. After the second year, they were requiring me to jump through hoops to stay. And unforunately for them, the idea of going back to school for a low paying job didn't make sense for me.

2021

• Set up a free Google Voice number to keep my personal and business communications separate—wouldn’t want to accidentally send a client a text meant for my girlfriend!
• Built a landing page with the domain name themath.guru
• Placed flyers in coffee shops and posting on social media platforms. Started at $20/hour and every new call, I'd ask for $5 more.
• Took Venmo and cash for payments to get started. Used Venmo's deep linking to smooth out the payment process. For example, clicking here will open Venmo on your device and populate the fields. It only takes one click for your customer to pay you. Embed your Venmo payment links into QR codes makes it even easier for your first customers to pay you.
