Roadmap map
Coming soon!
- We are consulting with a patent lawyer on an innovative product designed to help students visualize mathematical formulas. We believe this tool will disproportionately benefit students with dyscalculia and aim to launch it as our first product by the summer.
- We plan to rent dedicated office space for in-person tutoring, offer internships to local college students, and give a free talk at public library.
- We are working on created a Membership+ option to give even more support to students and parents, including deadline reminders, grade tracking, study journaling, and between-tutoring support.
2025
January- Launched a membership program to give perks for students that use Mathyness regularly.
2023
November- 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.
October- 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.
2022
August- 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 and called myself "The Math Guru."
- Started testing the market to see if parents would hire me for tutoring by taking a simple approach—putting up flyers in coffee shops and posting on my personal social media. At first, I charged just $20 per hour, increasing my rate by $5 with each new inquiry. I jokingly told a friend that I’d do it for free just to see if people would actually sit down with me for an hour to talk about math, but I knew it had to cost something for the experiment to be real. Each time I raised my prices, I noticed that my close rate remained consistently high, regardless of the amount. That trend continues to this day, and now we charge five times our original rate.
