Why families choose Mathwhiz
3,000+ students. 7 years. 6+ countries.
Families have trusted Mathwhiz Academy to help students strengthen mathematical understanding, rebuild confidence, and receive the support they need to keep progressing.
My child had been getting very low math scores ever since he entered high school. Mathwiz has helped him tremendously to develop accurate math skills, consistency and commitment.
I am very satisfied of my daughter’s progress. Not just her final grades assignment but the overall mindset and approach to the subject.
The Trial Class
Before you commit, experience how we teach.
The Trial Class is for North Carolina students in Grade 7 and Grade 8. Parents select their child’s grade during booking.
If you are wondering whether online math classes will actually work for your child, the Trial Class gives your family the opportunity to experience Mathwhiz before committing to the full program. Your child joins a real live online class, experiences how we teach, and gets a feel for the learning environment.
As a parent, you get the opportunity to see whether the structure, teaching style, and support feel like the right fit for your child before making a longer-term commitment. This is a real teaching session, not a sales consultation.
The Trial Class is completely free, so your family can experience Mathwhiz before deciding whether to enroll in the full program.

Step by step
Not just the answer. The way there.
When a concept isn’t fully understood, every new topic feels harder. So we go back, explain it differently, and practise the exact skill until it clicks, then help students apply it on their own.
- 1Identify the exact learning gap
- 2Re-teach what wasn’t understood
- 3Practise the specific skill
- 4Apply it independently
What happens after
A clear next step, with no obligation.
After the Trial Class, we bring together your child’s Starting Point Assessment and their experience in the live class. This helps us provide a grade-level program recommendation and gives you an opportunity to decide whether continuing with Mathwhiz feels like the right next step.
Live Class Experience
Your child experiences our teaching approach firsthand and you can see whether Mathwhiz feels like the right fit.
Free Trial, No Obligation
The Trial Class is completely free. If you choose to continue, you simply move forward with enrollment; no payment is required for the trial.
There is no obligation to enroll after the Trial Class.
Our approach
When Math gets hard, figuring it out alone isn’t always the answer.
When a concept is not fully understood, each new topic can begin to feel harder. Students may need someone to go back, explain the concept differently, identify the specific area causing difficulty, and provide focused practice until it begins to make sense. Parents also need to know where their child is struggling so they can understand what needs attention and follow their progress over time.
- 1
Identify the Exact Learning Gap
We pinpoint the specific concepts causing difficulty so support is focused where it matters most.
- 2
Re-teach What Wasn’t Understood
When a concept is not fully understood, we go back and explain it differently until it clicks.
- 3
Practice the Specific Skills
Targeted practice helps students strengthen the exact skills they are struggling with.
- 4
Apply Concepts Independently
Our goal is understanding that transfers, so students can solve problems on their own.
- 5
Give Parents Clearer Insight
Parents receive understandable evidence of where their child stands and how they are progressing.
The goal is not simply to give students more work. It is to make sure the right concepts are taught, practiced, monitored, and strengthened so they can move forward with greater confidence.

From first class to a full program.
A simple path from your child’s first live session to a structured grade-level program built around their continued progress.

Included with every registration
Learn where your child really stands.
Every student registered for the Mathwhiz Trial Class receives the Mathwhiz NC Math Starting Point Assessment before attending the live session.
A note on the assessment. The assessment includes an “I Have Not Learned This Yet” option. Schools may teach topics in different orders, so unfamiliar material is treated as a separate exposure status, not automatically as a weakness or incorrect response.
The Mathwhiz NC Math Starting Point Assessment is an internal Mathwhiz Academy assessment and is not a North Carolina statewide assessment. It was developed from our experience teaching students over the years to help identify where a student is beginning, including strengths and areas that may require additional support.

Live online classes
From shy to “let me show you.”
Students learn live with a real teacher, see the reasoning unfold step by step on the board, and are encouraged to take part. With preparation and support, they grow the confidence to explain solutions of their own.
Group classes, individual data
Group classes shouldn’t mean every child gets the exact same support.
The Starting Point Assessment is more than a score. If the student continues with Mathwhiz, it becomes the beginning of their individual learning data.
Starting Point Assessment
A clear picture of where your child begins.
Class + Assignment
Live instruction followed by assignments connected directly to the concepts being taught.
Instructional Milestones
Strengths, learning gaps, and areas requiring additional practice become clearer over time.
EOG Preparation
Grade-level knowledge and problem-solving are strengthened progressively throughout the year.
Group instruction. Individual learning data. Personalized practice. Measurable growth.
Student data helps identify strengths, areas for reinforcement, and priorities for practice. Every child learns within a small group, with their own learning data informing where to focus next.
How NC Check-Ins fit
One more data point on the way to the EOG.
Throughout the year, North Carolina Check-Ins can provide additional information about how students are performing on selected grade-level standards. We treat that information as one more data point that can help identify where additional instruction or reinforcement may be useful as students continue building toward the EOG.
We view NC Check-Ins as an additional external data point that can help families see how students are progressing during the year as they continue working toward their end-of-year goals.
Start with where they are
Show how far they’ve come.
At the beginning, establish a starting point. Throughout the program, teach, practice, assess, and adjust. Later, use a comparable Progress Assessment to help parents see what changed.
Starting Point Assessment
- What the child already understands
- What needs reinforcement
- What they have not yet learned
Comparable Progress Assessment
- Where the child started
- Which skills were already strong
- Which areas improved
- Which previously unlearned skills developed
- What still needs reinforcement
- How overall Mathwhiz assessment performance changed
Understandable evidence. Parents should not simply have to take our word for it. Mathwhiz should provide families understandable evidence so they can see what changed and make informed decisions about continued support.
Real parent experiences
Growth, confidence and clarity parents can see.
The Mathwhiz family have given my girls the confidence they needed. I’ve seen great improvement in their core understanding and performance.
My daughter started this class with poor average in math. I have tried many classes before and she hasn’t improved until I found Mathwhiz Academy.
My son began the August classes with a low average on the diagnostic assessment. After completing the three-week program, his average improved to the 90s.

Small-group cohorts
Maximum 15 students per cohort
Mathwhiz combines live instruction with technology that allows our team to see more than what is happening with the class as a whole. We can also identify where individual students may require additional practice, reinforcement, or support.
- Live Interactive Whiteboard: step-by-step problem walkthroughs where students can see the reasoning unfold in real time.
- Small-Group Accountability: every student is seen, engaged, and encouraged to participate.
- Individual Progress Tracking: participation, assignments, and learning gaps are monitored over time.
A maximum of 15 students per cohort keeps the group small and each child’s growth visible.
