What We Teach 

We teach math three types of math:
  1. School Math, from pre-algebra to calculus. These are your traditional math tutoring subjects. 
  2. Math you actually use, like mental math and estimation. These are skills anyone can learn - no matter how young or old. 
  3. Money Math, like how to budget and invest money. These are the foundational building blocks for a life of developing financial knowledge. 

Learning school math helps our students develop "Number Sense" which helps them get better grades in school and better opportunities after graduation. Learning real-world math helps our students develop "Money Sense" which helps them have a better life personally and financially.

2. Math You (Actually!) Use 

The Math You Use subject lessons below answer the age-old question: when are ever going to use this?  Let's be honest, most students won't ever use algebra or geometry in life after school.  But some of what you learned in school you WILL use in life.  And we teach those things to you below. You will come away understanding numbers better than you ever thought you could. That "understanding" of numbers is another important application of what we call Number Sense - and it is the key to achieving professional success in your work life.  Yes, getting and keeping a great job or starting and running a successful business depends on mastering the math you use.

3. Money Math: One of the B.I.G.G.E.S.T. Parts of Life

We teach the essentials of budgeting, investing, giving and getting money (like from an inheritance), earning, saving and trusting money.  These constitute the Seven B.I.G.G.E.S.T. aspects of managing money.  Yes, those seven aspects spell out BIGGEST!  Most adults will attest to the fact that managing money is in fact one of the BIGGEST parts of life. 

Every student must be introduced to these seven lessons in order to start out in life with a strong foundation of financial knowledge.  Each one of these seven lessons helps students develop what we call "Money Sense".  Having a strong foundation of financial knowledge is "Money Sense" and is the first step on the path to achieving financial success in life.

We look at the strength in numbers behind the numbers - namely the power of compounding.  ​Don't take our word for it - Einstein said, “Compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world."

GIVING

Picture
For Goodness' Sake, Give: Why Giving is Grand
​Why is this here? Aren't we all trying to keep more of it? Well, yes.

But there are real-world business and money principles that tell us to reconsider our first inclinations about holding onto our money. We introduce those principles and the many positive ramifications of giving our money away (no, not all of it).

GETTING

Getting the G's: Gettin' Giddy and Living to Tell About It​
We will all get money without earning it the old-fashioned way, it's just a matter of how we handle it. Whether it is 100G from an inheritance, 10K from a loan, or 100 Uncle Bens from gambling, we will explore the dangers and consequences of getting money these ways. This workshop tells how not to do it and what to do when we do get it - without earning it. 

It may not play out until many years down the road, but this could be the difference that puts you on a different path in life. 

EARNING

SAVING

TRUSTING

Trusting Money: The Troubling Truth & Transformation
​

​There is a troubling truth about money that we would all be wise to heed. What does it mean to put our trust in our money?

This is related to the "Giving" lessons and expands on those, while introducing end-of-life planning and discussing different perspectives on money from those who have accumulated wealth and those who have not. Right, we know, young people aren't thinking about that right now. Never to early to hear about it though. It's worth it.
