Our Mission
Our mission at Do The Math is to ignite curiosity and cultivate confidence in the study of mathematics that is within all students. We achieve this by improving: knowledge, strategies, and understanding of mathematics.
Our Approach
Do The Math takes a holistic approach to teaching mathematics. We see the student as a person first, and meet them where they are. By teaching from a growth mindset perspective, all students can learn and grow. Taking an emotionally informed perspective allows us to acknowledge the many layers that contribute to difficulties one faces in studying mathematics.
More Than Just Math
Confidence
Feeling confident helps students be successful in all their endeavors. Celebrating successes and feeling good about accomplishments helps students be more willing to apply themselves in their study of mathematics.
Resiliency
Overcoming life's challenges is something that is valuable for everyone to practice. Persevering through math’s difficulties gives students the opportunity to practice resiliency that they can apply to the rest of their lives.
Metacognition
Often there are many paths toward success. Understanding the way one thinks is valuable in and out the math classroom. Students knowing what strategies work best for them helps them problem solve beyond math in school.
Testimonials and Reviews
“Richelle has been tutoring our daughter for 6 years. Because of Do The Math, our daughter sees math as fun and collaborative. They used to meet in person, but now they meet on Zoom or FaceTime. In each session, my daughter is a hundred percent relaxed, and her perspective and questions are met with respect and patience. Richelle is one of the best child educators I’ve met in my 13 years of parenting. Because of Do The Math, my daughter actually looks forward to math homework because she knows her questions will always be answered.”

“Our son needed some extra math support. We had heard wonderful things about Richelle and Do The Math. She connects with our son and encourages him with a ton of positive feedback. His 7th grade math teacher said he”killed it” this year! Best investment in our son and ended the power struggles. Do The Math is simply the BEST!!!”
