The Mission

Working with all ages of students who were struggled with math over the years a common refrain emerged that was usually some for of:

“I’m not a math person”

“I’ve never been good at math”

“I’ve always hated math”

But in nearly all these cases the challenges were rooted in foundational knowledge gaps which were never adequately addressed in the early years. Over time, these compounded and caused discouragement, anxiety and lack of confidence.

Lack of a sound math education has serious consequences. Studies show that poor math skills can result in lifetime earnings loss of $450,000 – 600,000 or more. 

The potential for great careers at prestigious tech and science companies are out of reach without math fluency.

At The Neighborhood Math Hour, the mission is to prepare and equip every student with the skills to be a successful mathematician and achieve their career goals and change the conversation to”

“I love math”

“I can do this!”

“I really am a math person!”
