MATHEMATICS
We train four styles of Mathematics. Briefly they are Mathematics for Admissions Tests, Classic Mathematics, Mathematics for Kids, and Math Phobia.
ADMISSIONS TESTS
The two entrance exams for American University are the ACT and SAT. This Mathematics spans the 20th century traditional high-school curriculum: Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and elementary Probability/Statistics.
The emphasis is on performance and problem solving. The underlying vectors targeted by these tests are control of the fundamentals, speed, and decision-making.

CLASSIC MATHEMATICS
CLASSIC MATH aims to re-engineer the tragic situation prevailing in high school education. Today's high school education is just as you left it: unfocused, checklist-oriented, anti-creative. Teaching from a Table of Contents is injurious to the soul, and virtually guarantees that the student will never do original work in the field, if indeed the student ever goes near it again.
Instead of going down that road, join a more natural meander through the classics. Visit the peaks, woods, and springs that dot the landscape of one of humanity's intellectual triumphs, discoveries which ought to be - and can be - a part of everyone's shared heritage.

SPECIAL NEEDS
ONE DAY, we will come across one of our old Math textbook, shake our heads, and pick up a machete to go forage for food in a deserted concrete jungle. Sadly, until that day many people will have to either live with the damage done by the factory approach, or else do remedial work.
The anecdotal evidence suggests that math phobia and dyscalculia can be remedied. It takes a minimally invasive approach, and a subtle understanding of algebra and number properties. But the right view of Mathematics as a Second Language can be installed, and people who have gone through that process make exceptional teachers to their own children.
