Online 1:1 Math Tutoring · Grades 7–12

Math, seen differently.

For the student who has been made to feel that they're “just not a math person.” Together, we rebuild the foundation — and the confidence — that makes math feel like theirs.

The Approach
“Everyone has something special to offer this world. I want to work with your child to unlock that something special.”
Selam Desta

The Difference

Most tutoring acts as a bandaid.
This isn't that.

01
Foundations first

Most tutors teach to the next test. Selam rebuilds grade 7–9 fundamentals so grade 10–12 actually works — no cracks, no collapsing when pressure hits.

02
Confidence over tricks

Memorized shortcuts often fail because they are unreliable. Selam teaches students to trust their own reasoning, rooted in deep understanding — the only skill that transfers to every future problem, in and out of the classroom.

03
At your own, unique pace

Selam doesn’t believe in rushing through content simply to meet a societal deadline. Working at the pace of the student is key — there is no “too slow” or “too fast” when it comes to quality learning.

Curriculum

Works with what your student already has.

While teaching the math content is key, Selam also emphasizes the importance and value of soft skills. This is best done by building on the skills your student already possesses, whether they realize it or not.

What families say
What a wonderful ability to be able to connect. To find the awesome in each person, and to get joy out of letting them know about it. You are very special. I thought someone should give you an award too: Most real and attuned teacher.
