Services
Upgrade your mind
When your student is ready to go from great to exceptional, the right support makes all the difference. With our services, you can ensure they’ll move toward mastery, preparing for top-tier universities and beyond. Build the skills to tackle challenging work and achieve outstanding performance in math competitions and admissions tests.
What we do
Math competition coaching
Reach new heights
Preparing for advanced math competitions like the AMC isn’t just about solving problems — it’s about cognitive creativity and mental resilience. Whether it’s tackling the AMC, the AIME, or related competitions and qualifying quizzes, we help students gain the tools to succeed and stand out in admissions processes.
Admission test prep
Earn fantastic scores
For students aiming for prestigious universities, top scores are just the beginning. We help students go beyond test-taking strategies to master the underlying material, build mental resilience, and approach exams with the confidence to excel — opening doors to dream schools.
Academic tutoring and coaching
Master learning, master your future
Good grades are necessary. But developing the habits and skills to thrive in subjects that interest and challenge you shouldn’t be a second priority. With our support, students take charge of their own learning, making STEM schoolwork faster and AP exams easier as they grow in confidence and mastery.
Who we do it for
You’re a parent with a bright, ambitious student who isn’t satisfied with maintaining a GPA — they’re looking to stretch themselves and, yes, to excel. You know your child’s potential. You know that their school is great. But you also know that they aren’t being challenged in all the right ways.
Maybe your student is overwhelmed by their workload, struggling to stay engaged, or feeling less than fully engaged with material that doesn’t challenge them appropriately. Maybe your student is overwhelmed by their workload, struggling to stay engaged, or feeling less than fully engaged with material that doesn’t challenge them appropriately.
We’re here to support students like yours who need more: more depth, better challenges, and more effective tools for unlocking their potential. We work with students who want to move from good to exceptional, and we provide the guidance they need to develop their full capabilities.
There are academic tutors,
and then there’s us
We help students become top performers even in difficult situations. But unlike many other tutoring services, we don’t stop there. We help them become lifelong learners, always digging deeper to develop real understanding and mastery. Your student will learn to take charge of their education, building independence and confidence along the way. Instead of relying on tutors for urgent solutions, we will help them become independent thinkers, ready for whatever academic or real-world challenges come their way.
What do parents, students, and counselors say
about working with us
“[Wes] did a great job in walking my daughter through a series of problems to understand exactly where she was having difficulty, and he figured out a way to point out the issue that sidestepped any resistance or defensiveness.
His one session with my daughter solved the problem! She is documenting her work more thoroughly and is doing better on tests – partly because she makes fewer mistakes, and partly because when she does make a mistake she gets more partial credit due to having shown her work. She got an A in honors math last semester!”

“Wes is a profoundly gifted teacher. Aside from having the requisite brilliant understanding of math, Wes is able to explain complicated and often abstract concepts in a way that respects each student’s specific learning style. What makes Wes so talented is his ability to speak many languages when it comes to math. My daughter found her meetings with Wes so inspiring and exciting that she is contemplating majoring in math in college!”
Jennifer M.
“I want to thank you both sincerely for the confidence that has grown inside of Hudson since working with you. Since working with you, Hudson’s test scores across the board have improved and his Computer Science grade has gone up 20 percentage points.
I am happy with the success Hudson has been showing. He is much calmer, more confident, and visibly feels better about himself. It’s been awesome to watch, and I only wish I had sought your team out sooner. I cannot speak highly enough about you and I sincerely appreciate your working with Hudson.”
