The Mission of MathExcel

Turn Math Anxiety to Math Happiness

MathExcel’s core mission is to empower students to become effective self-learners, rather than simply teaching them specific math topics. Many students who struggle with math don’t fail because they lack the ability, but because they don’t know how to study math properly. It’s not about being “good with numbers” or not—there’s an abundance of free math resources available online. So, why do so many still fail? The answer lies in two main factors: First, students often don’t understand the purpose behind learning math. Second, they don’t know how to approach learning it effectively. MathExcel aims to turn math failure into success by teaching students and families the essential skills of “why” and “how” to learn math.

Math, Education, Schools

"Why It Matters—Even When It Doesn’t Feel Like It"

You might be sitting in a math class right now, staring at numbers that seem pointless, half-listening while your phone feels way more interesting. It's easy to wonder, “When will I ever use this?” or “Why should I care?”

But here’s the truth: education—especially math—is not just about memorizing formulas or solving for x. It’s about learning how to think. Math teaches you how to break down problems, to be patient with yourself, and to keep trying even when something doesn’t make sense right away.

Those are the same skills you’ll need in real life—whether you're fixing something that’s broken, understanding your finances, building something new, or figuring out what to do next when life throws you a curveball.

School is more than grades and homework. It’s a training ground for your mind, your discipline, and your confidence. It’s where you learn to show up for yourself. And when you pick up your phone instead of picking up the challenge, you're not just distracting yourself—you might be quietly walking away from the version of you who could have done something amazing.

You don’t need to love every subject. You don’t even need to be perfect. But give yourself a shot. Be curious. Show up. You might be surprised at how far a little effort can take you—not just in school, but in life.

The problem students/families who may or may not be aware of:

"Students don’t have the skills that we had intended downstream in the curriculum, and so it creates different trajectories in students’ math abilities.’ Translation: Students’ poor math skills set them up for failure".

"I have long warned about inflated grade point averages – today we are seeing just how inflated they are, and uneducated, undereducated and unprepared high school graduates are".

These are some key points by Lance Izumi, Director of Education, Pacific Research Institute. Please read more on these issues on the Success section.
