Our Philosophy Be around for 500+ years…
- 1 Our goal is to build an educational platform that will stand the test of time. When we speak internally about being around for a minimum of 500 years, everything takes a different perspective when we plan our future as a company
- 2 We compare ourselves with MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Princeton and the like. Not out of vanity, but out of respect. You don’t question the existence of these institutions for the next 500+ years. We aspire for the same. Some have been around a few years. But none of them are able to guarantee learning outcomes the way parents and students want them..
- 3 Parents want to genuinely help their children to learn better, faster, and more efficiently, but often struggle to find the right provider. Students are frustrated because they want to learn everything as quickly as possible with the minimal amount of effort and not dwell on topics that they already know. We get it. We were students once and are parents now.
Our Purpose Solve The Biggest Problems in Education…
- 1 At Thinkster Math, we come to work everyday because we want to solve the biggest problems in Education. We've also sent our kids to Kumon, Mathnasium, and other math tutoring providers, and have used IXL and a host of websites that promised to help our children.
- 2 Today, there are over one billion students on the planet and hundreds of thousands of tutoring centers. Some were created last night, and some have been around a few years
- 3 But none of them are able to guarantee learning outcomes the way parents and students want them. Parents want to genuinely help their children to learn better, faster, and more efficiently, but often struggle to find the right provider. Students are frustrated because they want to learn everything as quickly as possible with the minimal amount of effort and not dwell on topics that they already know. We get it. We were students once and are parents now.
Our Culture Innovate, Inspire and be Humble & Authentic…

We are true to ourselves, honest and transparent with our thinking with no hidden agendas. We are an open book and eager to connect with everyone around us. We will only do things legally and ethically.
Inspired
We seek to be fresh in our thinking and inspiring with everything we do.
Innovative
Our foundation is based on the philosophy that we are deeply attracted to making things better - to make the world better tomorrow than the one we inherited today.
Passion for learning
We do this by seeking to keep continuous learning as our mantra and for pushing the boundaries of what is considered possible and not possible.
Pursue Excellence
Whatever we do, we will do it with pride, ownership, and great deal of industriousness, and we will strive to deliver nothing but the best.
Humble
We remain humble in whatever we do and how we interact with our customers, partners, and each other, along with the way we speak about ourselves.
Respectful
We have a strong bias for hearing everyone’s opinions - including our customers. There are no bad ideas, only those that we have not heard so far.
Optimistic
We look at the world through optimistic eyes and believe that we attract happiness, good things, and good people, around us all the time.
Daring
We dare to dream big, and have the courage to create, fail, and create better. We believe that remaining curious is a virtue.
Our Products & Services
Thinkster Math (previously known as Tabtor Math) has rapidly become the world leader in personalized, AI and technology enabled math tutoring.
By using research based intervention methods and promoting conceptual, analytical and reasoning skills using problems tied to real-life situations, the company is able to create lifelong learners by improving their ability to think and rapidly accelerate their problem solving skills.
Using digital analytics, dedicated elite tutors, and patent-pending Active Replay Technology (ART), our tutors are able to visualize student thinking, allowing them to understand not only what mistakes student’s made, but why they made it thus accelerating their learning curves. ART also allows our tutors to play back student work and give feedback specific to the mistake they made. A companion smartphone app provides parents with insights on a daily basis by viewing the dynamically updating progress matrix.
