From survival mode to confidence in math
You know your teen is bright, capable and hardworking but when it comes to math they shrink.
We help high-school students rebuild their confidence by developing the understanding, thinking and learning skills they need to figure things out for themselves.
What We Do Differently
Most tutoring helps students get unstuck on the math they’re doing right now. We help them develop the understanding, strategies and learning skills to know what to do the next time they’re stuck.
01. WE GET TO KNOW THE LEARNER
Not just what they know and what they don’t. We want to understand their strengths, gaps, learning habits, interests, goals and mindset so we can design a learning experience around who they are and where they’re headed.
02. WE DESIGN THE LEARNING
We don’t simply work through your teen’s homework. We intentionally design lessons around what they’re learning in class, while addressing the skill gaps, confidence and learning skills that may be getting in the way.
03. WE LET OUR STUDENTS DO THE THINKING
There’s no sitting back and listening to lectures here. Students get their hands dirty solving problems, trying ideas, making and fixing mistakes, while we guide their thinking without doing it for them.
04. We build for the Future
We want your teen to walk away with more than a solution to the problem in front of them. We help them build knowledge and strategies they can use when the next problem looks different; and learning skills they can carry well beyond math.
For us, Group Learning is the Gold Standard
We know that when you’re looking for support for your teen, 1:1 can feel like the most personalized option. But there are some things that only happen when there are more minds in the room.
Two ways to learn with us…
For most students, Study Groups are the place to start, but sometimes a student needs 1:1 support to help them reach a specific goal. And often, the right fit is a combination of both.
Some students add 1:1 sessions when they need extra help with a particular topic while continuing with their weekly group. Others start with a little 1:1 support to build the skills and confidence they need to join a group.
01
Study Groups
Our core learning experience
Small, collaborative groups where students work through carefully designed lessons alongside other students taking the same course.
They build understanding, confidence and independence by solving problems, sharing ideas, asking questions and learning with and from each other.
Best for: Students looking for ongoing support with their current math course while building confidence, understanding and independence.
02
1-on-1 Tutoring
Targeted 1:1 support
Individualized sessions focused on a specific goal, whether that’s strengthening a foundational skill, working through a challenging concept, or rebuilding the confidence your teen needs to move forward.
Best for: Students who need more focused support before or alongside a Study Group.

Meet Brenna
After teaching math and science for 10 years now, I’ve watched too many bright, capable students shrink their goals because they were struggling in math class.
And it was never because they weren’t capable of going further in math. They just stopped believing they could.
I started Inquisia to change that. We might teach math concepts but more importantly we teach students how to get stuck and keep going, how to trust their own thinking, and how to become more independent learners.
Because what they learn about themselves in math class can follow them a lot further than the math itself.
Get in touch.
