Our Differences

Tiny Classes Featuring 1:1 Guidance
Unlike our competitors who have large classes with 10 or more students, we keep our class sizes small at similar proficiency levels. In our Platinum tier, there are 2-4 students per class; in Gold, 5-6; and in Silver, 7-8. Their learning experience is significantly more productive due to the 1:1 dialogs. We don’t stick to fixed lesson plans but adjust in real time based on our students' progress. After every class, we provide a recap and tailored homework to reinforce what was learned.

Develop Problem-Solving Minds
We encourage abstract thinking and creativity by introducing students to advanced topics in an engaging and accessible way. Topics include logic, combinatorics, recursive functions, modular arithmetic, number theory, and mathematical proofs. Students also practice problem-solving strategies such as “guess and check”, “finding patterns”, and “drawing diagrams”. Learn more

Social & Engaging Hands-On Activities
We offer in-person classes with hands-on activities to keep students engaged and reduce screen time. Children learn best by engaging their senses, connecting with others, and experiencing math through problems, games, and activities.

Rigorous and Personalized Curriculum
We tailor our lessons to each student’s needs and complement their partner school's math curriculum. For advanced students, we skip over topics they've already mastered and dive into more challenging subjects. We also help them prepare for math contests. For students who need extra support with foundational concepts, we use visual aids, games, and puzzles to offer hands-on, personalized help.

To Bring Our Program To Your Child’s School
How We Started
Growing up in a Chinese family with a rich tradition of mathematics education, I searched extensively for the ideal math and logic program for my child. Beyond a rigorous and engaging curriculum, I envisioned a social learning experience in exceptionally small classes that combined the individualized benefits of 1:1 tutoring — inspired by Bloom’s 2 Sigma Problem — with the joy, motivation, and collaborative thinking that come from solving puzzles and playing math games together with peers in person.
After having my child try many existing programs on the market, I found them often too rigid, too dry, and lacking the individualized attention that truly small class sizes and expertly trained instructors — using best practices informed by the latest evidence-based educational research — can provide.
Online classes are even less effective, as many research studies have shown. After failing to find a satisfying solution, I taught my son and his friends myself. They learned much more and had fun.
Therefore, I left my executive career and started Descartes Learning Club to offer the best math and logic after-school learning experience I would like my child to have because many more children deserve this to achieve greatness in life.
