Develop Problem-Solving Minds and a Lifelong Love of Learning

We strive to offer the best math and logic enrichment education possible on campus at our partner schools and other convenient locations through small-sized, highly personalized, and nurturing lessons that focus on developing math abstract thinking led by expertly trained and mathematically strong instructors and designed with the contribution of our world-class advisors.

Problem-Solving Minds

Our Differences

Micro Class Size of 3-6 Students

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, it's 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

Develop Problem-Solving Minds

We encourage abstract thinking and creativity by introducing students to advanced topics in an engaging and accessible way. Topics include 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 In-Person Classes

Social & Engaging Hands-On Activities

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

Customized and Rigorous Curriculum

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 (e.g., combinatorics, number theory). 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 rich in math traditions, I was looking for the ideal math and logic education for my child. In addition to a rigorous and fun curriculum, I envisioned it to provide the benefits of both 1:1 tutoring based on Bloom’s 2 Sigma Problem and the social motivation from learning through solving puzzles and playing games with peers in person. 

After having my child try many existing offerings in the market, I found them too rigid, too dry, and lacking the individualized teaching only micro class sizes and expertly trained instructors who use best practices developed based on the latest evidence-based research findings.

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.

Customers’ Testimonials

The Descartes Learning Club has been such a positive and game-changing experience for our son, Greyson. Beatrice and her team have created a program and environment that challenges the kids and also enables a foundation for problem solving that Greyson has been able to apply to not only math but other subject areas. The curated groups and smaller class sizes ensure the kids are engaged and challenged not only by the curriculum but by each other, and this is not something we could recreate at home. The classes are truly a bright spot in Greyson's week, and in his own words: "I love it! It's fun, and it teaches me math strategies!"
