Core values
Grounded on leading research and our successful experience
Passion
“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” — Steve Jobs
At Excellence, we cultivate a love for math and science with personalized learning, motivation, and a mentor to guide the way. Math will go from a fight to delight, and your child’s performance will never be the same.
Regularity
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” — Aristotle
Children and parents set a study routine together. It can be short—10 minutes is a great start, while the most ambitious may aim for 20 or 30. Consistency is the secret.
Adaptability
"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled." — Plutarch
Harnessing AI and NLP, we equip mentors with detailed insights into your child's progress, allowing them to refine their personalized program weekly.
Our AI tutor adapts in real time, providing explanations uniquely tailored to your child's learning style—outperforming human tutors.
Engagement
"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." — Confucius
True learning and long-term retention engage all the senses. Most online platforms fail because they reduce learning to passive screen time and multiple-choice questions.
We take a different approach—tailoring our methods to your child's memorization style, encouraging handwritten answers, active note-taking, and verbal rehearsal with our AI tutor. Math becomes unforgettable.

Frequently Asked Questions
A 15 min complimentary call with a mentor or an Excellence instructor, even for the essential program. During the meeting we'll learn about your child's needs and current level to craft a highly personalized learning experience.
Excellence is adaptative at its core, and works extremely well for 95% of children. We help students express their full potential regardless of their classroom performance, i.e we are not a program only for the top 1% learners. If your child has special needs, please mention it during the onboarding call so we can accommodate them.
We believe every child deserves the chance to excel. That’s why we offer scholarships—both merit-based and need-based—for motivated students whose parents need assistance. Simply start your trial, mention your request during the 15-minute onboarding call, and we’ll review your application within 24 hours.To further support families, we provide a 50% discount for additional children. If you're not in the United States, further discounts may apply.
Consistency is the secret. We suggest beginning with 10 minutes per day, which already yields exceptional results in a 3-6 months timeframe. Excellence's software gauges your child's motivation on a daily basis, and, if you chose the mentorship plan, the mentor will do the same. As soon as your child is ready for more—or less, we'll suggest a change. Children can also ask for an amendment directly.
Motivated students devote up to 30 minutes per day, get several years ahead and acquire exceptional skills in mathematics and science.
Absolutely! It has been incredibly effective for our customers. In our experience, tutors primarily address students' immediate needs—homework, exams, and school-related questions. However, unless a student has a tutor every day, their progress remains reactive rather than proactive. Excellence takes learning to a whole new level by systematically building your child’s math skills for long-term success, fostering independence and confidence. In short, Excellence doesn’t replace a tutor—it makes one unnecessary within 1 to 2 years.
It is— meaning what they learn will translate into higher grades and a deeper understanding of what they do at school. However our program is long-term focused, so we won't necessarily teach everything in te exact same way. In fact, our handcrafted curriculum allows for a much faster, more in-depth learning than Common Core, and will allow your child to skip ahead. In addition of the program, we provide a cutting-edge AI tutor to help your child work on school materials and prepare for exams.
Absolutely, we cater to both paper and digital learners, and can even mail courses and exercices weekly to your home— for free.
