Company Overviews

About Math Squared Education

In 1999, the founders of Math Squared, Henry Yang and Jean Tsai realized that most children were having difficulties with problem solving in mathematics and therefore started research about all kinds of math learning programs available. But they found a lot of programs were using the rote system and almost none focused on balancing computation, problem solving, critical thinking, logic, puzzle, geometry and other areas in math. In 2000, they gathered a group of professional engineers, psychologists, mathematicians and educators, in Silicon Valley, who have drawn upon their individual areas of expertise and collaborated to design this entirely new system of learning math for Pre-K to 6th grade. Since the company's inception, 15 centers have been established in the US operating with Math Squared's license program. To further their marketing efforts, they have collaborated with Smart Kids Corp for distribution of the licensees. The founder of Smart Kids, Perry Ho believes that math is more than just the computation; children should be able to think out of the box and be equipped to overcome further challenges. Perry has more than 10 years of working experience as a Program/Marketing Manager in AT&T Bell Labs. She has won the highest honor of Bells Labs President Award for outstanding work. She has been trained extensively by Math Squared trainer to become a Math Squared certified instructor. Perry has been a dedicated educator for several years.

About GradePower Learning

GradePower Learning is unlike any other franchise in North America and is changing the way our children process, interpret, and organize information. It is important to understand that we do not tutor students. Tutoring is only a temporary fix; it's focused on getting a better grade or test score. We combine academic tutoring with cognitive learning, so our focus is on improving how children learn. We use these methods in order to teach students how to think correctly. By doing so they learn real self-esteem and they won't need tutoring year after year. This will not only give students better grades, it will benefit them for the rest of their lives. We have the widest array of these programs, such as; Little Readers, Beyond Tutoring, Advantage, SAT/ACT Test Prep, College Readiness Study, ADD, ADHD, NCLB and more! You will also have the opportunity to partner with a company that not only has 25 years dedicated to the learning and education industry, but also over 35 years experience in franchising and working with people from all walks of life to help them build a successful future for themselves and their families.
