What Students & Parents Say
Over 250 students have been impacted by Amos Tarfa's teaching since 2012
"Not only does this instructor relate to me because we are close in age, but this instructor provided multiple ways to find answers every single time I had a question. I would love to take more classes with this instructor."
"Not a chance, this instructor is the most positive man I have ever met in my life. I aspire to have half the outlook and positivity in life and my religion that he has. Don't change. Stay driven. I loved the class."
"My daughter just called me with her Sept ACT scores. Her composite is a 28. Math went from 22 to 25 (3 point increase) & Science from 25 to 31 (6 point increase). The video series was very helpful and doing a little each day was nice and not overwhelming. Thank you so much!"
"I was asked why I picked electrical engineering, and my decision was nourished by your teaching and mindset about learning and using math to better the world. I think my path changed for the better because of your influence in both a spiritual and educational sense. I passed the Fundamentals of Engineering exam too."
"You asked us why we were doing just okay. Why weren't we doing amazing or awesome. You challenged us to really reflect on what was going on in our life, to look for our blessings. This is just one of many lessons that are now a part of who I am today. Thank you for all of the time, passion, and care that you invested into each and every one of us!"
"You have always been a huge inspiration to me and much of my desire to learn and grow can be attributed to the classes I had with you. Keep inspiring people!"

Who Is This Curriculum For?
This curriculum serves two distinct groups exceptionally well
Students who find traditional math instruction disconnected and meaningless will discover that mathematics makes sense when they understand the why behind every concept.
By learning through stories and historical context, struggling students gain the motivation and understanding they need to succeed.
Students who excel at mathematics but want to go deeper will appreciate the rich historical context, philosophical implications, and connections between ideas.
This curriculum transforms mathematics from a collection of techniques into a profound human endeavor spanning millennia.
