Real Measurable Improvements You Can See (Before → After)
Thousands of parents, once as worried as you are now, have watched their children go from struggling and anxious to confident and successful with Thinkster.
“Thinkster Math did it in 1 year what Kumon could not do in 3 years!”
“My daughter went from 'bombing math' and being in “danger zone” to showing growth that was 80% above her state peers after using Thinkster.”
"It’s amazing what a year of Thinkster can do! Her teacher told me it’s the first time she saw any of her students score higher than a fifth grader! We are doing something right!”
"Before starting Thinkster, Kiara was falling behind in Math, but these days she tackles complex word problems and has built strong calculation skills which have led her to achieve the highest band in the Australian Naplan National Test.”
“...Thanks to his tutor and Thinkster, Soham has scored 86% in his state level and one of the highest in his campus...”
"Thinkster Math helped Suprav in building more confidence in math by identifying his strong and weak areas and working on them gradually to advance Suprav beyond his grade level which helped him achieve top scores not only in his class but also in his MAP tests”
Thinkster student Georgia’s score of 93% on the International MAP Math test. During her two years with Thinkster, Georgia's math performance improved significantly, with her MAP results increasing by over 20%.
Literally, Off The Charts Performance!!
Camille’s performance in the national NAPLAN test was literally off the charts! Camille’s parents chose Thinkster over Kumon for learning mathematics several years back because of the convenience of not having to travel to a learning center.
Her parents shared, “Camille’s got a full extracurricular schedule and we didn’t want to drive her to yet another place, and we didn’t want to grade her worksheets. She is also able to do Thinkster easily while we travel.”
Literally, Off The Charts Performance!!
"Carys is a hard worker and takes school very seriously. She strives to be the best in everything she does. Carys was the only 4th grade girl in her school to obtain National Honorable Mention for the Noetic Learning Math Contest. We are very proud of her!"
If this feels familiar... you’re not alone.
You’ve noticed the signs. Maybe your child is visibly frustrated with homework, or maybe they’re acing tests but still feel unchallenged. Whether it's slipping confidence or untapped potential, there's that parental instinct telling you they deserve more — more support, more growth, more joy in learning.
Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
-
Your child avoids homework — not because they can't do it, but because they hate it.
-
You hear, "I'm just not a math person," and worry they've started believing it.
-
They get good grades, but breeze through assignments without feeling stretched.
-
You've tried helping — even hired tutors — but something's still not clicking.
-
You're not sure if they need catch-up, challenge, or just the right kind of support.
You're not alone. And you don't have to guess what they need next.
“I knew my daughter was capable of more — she was coasting. Thinkster gave her structure, stretch goals, and a sense of pride in her own progress.”
The Short Truth
Most parents aren't missing effort. They're missing a system that clearly answers:
What's the gap? What's next? How do we know it worked?
Start 7-Day Free TrialWhy the usual fixes fail
The problem isn’t your child. It’s the method.
Most parents think the answer is:
More Weekly Tutoring...
but feedback is delayed, so the same mistakes repeat.
More or Harder Worksheets & Practice...
they give practice... but not the right practice.
Parents Stuck in the Worst Role...
the nag, the monitor, the homework referee.
This is like trying to build a house by adding more bricks... without checking if the foundation is stable.
When progress isn't visible, kids stop believing effort matters.
That's how "I'm not a math kid" gets locked in.
A quick note from me (and why I built this)
Hi, I'm Raj Valli. I'm a dad first—and I've always been a 'systems' person. I'm a certified Six Sigma Black Belt, which basically means I obsess over making progress predictable instead of leaving it to chance. For 20+ years I've built 'no-guesswork' systems for performance—first in business, then for my own kids' learning.
My approach helped all three of my daughters reach big goals, including Ivy League admissions—but Thinkster isn't about Ivy League. It's about helping a child build real math mastery and confidence early, so doors stay open—whatever path they choose.
I built Thinkster because I couldn't find a program that consistently did that: a system that gives the right next step, fast feedback from a real tutor, and progress you and your child can actually see - so confidence becomes automatic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common questions parents ask about Thinkster.
How quickly will I see improvement in my child's math skills?
Most parents notice increased confidence within the first week, and measurable improvement in math skills within 2-4 weeks. Our data shows children improve an average of 2.3 grade levels in their first 6 months. However, every child is different, and we track progress closely to ensure consistent growth.
How much time does my child need to spend each day?
Just 15-20 minutes per day, 5 days a week. Our AI creates focused, targeted practice that maximizes learning in minimal time. Plus one 30-minute weekly session with their dedicated tutor. This fits easily into most family schedules while delivering powerful results.
What if my child is significantly behind or ahead in math?
Perfect! Our AI assessment identifies your child's exact skill level and creates a personalized learning path. Whether your child is 2 grade levels behind or ready for advanced concepts, we meet them where they are and accelerate their growth at the optimal pace.
How is this different from Khan Academy or other free programs?
While free programs offer general lessons, Thinkster provides personalized daily practice + human expert coaching. Our AI identifies specific knowledge gaps and creates targeted practice, while your dedicated tutor provides feedback, motivation, and 1:1 support. It's the difference between self-study and having a personal coach.
What happens during the weekly tutor sessions?
Your dedicated tutor reviews your child's week of work, addresses any challenging concepts, provides encouragement, and ensures they're building confidence. Sessions are 1:1, personalized to your child's needs, and designed to reinforce learning while building mathematical thinking skills.
Can I see my child's progress and what they're learning?
Absolutely! You get daily progress reports, can see exactly what problems your child worked on, tutor feedback, skill mastery levels, and how their learning translates to grade-level advancement. Complete transparency is core to our approach.
What if my child doesn't like math or is math-anxious?
This is exactly what we specialize in! Our approach builds confidence through small, manageable wins every day. The personalized practice ensures your child isn't overwhelmed, and their dedicated tutor provides encouragement and support. 89% of our students report loving math more after 3 months.
How do I know if the tutor is a good fit for my child?
We carefully match tutors to students based on learning style and personality. If for any reason the match isn't perfect, we'll switch to a different tutor at no cost. Our tutors are all math specialists with advanced degrees and extensive experience with elementary/middle school students.
What if I'm not satisfied with the results?
We offer a money-back guarantee for families on our annual plan because we’re confident in the results Thinkster delivers — and thousands of families see it work every day. Just follow six simple steps, and you should start seeing progress. If your child doesn’t show improvement after 6 months, based on a comparison of their initial and follow-up Thinkster assessments, we’ll give you a full refund.
How much does it cost compared to traditional tutoring?
Thinkster starts at $64/month for the complete program (daily practice + weekly expert tutoring + progress tracking). Traditional tutoring typically costs $200+ per week for just 1-2 hours. You get more personalized support, better results, and complete transparency for a fraction of the cost.
