About Us
The Math Yogis is an in-person, high-dosage math tutoring organization rooted in equity, academic excellence, and joyful learning. What began with a few dedicated tutors at just a couple of schools has grown into a movement serving 31 schools across urban Los Angeles. Founded by former math teachers, we focus on uplifting historically underserved communities, particularly Black and Brown students, through data-driven and relationship-centered instruction. Our research-backed approach has shown meaningful gains in student performance, including significant improvements on end-of-year math assessments. We prioritize placing professional, well-trained tutors in front of students, using real-time data to guide instruction, building authentic relationships, and collaborating with schools by integrating our services into the school day or extended learning blocks to ensure consistency and impact.
Vision: For every student — regardless of background or prior experience — to realize their limitless potential as a math learner.
We believe every child can reach grade-level mastery with the right support, structure, and belief in their abilities.
Mission: We provide high-dosage, small-group math tutoring that reduces stress and accelerates learning.
Grounded in research and driven by data, our approach empowers students to build confidence, curiosity, and long-term success in math.

Our Commitment
Born from the urgency to recover math learning after COVID-19, The Math Yogis was created by educators who believe equity and excellence must go hand in hand.
