My eldest daughter started receiving math tuition last year because she was struggling. When we tried to help her at home it nearly always ended in frustration and shouting. She started going to OpMath once a week, and it has been wonderful. Her math skills, and her confidence in herself, have improved so much. She rarely needs help with math homework at home anymore. The tutors there are always friendly and polite, and Mehr is very responsive. I highly recommend this place!

I have been bringing my children to Mehr and her team for over two years. It is a professional operation - responsive and great with kids. The progress and advancement I've seen makes the tutoring well worth the investment!

We've explored several math programs in the area for my son, but OPmath truly stands out. He genuinely enjoys attending the classes and appreciates the personalized 1:1 attention he receives. Mehr is incredibly thoughtful, taking the time to understand each student's unique needs and adjusting the lessons and homework accordingly. My son views OPmath not just as a place to learn, but as a community where he hopes to mentor younger students when he's in high school. It's been a wonderful experience for him!

Opmath has been amazing for our kid Arjo. He has gotten much more confident on his abilities and his mental math capacity has grown a lot. He loves going to OpMath, working with Mehr. I am not a fan of tutoring places in general, but this place does not feel like a tutoring place, looks like a bunch of kids hanging out and older kids helping younger ones.

I can't recommend OpMath highly enough. We've tried multiple different tutoring agencies and individuals and hands down, Mehr and her team are the best! When Mehr started working with our student we saw an immediate change in confidence and enthusiasm for Math resulting in stellar results.

We love Op Math. I work at a Google company and I looked up “math tutoring” in a parent forum and a deluge of opinions were returned. Clearly a topic of great interest! Op Math stood out. I was drawn to how fellow parents described the Op Math teachers and how resoundingly effective others said the tutoring work had been. As the mother of two young daughters I also appreciated that this was a women owned small business.

My daughters don’t shy away from giving me a brutal review. What about Op Math? They say “it’s perfect.” They appreciate the “nice teachers,” the quiet, the skylights, the simple snack, they both say it’s easy to do math there, that they can focus. And “I like how the teachers talk to me.” Both have taken to Op Math as part of their regular activities 1-2x a week. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, they want to keep going.

My kids are young, in elementary school, and sure their speed and confidence with computation has improved here, but their self-identity as math people is what feels worth the endless investment as a parent. They now talk about math as something that grows and changes as you get older. They see teenagers coming in with “really big books that are full of complicated problems that they figure out with Mehr.” It’s not unlike how they report on sightings of local teens consuming boba. Equally cool. They feel very much a part of the Op Math vibe sitting there in pigtails diligently working on an activity book with animals and basic fractions adjacent to a teen working on derivatives in AB Calculus material.

Op Math feels like a gift to my daughters that I wish I could go back to my own childhood to have had. A place where they feel involved and supported, where it is easy to focus, where questions are welcome and explanations are kind and clear. Where the math culture is not daunting or competitive but warm and inclusive. A place where women doing math and teaching math is an everyday matter. I wish every kid could have all of this.

My daughter said to me “maybe if I get really good at math I could open a place like that too” and it made my night. ❤️
This was said after my girls were talking about how everyone there was really friendly and smiling. They also said that it felt light and airy, cute, with good snacks. Many of their friends go to math centers for a while now and they all talk about how they hate it which is why I hadn’t signed them up for anything. My girls always felt it would be a punishment if I sent to a center for not doing well in school. It’s such a relief to hear her talk positively about her capability in math especially since starting middle school.

My child attends OpMath, and we have had a great experience. His foundation has strengthened, and he has developed a good love for learning. All the tutors are amazing and their teaching style is very student age appropriate.

Highly recommend!
