Math, seen differently.
For the student who has been made to feel that they're “just not a math person.” Together, we rebuild the foundation — and the confidence — that makes math feel like theirs.
“Everyone has something special to offer this world. I want to work with your child to unlock that something special.”
Most tutoring acts as a bandaid.
This isn't that.
Most tutors teach to the next test. Selam rebuilds grade 7–9 fundamentals so grade 10–12 actually works — no cracks, no collapsing when pressure hits.
Memorized shortcuts often fail because they are unreliable. Selam teaches students to trust their own reasoning, rooted in deep understanding — the only skill that transfers to every future problem, in and out of the classroom.
Selam doesn’t believe in rushing through content simply to meet a societal deadline. Working at the pace of the student is key — there is no “too slow” or “too fast” when it comes to quality learning.
Works with what your student already has.
While teaching the math content is key, Selam also emphasizes the importance and value of soft skills. This is best done by building on the skills your student already possesses, whether they realize it or not.
We want to express our immense gratitude for all your help over the past few years. Our son has gained so much confidence in Math and he has become a better student under your guidance.
Thank you for being the coolest math teacher I have ever had! I will always remember the definition of a function thanks to your vending machine reference. You have helped me soooo much this year and made math so much fun and understandable.
Usually when I finish a class, I immediately forget everything I learned, but your class is probably the only one I’ve actually retained something from. I think I’ll use what you taught me for the rest of my life. So anyway I just want you to know that we all see the care you put into your teaching.
I wanted to say that you’re genuinely the best teacher I’ve had throughout my whole schooling. I definitely had a real hard time in a lot of school settings, and I found that not only the material and the way you taught the material was amazing, but you’re understanding and the fact is, you were able to connect to us on our level.
