02 — Math Studio
Year-round mastery-based math support. Not a course — a studio.
Year-Round · Level-Placed · Small Group
A different kind of math support.
Math Studio is an ongoing academic lab for middle and high school students — placement-based, mastery-first, and designed for students who need more than a worksheet to actually understand math. Inspired by the best of Mathnasium, RSM, and Singapore Math, but built for the rigor of high school and beyond.

How it works
Placement by level. Every student starts with a placement conversation. We build from where they actually are, not where their grade says they should be.
Year-round and flexible. No fixed cohort start. Flexible recurring schedule — monthly plans, in-person or hybrid.
Small, focused groups. Students work at their own level. Instructor circulates, adapts, and pushes strong students further.
Parent progress updates. We report on mastery milestones, gaps closed, and next targets.
03 — Coaching & Strategy
One-on-one academic planning and direction.
Not a course. A relationship.
Academic coaching is for students who need more than instruction — they need a plan, a system, and someone who holds them accountable. This is strategic, personal, and ongoing.
Academic roadmap and course selection strategy
Study systems, planning habits, and deep work frameworks
Goal-setting, accountability, and weekly check-ins
College readiness — timeline, positioning, and prep

The Prep House difference
Not just better grades. Better students.
The difference between students who thrive and those who plateau usually isn't intelligence — it's structure, confidence, and the right environment. We've been building that since 2004.
Small groups
Real instructor attention, not a room of 30.
Mastery-first
We don't move on until students get it.
Visible output
Essays, projects, and scores to point to.
Parent insight
Progress updates and roadmap calls built in.
What students leave with
01
An academic identity that doesn't depend on the teacher
Study systems, self-direction, and the habit of following through
02
Sharper test performance — without the grind
Strategy and structure beat volume. We teach students to work smarter.
03
Real skills: coding, AI fluency, clear writing
Not just for college apps. For the world they're entering.
04
Confidence with hard problems
The kind that shows up in interviews, classrooms, and high-stakes moments.
05
A clearer two-to-four-year direction
Course selection, extracurricular fit, and admissions positioning.
From families we've worked with

My son went from avoiding math to genuinely enjoying it. By the end he was helping classmates. They adapt to the student instead of repeating the same explanation louder.

About Prep House
A more serious kind of academic support.
Built for families who want more than homework help. We help students build skills, systems, confidence, and direction — led by a founding team of educators, counselors, and academic mentors.
Our story
Twenty years of coaching. One studio to house it all.
Prep House was founded by a team that has spent two decades building academic programs and coaching high-achieving students across the Bay Area — across multiple institutions, programs, and communities.
We built Prep House because the Bay Area deserved one premium, community-rooted studio that combines test prep, math mastery, coding, AI literacy, writing, coaching, and mentorship — designed for ambitious families who want more than a franchise tutoring center.
Tutoring delivers answers. Prep House builds capability, judgment, and habits that outlast any course.
—
Confidence comes from structure and practice
Not from being told you're smart. From doing hard things repeatedly and getting measurably better.
—
Peer environment shapes who students become
Who you learn alongside matters as much as what you're learning.
—
AI literacy is no longer optional
Real, practical fluency — not as a buzzword, but as preparation for the world students are entering.
—
Strong students deserve mentorship too
Prep House is for ambitious students — not only those who are behind.
Founding Team

Educators, counselors, and community builders — with two decades of combined experience placing students into top universities.

Math Studio
Year-round mastery-based math support. Placement by level. Progress by design.
Math Studio is an ongoing academic lab for middle and high school students — not a fixed course with a start and end date. Students are placed by level, supported in small groups, and move forward when they've truly mastered the material.

What Math Studio is
Math Studio is a small-group academic lab where students receive targeted, mastery-based math instruction at their actual level — not their grade level. It's inspired by the best elements of Mathnasium, the Russian School of Mathematics, and Singapore Math, but built for the rigor of high school coursework and beyond, with a premium environment and genuinely adaptive instruction.
Unlike a fixed-cohort course, there is no set start date. Families enroll, complete a brief placement, and begin within days. Students attend on a flexible recurring schedule and are supported as long as they need — week after week, semester after semester.
Who it's for
Students who are falling behind in school math and need to close real gaps
Students who are keeping up but not truly understanding — passing but not confident
Strong math students who want to stay ahead or accelerate their track
Students preparing for the SAT/ACT math sections with structured support
Students in AP Calculus who need reinforcement alongside their class
Supported levels
Students are placed by level after a brief intake conversation — not by grade or school year.

How the instruction works
Placement first
Every student starts with a placement conversation. We find the exact level where they're solid — not where their grade says they should be.
Mastery before advancement
We don't move on until the student genuinely understands. Fluency is built before complexity is added.
Explanations adapt
If an explanation isn't working, we change the explanation — not the student. Different students need different entry points into the same concept.
Strong students are extended
Students who master material quickly aren't left idle. They get challenge problems, harder applications, and opportunities to deepen understanding.
