All services provided through our website are completely remote, so a stable internet connection is required.

For the best experience possible, a web-connect camera and microphone are necessary to ensure efficient communication during the session. A high-speed internet connection is also recommended to minimize connection issues. Sessions are typically conducted via Zoom, but Skype, FaceTime, and Google Meet are all feasible alternatives at the request of the student. The instructor will share live writing from a tablet as needed. Students are not required to have the same capability.

If you need support in maths or stats but don’t currently have the ability to connect with video and sound, consider subscribing to our YouTube channel or joining us on Patreon!

In keeping with our growth mindset, we would never judge students based on their level of achievement. By understanding each student’s experience, we can work together to identify and address barriers to success that the student is experiencing. Once these barriers are removed, fundamentals can be processed and applied more readily and productive study habits can be built. Eventually, struggling students find that they can really achieve, and as they experience more success, their self-efficacy rises with it.

Sometimes, people get the impression that advanced students don’t need support to reach their goals. This is symptomatic of a fixed mindset. Whether your goal is to excel in your class or to excel beyond your class, the right support can get you there.

Students can receive guidance in setting and reaching long-term goals related to mathematics and science, learning how to apply mathematics in personal or professional life, and learning other topics that are not available to them in their current academic environment. If you really want to understand your potential and the potential that mathematics and statistics offer, you will be well supported at Mabuhay Maths!

For some students and parents, it’s not so much the content as it is the organization and integration of academics into the rest of life’s chaos that’s difficult. Consultations provide an opportunity to openly discuss your situation, apparent or known barriers to success, and a concrete plan for how to achieve academic goals. This often involves an honest discussion about study habits and behaviors that may or may not be limited to scholastics.

Need help searching for college and applying to college? We can support you in finding the right schools and working through the application process with our consulting services. Depending on your needs, this can include support with writing college essays, scholarship searching, applying for scholarships, applying for financial aid, and answering other questions you may have about finding and choosing a college.

Others may require less time to ask and discuss their maths and stats questions, or perhaps just seek confirmation about the work they are already doing. Great work! A consultation will provide time for these services without the need to purchase additional coaching or tutoring. Consultations are also a great option for students who want to focus on their overall academic tenacity, or for academically tenacious students who are already operating more independently, but enjoy coming to Mabuhay Mathematics where their success will always be celebrated!

Several different students prefer a 2h session to 1h, and the reasons are quite varied! Students may need the additional session time in order to…
– process new concepts and skills at a more comfortable pace
– spend dedicated time addressing a certain type of problem or problems (e.g. word problems)
– work through more complicated and more advanced problems (some maths problems take one page or more to solve!)
– address more advanced topics or make real-world connections that are not being tested in school
– solve a larger quantity of problems with guidance in a single session
For comprehensive standardized test prep, I almost always recommend the 2h tutoring sessions unless the student has already demonstrated a high level of academic tenacity and consistent use of advanced study habits.

You can subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay engaged with mathematics and statistics content, uploaded regularly. We plan to cover a wide variety of topics, so if there is specific content you want to see, please let us know!

Our Patreon is also available for students who prefer a monthly subscription for exclusive videos, notes, slideshows, worksheets, and access to weekly Q&A sessions with Justin! Subscriptions range from $3 to $20 per month depending on the content you want to access.

We also host free remote events where we introduce our fundamental study habits and teach students and parents about common standardized tests (like SAT®* and ACT®*). For more information about remote events open to the public, subscribe to our newsletter! (Don’t worry, we won’t email you too much, and you can unsubscribe at any time!)
