“A teaching coach uses it to develop a personalized learning plan... [to] help fill in the knowledge gaps in math.”
“Thinkster brings 21st century technology efficiencies to 19th century teaching methods.”
If you’ve already spent time and money on traditional tutoring, but math still sparks anxiety and low confidence… you're not alone. You don’t need more worksheets. You need a smarter approach.
Your child avoids homework — not because they can’t do it, but because they hate it.
You hear, "I’m just not a math person," and worry they’ve started believing it.
They get good grades, but breeze through assignments without feeling stretched.
You’ve tried helping — even hired tutors — but something’s still not clicking.
You’re not sure if they need catch-up, challenge, or just the right kind of support.
You’re not alone. And you don’t have to guess what they need next.
“I knew my daughter was capable of more — she was coasting. Thinkster gave her structure, stretch goals, and a sense of pride in her own progress.”
Endless worksheets. Weekly sessions. Slow progress.
You’ve seen it: your child is still stuck — and confidence is slipping away.
Thinkster is built differently. We flip the script with a daily, AI-powered plan that finally works. Our daily AI-driven tutoring fills the gaps faster — with real-time feedback, personalized learning paths, and expert tutors who actually adapt to your child’s pace.
Less time, less stress, and faster results. This is what better looks like.
Most parents think the answer is:
but feedback is delayed, so the same mistakes repeat.
they give practice… but not the right practice.
the nag, the monitor, the homework referee.
This is like trying to build a house by adding more bricks… without checking if the foundation is stable.
When progress isn’t visible, kids stop believing effort matters. That’s how “I’m not a math kid” gets locked in.
Whether your child is struggling, stuck in neutral, or ready for bigger challenges, one-size-fits-all tutoring won't get them there. Traditional tutoring moves too slowly for kids who are struggling—or lacks depth for those ready to accelerate. Weekly sessions can't catch gaps fast enough—or stretch gifted thinkers far enough. Thinkster’s daily adaptive coaching along with weekly 1:1 private tutoring sessions is built to meet your child exactly where they are—and take them further.
Hi, I’m Raj Valli. I’m a dad first—and I’ve always been a ‘systems’ person. I’m a certified Six Sigma Black Belt, which basically means I obsess over making progress predictable instead of leaving it to chance. For 20+ years I’ve built ‘no-guesswork’ systems for performance—first in business, then for my own kids’ learning.
My approach helped all three of my daughters reach big goals, including Ivy League admissions—but Thinkster isn’t about Ivy League. It’s about helping a child build real math mastery and confidence early, so doors stay open—whatever path they choose.
I built Thinkster because I couldn’t find a program that consistently did that: a system that gives the right next step, fast feedback from a real tutor, and progress you and your child can actually see - so confidence becomes automatic.
Our unique approach combines the best of both worlds: Caring, expert human tutors who understand your child's learning style with personalized AI analysis - the confidence loop most other tutoring programs never gives you.

Not just faster learning. Transformational momentum that lasts.
Parents who tried traditional centers like Kumon or Mathnasium were still left searching for more. They found it with Thinkster — and now, they’re seeing confidence and grades soar.
“Our child had become increasingly frustrated by the rote method employed by Kumon to build confidence. After looking for alternatives to Kumon Math instruction I came across Tabtor since renamed as Thinkster Math. We gave Thinkster a try and her enjoyment of math, and progress, returned. ”
“I was looking for an alternative to Kumon when my daughter was in first grade and am so happy that we found Thinkster! Our four-year old son is now also doing Thinkster and we are amazed with his progress. It is not a robotized app or program. Thinkster's worksheets are customized, based on the skill level and needs of the child."
“A fantastic, customized tutoring program that doesn't require driving to a center. Our tutor is communicative and responsive and always adjusting their assignments. Expensive but seeing good results. Three kids using, would highly recommend. Wish it went through high school!”
Whether your child needs a boost, a breakthrough, or a bold new challenge—Thinkster meets them where they are and takes them further.
