Our Story
Founders and owners Kimberly Grant & Dawn Brown started Math-A-Matics Tutoring with the goal of bridging the gaps and eliminating the commonly stated difficulties associated with the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Oh how we truly LOVE math; however, all too often we hear the complete opposite when surveying a room. Math is just like a puzzle; all of the pieces fit together but if you are missing one, it is just not complete. Hence you just have to get ALL the pieces together. Our love of math inspires us to help elementary, middle, and high school students in the greater Houston area understand math and succeed in class.
STEM is the answer and foundational piece needed to help students determine how to use what they know to solve problems beyond what the eye can see. Too few students pursue expertise in STEM fields or even see STEM disciplines as the ladder to their future careers simply due to a lack of exposure that is relatable and relevant. They simply don’t see where they fit in. From their very own testimonies, Kimberly and Dawn credit much of their success to their early exposure to STEM and strong foundation in mathematics starting as early as elementary school through programs like SECME, Upper Bound, which led to attending Booker T. Washington High School for the Engineering Professions and ultimately earning their engineering degrees from the Prairie View A&M University, Texas A&M University, and University of Oklahoma.
“In a world of innovation and technology that’s becoming increasingly complex, where success is driven not only by what you know but by what you can do with what you know.”
