What's the biggest challenge facing your type of business, and how are you approaching it? According to our experience, our local kids are very talented; however, they are not challenged enough with a math curriculum. Teachers at the schools with all their good intentions do not have time to challenge each kid from their levels they are in. A lot of parents do not know that their kids may be falling behind compared to their peers from other parts of the world. Down the road, students may face a difficult time with math classes at college, and eventually in finding jobs in the global job market. The hardest challenge is to convince parents there is a problem, and the more quickly they address it, the more likely they will see excellent results. Using free consultations, solving one problem free of charge for any student every 24 hours, and offering free Intelligent Math Testing, we are trying to overcome the challenge.

What's the biggest change would you like to see in the business climate in this area? We hope local school districts, educational institutions and community colleges will see us as partner in education and will take advantage of our free workshops and services. We are trying to enhance their efforts to make their difficult task a little easier.
