LEarn To 'Think in Math'

Math in a Month

Math in a Month(TM) is the brainchild of Michael Surrago, who has privately tutored thousands of students ages 8-21.  Math in a Month(TM), a style of learning that starts out as a natural conversation, builds up basic skills, and then accelerates practice (and progress) after the initial knowledge foray has proven to succeed.

Math in a Month

Math in a Month(TM) emerged out of a desire to meet the needs of two rapidly growing niches in education, while meeting the needs of a third.

Math in a Month meets those needs by recognizing the common factor in all three groups: the need for condensed, engaging, potent study: learn more in less time.

After tutoring thousands of students of all ages, Michael created his unique "Math in a Month Sequence," an approach that goes against the grain of how math is presented by schools, teachers and popular media.  In our approach, you get:

  • Math that feels like conversation, not hieroglyphics.  Our students truly learn to think in math.
  • Tutoring that goes at your pace. Each lesson unfolds like a story, making learning interesting and fun.
  • Skills to pass any course or test, at any level, engagingly taught to you.

Math in a Month(TM) emerged out of a desire to meet the needs of two rapidly growing niches in education, while meeting the needs of a third.

Math in a Month meets those needs by recognizing the common factor in all three groups: the need for condensed, engaging, potent study: learn more in less time.

  • Homeschool Parents — those seeking alternative approaches to math instruction, either for more “big-picture” learning or to accompany a career/athletic pursuit
  • Ambitious learners — those seeking rapid advancement in math for their children (or themselves), aware of the career leverage gained from STEM-related degrees.
  • Catch-up learners — students who have tried other approaches — this program offers a visual approach, something real, accessible, and designed to help you catch up fast.

Unifying all of Michael's work are lessons that vertically leverage the student's existing visual, language, and cognitive skillset to do something genuinely interesting.  This approach yields a learning experience that comes much closer to true exploration than the typical school class; just think of the the difference between climbing a mountain and doing laps around a track.  (They both exercise your muscles: the latter is great for repairing one's gait, the former gives the view of what these legs can do.)


Michael's ultimate mission with Math in a Month(TM) is to produce a Kindergarten-through-Calculus curriculum palatable and learnable to the average 12 year old.  Check out his blog to learn more about that.  To learn about his non-math writings, including his non-math tutoring and tools for parents/educators click here.
