PrepBox Math Centre

A math centre, from home · Grades 3–12

Your child, in Min’s math class. Never stuck, always seen.

A small online class, twice a week. A table of classmates, every line by hand, and help drawn right on the page.

Two weeks free, then $99 a month. Or a tutored class, where Min teaches a small group, from $145.

Tonight's session

Forty-five minutes in Min’s class.

The same rhythm every time, so your child knows exactly what to do. Uni, the explainer built into PrepBox, is there the moment they’re stuck.

No videos to sit through. She writes every line herself.

  • 1The real PrepBox app. Follow Ruby through one session.
  • 2Like a game, on purpose. Here’s why.
  • 3Characters, not cameras. Your child picks one; no faces, ever.

Why a classroom you can see

Kids work harder when they can see each other working.

In a real centre, focus is catching. A video call loses that, so we built a room where kids can see each other work.

On a video call

  • A grid of faces, the work out of sight
  • A stuck child waits, unnoticed
  • A camera on your child

In Min’s PrepBox class

  • Friends’ pencils moving, live
  • Cheers and tips from tablemates
  • A character instead of a camera

Ruby’s table, live

  1. Ruby’s table at work, pencils moving all around her.
  2. Ruby gets stuck on x + 2 = 18. Uni circles the + 2 on her page and asks, “What did you multiply by?”
  3. Ruby fixes the line herself, x + 6 = 18, and Maya cheers her on.
  4. Leo has been stuck a while, so Min comes over to help him.
  5. Kai watches a short lesson on the question Kai is on.

3.  Solve 3(x − 2) = 15

Something changed between line 1 and line 2. Can you find it?

Uni, PrepBox’s explainer, a small blue unicorn, asking a question

Meet Uni

Explanations your child can see.

A stuck child doesn’t wait for the teacher. Uni, the explainer we built into PrepBox, draws the idea right on their work.

Built from Min’s own teaching

Shaped by a year of Min’s recorded lessons.

  • It draws the idea

    Bar models, area models, algebra steps, on their own work.

  • It reads their handwriting

    Starts from the line they wrote. Math only.

  • The picture, never the answer

    One question, then the pencil goes back to them.

  • Min sees all of it

    When a picture isn’t enough, Min steps in.

It asks one question, then stops. The next step is still your child’s.

Uni isn’t a chatbot you can download. We built it for this class.

The teacher

Whose class your child joins.

I’ve taught math for twenty years, to more than two thousand students. Great teaching matters, but I’ve learned it isn’t enough: kids sit up and engage when they’re with friends.

So I built PrepBox to teach a whole room the way I used to teach one student, with friends at the table and Uni explaining on every page while I go where I’m needed.

See how the session went, without the drive to a centre.

  • A call with Min every month.
  • Watch their page fill in, live, in our free parent app, MathPulse.
  • A map of what’s solid and what comes next.

Most trouble with algebra starts two years earlier. This is how we find it.

Ask for a tutored seat

Before you start

Your child needs an iPad and a stylus. We can lend them for a small deposit.

After two free weeks, you decide whether to stay. Nothing is charged unless you continue.

Not sure which plan?

Tell Min about your child. Min will tell you honestly.

Save your child a seat

Pick a session time that suits you. Study Hall starts with two free weeks.

Information desk

What parents ask.

Anything else, ask Min directly. Book a call.

Does my child get Min’s attention in a group?

Yes, where it matters. Min sees every line as it’s written and goes to whoever needs a person; Uni keeps everyone else moving. It isn’t one-on-one. It’s a small class where nobody sits stuck.

Why not just use ChatGPT at home?

A chat app answers whatever it’s asked, usually with the answer. Here your child is in a class: a set time, friends working beside them, Min seeing every line, and explanations that stop before the answer.

Does Uni use AI?

Yes, underneath, to read handwriting and choose what to draw. But it isn’t a chat app: math only, drawn on your child’s page, shaped by Min’s lessons, and Min sees everything it shows.

Why does it look like a game?

Kids work harder when they can see friends working, and they come back to places that feel like theirs. What they do there is real math, by hand.

Which grades?

Study Hall: Grades 3 to 8. Tutored classes: Grades 3 to 12.

What do classmates see?

A first name and a character your child colours in. Never a face, a camera, a last name or marks.

What does my child need?

An iPad and a stylus. We can lend them for a small deposit.

There’s a seat in Min’s class for your child.
