What programs does SOMATH offer?

SOMATH offers programs from grade 1 through 12: Little Newtons (K-2), Kid Einsteins (grades 2-4), Young Fermats (grades 5-8, including Pre-Algebra and Algebra Ignite), SHSAT Prep (grades 7-8), SAT Math Prep, Pre-Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, and AP Pre-Calculus. Every program is small-group (max 6 students) and teacher-led.

How is class size limited?

Every SOMATH class caps at 6 students. This is not a marketing number — it is the actual pedagogical constraint that makes real teaching possible. A teacher who cannot see every student's work in real time cannot give the feedback that develops problem-solving skill.

How much does each program cost?

Monthly tuition depends on the track: $246 for Little Newtons (K-2, 60-minute classes), $367 for Kid Einsteins (grades 3-5, 90-minute classes), $489 for Young Fermats (grades 5-8, 120-minute classes), $587 for SHSAT Prep, $640 for SAT Prep, and $800 for AP/Honors programs including AP Calculus, AP Statistics, and AP Pre-Calculus. One class per week; one-time $99 registration fee at enrollment.

Can I try a program before enrolling?

Every new family starts with a free 30-minute evaluation and a written diagnostic report — you keep the report whether you enroll or not. This gives you a real assessment of which program fits, without commitment.

Do students move between programs?

Yes. Placement is by demonstrated readiness, not just grade. A strong 5th-grader may move up to Young Fermats early; a student struggling with pre-algebra may stay in Kid Einsteins longer to build foundations. We reassess placement every semester and communicate any move with families.

What if my child needs to pause or cancel?

Every SOMATH membership includes up to 4 weeks of free pause per year and one free make-up class per month. Cancel any time with 15 days notice — no long-term contracts. The $99 registration fee is not refunded.

First and second grade are the years that decide whether a child grows up confident with numbers or quietly convinced that math “isn’t for them.” Little Newtons is built for these foundational learners who are ready to think, not just fill in worksheets.

Little Newtons (Grades 1–2): number sense up to 1,000, addition and subtraction fluency with regrouping, an honest first look at fractions and measurement, an introduction to multiplication and skip counting, and the language of word problems — then geometry, symmetry, data, and pattern reasoning as the year progresses.

The goal isn’t to race ahead a grade; it’s to make the foundation strong enough that Kid Einsteins, Young Fermats, and eventually the SHSAT have somewhere stable to land.

Number sense & place value to 100+

The upper-elementary years — 3rd and 4th grade — are where math either clicks or quietly slips away. Kid Einsteins is built for students ready to move past basic arithmetic into real problem-solving.

Kid Einsteins (Grades 3–4): multiplication and division fluency, fractions and decimals, ratio and percent reasoning, intro geometry, and structured multi-step word problems — the upper-elementary core that sets up a strong start in Young Fermats.

The goal is mastery, not exposure — the kind of structured word-problem work that pays off later on the SHSAT, SAT, and every standardized test in between.

Weekday Weekend

The middle-school years are where a quiet “I’m just not a math person” can take root for life, or where a student quietly, decisively, becomes one of the strongest math students in the grade. Young Fermats is built for middle schoolers who want depth, not just survival — offered in three sequenced levels so every student lands at the right entry point.

Young Fermats — Pre-Algebra (Grades 5–6): the algebra on-ramp. Integers, expressions, simple equations, ratio, proportion and percent — the bridge from arithmetic into symbolic math.

Young Fermats — Algebra I (Grades 7–8): linear equations and inequalities, systems, exponents and intro functions. The real start of high-school math, taught with the same rigor we’ve used for two decades preparing adults for the GMAT and GRE quantitative sections.

Young Fermats — Geometry & Trigonometry (Grades 7–8): angles, area, transformations, 3D solids, right-triangle trig and the unit circle — the conceptual approach, not formula-memorization.

The shift from arithmetic to algebra happens in a small group where no one falls behind silently.

The Specialized High Schools Admissions Test is the gateway to Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech, and the rest of New York City's specialized high schools. It's a high-stakes, time-pressured exam — and it rewards a very specific kind of quantitative reasoning.

That's exactly the reasoning we taught for two decades to adults sitting for the GMAT and GRE. Our SHSAT track is a dedicated program built around real past exams, section-level diagnostics, and weekly timed practice — with a year-round Wednesday cohort and a Summer Sprint paced to the late-October test. Most of our students gain 30+ points; many earn offers from their top-choice school.
