We are looking for driven, innovative, patient-focused individuals to join our team as we reinvent the care and tools available to neurodiverse families.

Descartes Learning Club is a boutique premium math enrichment program that offers individualized, social, and in-person after-school math classes through a tiny class size of 2-4 students, expert instructors, and a rigorous and personalized curriculum.
Our world-class advisors include Lexing Ying, a professor of mathematics at Stanford University, and Xiaomin Chen, former coach of the Chinese IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad) team, which recently won numerous international gold medals.
Please learn more about us at this link and view our customers’ testimonials here: https://www.descarteslearningclub.com/testimonials
Our differences are:
Our tiny class size of 2-4 students, enabling individualized teaching: We group students at similar math levels in classes of 2-4 students. Their learning experience is fundamentally more productive and enjoyable than in larger classes due to the 1:1 Socratic dialogs they enjoy investigating math while benefiting from individually calibrated challenges and collaborative peer learning.
Curriculums and pedagogy that develop problem-solving minds and a love for learning mathematics: Using evidence-based research and time-tested best practices, we teach math abstraction and problem-solving strategies beyond calculation. We also introduce the beauty of mathematics through a rich mix of problems, puzzles, and games.
Compassionate and rigorously trained expert instructors: We interview >50 applicants for each instructor we hire. Our instructors have a background in math or related fields, a passion for educating children, and experience teaching math or STEM subjects. We further train them on the latest math teaching best practices using our rigorous training program and regularly coach all of our instructors to ensure the highest quality.
