“Working with RSE has been a transformative experience for the students and teaching staff at TEL HI Neighborhood Center. RSE helped us integrate their diagnostic tool into how we teach our students and provided extremely valuable guidance and suggestions along the way. The results? Simply amazing with student comprehension of math skills improving by upto 65% and with all students who participated expressing a dramatic improvement with their comfort level in solving math problems. RSE is now a foundational piece of our math curriculum.” ...Show less

"Ready Set Excel worked closely with our college success team and led the way in developing the first math readiness program in any local college success organization. RSE's diagnostics examined core fundamentals for subjects including pre-calc, stats, math for science, and algebra 2 for each student and provided detailed reports and individualized recommendations. Students gained access to a comprehensive guide and hours worth of learning materials the RSE team created to help strengthen skills in core subjects like polynomials, algebraic equations, and integers. With our cohort of students attending top aerospace engineering programs and nursing programs across the country and many others pursuing business, political science, or animal sciences with several UCs and CSUs, all of our students entered college with a better understanding of key resources to access, math classes to enroll in, and strategies to strengthen fundamentals for their respective institutions and majors. I am truly appreciative of RSE's student-centered philosophy." Show less

"Ready.Set.Excel's founders are committed to math equity" Show more
"With all of the math support options out there, it's helpful to know that RSE is more than just a math assessment. The RSE diagnostic helps students (and their teachers and parents) understand missing math knowledge, and makes a plan to address the learning gaps. Ready.Set.Excel's founders are committed to math equity and to ensuring that math becomes a tool students can use in their everyday lives." Show less

Thank you, Ready.Set.Excel! Show more
Thank you, Ready.Set.Excel! Our math readiness for chemistry placement was seamless, supporting the needs of all students by suggesting the course that was mathematically, conceptually, and appropriately challenging!" Show less
Sharon Sikora, Teacher, Sacred Heart Prep
The idea for Ready.Set.Excel began with three parents and a high school science teacher. Each school year, the teacher witnessed the impact missing math concepts had on students’ success in the classroom. The parents, engineers, experienced first hand the importance of math for success in STEM careers. All understood that a common issue was holding students back from succeeding in math and science: gaps in understanding key math concepts taught in elementary and middle school.
We partner with educators to identify and fix gaps in foundational math that are holding students in school and community college back. Demanding schedules in high school and college prevent teachers from going back and addressing earlier gaps. Students that participate in our programs leave with improved math skills, and more importantly, increased confidence in their math ability.
