Who we work with

Built for college students. Trusted by parents of high schoolers.

Primary

College students

You're halfway through the semester, the curve is flattening for everyone else, and your office hours aren't cutting it. We'll work through your actual coursework with someone who's taught the class.

  • Get unstuck on the proofs and problem sets you're actually being graded on
  • Targeted prep for midterms, finals, and qualifying exams
  • Real understanding — not just enough to pass the next quiz
Also for

High school students & parents

Your student deserves instruction from someone who has actually taught the material, not a college junior reading from a script. We build foundations that hold up through AP exams and into college.

  • Foundations that survive the jump to college math
  • AP Calculus, AP Computer Science, SAT/ACT math
  • Credentialed educators — not anonymous marketplace tutors
Why Makini

The difference is who's on the other end of the call.

01 · Instructors

Faculty, not freelancers

Every session is led by someone who has stood in front of a college classroom and taught this exact course. Years of pedagogy, not a side hustle.

02 · Selection

A small, vetted team

We're not a marketplace. Every instructor is hand-picked for subject mastery and teaching ability — the two skills that rarely come together.

03 · Format

One-on-one, every time

No group sessions, no shuffled tutors. You work with the same instructor through your course so they can build on what you learned last week.

04 · Logistics

Online and flexible

Book sessions that fit around lectures, labs, and life. Sessions run on standard video tools — no software to install, no friction.

How it works

From inquiry to first session in under a week.

Step 01

Tell us what you need

Send a short inquiry: your course, your textbook, what's hard. Takes about a minute.

Step 02

We match you

You'll hear back from us within 24 hours with the instructor best suited for your subject.

Step 03

Book your first session

Pick a time that fits. The first session is about meeting and setting goals — no commitment.

Step 04

Keep going, as needed

Most students book a recurring weekly slot. You can pause, change frequency, or stop anytime.

Ready to start

Book your first session.

Your first session is a 30-minute conversation. You'll meet your instructor, walk through what you're working on, and decide together whether we're a fit.

  • No long-term commitment
  • Cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before
  • Match guaranteed within 24 hours
Common questions

Things students and parents ask us.

No — all sessions run online over video. This lets us work with students anywhere and makes scheduling easier around classes and labs. You'll need a laptop or tablet with a working camera and microphone, plus a stable internet connection.

Payment is handled per session through our booking system. We accept all major credit cards. For students booking weekly, we offer 4-session and 8-session packages at a small discount.

Yes. When you inquire, tell us the course name, your school, and your textbook. We'll match you with an instructor familiar with that material so the first session doesn't get spent figuring out which conventions your professor uses.

You can cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before a session for a full refund or credit. Cancellations within 24 hours are charged the session fee, since your instructor has set aside that time.

Every instructor holds an advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in their subject and has taught at the college level. We personally interview every instructor and watch them teach before they meet a student. We say no to the majority of tutors who apply.
