The problem

Math apps don’t work. Tutors cost a fortune. Your child is falling further behind.

You’ve tried the apps, the videos, the after-school programs. But your child still freezes when they see fractions. Still can’t do long division without help. Still says “I hate math.”

The problem isn’t your child. It’s that no one has shown them exactly how to solve each type of problem, step by step, in a way they can follow on their own.

📱

Apps teach guessing

Gamified math apps reward speed over understanding. Kids learn to tap, not think.

💸

Tutors aren’t scalable

$40-80/hour for 1-on-1 help. That’s $2,000+ per semester — and the moment they leave, your child is stuck again.

📖

Textbooks skip steps

Traditional textbooks show one example, then throw 30 problems at students. The gap between “learn” and “do” is enormous.

The YouTeachYou method

Every problem has a matching worked example. Every single one.

No guessing. No gaps. Students see exactly how it’s done, then do it themselves — and check their own work.

See It

Study a fully worked example showing every step of the solution, clearly laid out.

Do It

Solve the matching practice problem using the same method you just studied.

Check It

Compare your work against the detailed answer. Catch mistakes immediately.

Crush It

Build real confidence through repetition. Each concept builds on the last.

★★★★★

Every page I’m thinking ‘Yep, great way to present the concept.’ The clearly modeled worked examples are extremely helpful. It teaches the stuff and leaves out the fluff!

★★★★★

My son began working with the books and hasn’t asked for any help. He’s definitely understanding it. The fact that the work is done on paper means he’s learning how to actually do math, not just click buttons.

★★★★★

This helps build confidence with the self-correction and review. It’s a lifesaver — my granddaughter learns better with these than school worksheets. An excellent support for math.

Meet the creator

Built by a 30-year math teacher who saw what was broken.

Steve Hare spent three decades in elementary and middle school classrooms watching students struggle — not because they couldn't learn, but because no one showed them how. When the pandemic hit, he threw out the textbooks and built YouTeachYou from scratch. His students scored in the top 2% of test scores in the state of New Jersey.

Tested with thousands of students ages 5 to 50. Refined until the test scores spoke for themselves. Now adopted by charter schools across the country.

Common questions

What ages is this for?

YouTeachYou has been tested with students from age 5 to 50. It works for elementary students building foundations, middle schoolers catching up, homeschool families, adult GED learners, and anyone who wants to finally understand math — not just memorize it.

Does my child need help to use these books?

No — that’s the whole point. Every problem has a matching worked example right next to it, plus a way to check their answer. Students work independently at their own pace. Parents consistently tell us their kids don’t ask for help.

How is this different from Khan Academy or other math apps?

Apps and videos teach passively — kids watch someone else do math. YouTeachYou puts pencil in hand and guides students through solving problems themselves, with a worked example for every single one. Research shows this active learning approach is dramatically more effective. Plus: no screens, no subscriptions, no distractions.

Which book should we start with?

Start with Book One: Basic Math Operations regardless of your child’s grade level. Mastery of basic operations is the foundation everything else builds on. Many students (and adults) have gaps here they don’t realize. The Foundations Bundle gives you the first four books at a savings.

Do you sell to schools?

Yes — YouTeachYou is already used in charter schools across the country. We offer bulk pricing for schools and districts. Reach out to us directly for institutional orders.
