Is your child struggling with math? We find and fix the missing pieces.
Every math skill is built on an earlier one. The Level Up program finds the gaps in your child’s foundation, teaches those first and moves on only once your child has mastered each skill. You don’t have to be the math teacher.
See which skills are shaky, so the fixing starts in the right place.
What families tell us.
Level Up seems to understand where each of my kids needs help and gives them the right things to work on. But what I really like is that we’ve set up quests and rewards together, and it actually makes a big difference. I can see that they are learning and becoming more confident, but also that doing math has become much less of a struggle. For me, that’s probably the biggest thing.
I think Level Up has helped me a lot with math. I’ve been using it for a few months and I feel much more ready in class now. There are things that I understand much better than before. I’m more confident when we do math at school. I can really feel that I’ve improved.
As a middle school math teacher, I found the final feedback to be very helpful and accurate. The results seem on par with what he has learned this year and correctly identify gaps from previous years.
I also don’t really like math, but this made me like math a little more than I usually do. It’s way easier for me to do just by myself, and I don’t have to sit through an hour-long lesson in class just to have the same homework.
“Outstanding adaptive assessment… detailed parent-friendly reports… a thoughtfully designed adaptive math platform that prioritizes long-term understanding over short-term scores.”

You’ll know why it isn’t clicking.
Math builds on itself. If a skill from a few grades back never got solid, the topics that rest on it get harder.The assessment looks for that skill.
Fine in 3rd grade. Stuck in 5th.
Quick recall got your child through the early grades. Then the work started to depend on ideas that were never quite solid.
Homework takes hours and ends in tears.
Your child is putting in the effort and still isn’t making progress.
“I’m bad at math.”
Once a child believes it, every new topic seems to prove it.
A teacher has a whole class to get through the year, so the lesson moves on once most of the room is ready. If your child missed part of multiplication in third grade, there’s rarely time to go back for it, and two years later the trouble shows up in fractions. More fractions practice won’t fix that. Finishing the multiplication will. After that, division and fractions get easier.
Never fully learned. Division and fractions are built on it.
Harder than it should be, because it depends on multiplication.
This is the part you see.
of the children we assessed were at least one grade behind overall. A class has to move forward together, even when each child needs help with different skills. Based on children assessed through August 31, 2026, whose families chose to take the assessment. It doesn’t describe children in general.
You’ll get a plan to fix it.
A plain-language plan that shows which skills to fix and in what order.Practice starts at the bottom of the chain, not at the top.
- 01
Take the assessment
About 30 to 40 minutes, once. There’s no timer.
During the assessment- Real problems, not multiple choice
- No “right” or “wrong” after every question
- Can say “haven’t learned” instead of guessing
- Pause and pick up later
- 02
Read the report
What is solid, what needs work and where to begin.
Sample reportPrepared for Casey · Grade 8At grade pace, with one Grade 7 layer to firm up.
What is solidGrade 7 and 8 algebra moves largely in place.What needs workLinear equations with fractional coefficients.Two-step inequalities.
Practice with a reason to sit down.
You and your child pick a goal and a reward, then your child closes skills to reach it. Missing a day is never punished.A skill counts toward the goal only after your child has proven it.
- 01
Pick a goal and a reward together
You and your child pick a reward and how many skills it takes to earn it, then you both sign the promise.
- 02
Practice about 30 minutes a day
We suggest it five days a week, on a computer or tablet. That’s a suggested amount of practice, not a promise of any particular result. When your child gets an answer wrong, a worked solution comes up and the progress bar doesn’t drop.
Nothing to feel bad about- No leaderboards
- No streak penalties
- No countdown clocks
- No daily quotas
- 03
Each mastered skill moves the Quest forward
The Quest counts skills your child has mastered, not minutes spent, so time in front of the screen doesn’t earn the reward by itself.
You can see it working.
Every skill your child masters shows up in your dashboard and in a weekly email.A skill counts as mastered only after your child has solved the harder versions of it.
- The skill looks solid
- We’re confident in the evidence
- Enough problems seen
- Harder versions cleared
Closed skills come back for a quick check before your child forgets them, so they stay closed.
A month costs about what one tutoring hour does.
$49 a month for the whole program, against about $50 for one hour of private math tutoring.In one modeled example, Level Up saves about 11 months and $6,500 compared with twice-weekly tutoring.
One modeled example: a seventh grader about a year behind.
About 11 months and $6,500 saved, in this example.
This example is a seventh grader about a year behind, with a topic or two from sixth grade still causing trouble and a C on the latest math report card. It’s one example, not a forecast. Level Up’s cost is the cheapest way to pay for those months, on the 6-month plan. The tutoring bar is cut to fit, so it isn’t to scale. Check the calculator with your child’s numbers.
You have other options. Here is what they cost.
Level Up is $49 a month. Tutoring centers run $110 to $450 a month. A private tutor charges $25 to $80 an hour.Tutoring centers give your child scheduled time with an adult in the room. That may be the right choice for your family.
Per subject.
Plus an enrollment fee.
First 7 days free, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Varies by marketplace. It’s priced per hour, so it isn’t on the monthly scale above.
Kumon and Mathnasium are franchises, so each center sets its own price. Figures checked August 2026.

EndorsedQuestions parents ask.
- Everything, for $0: the assessment, the parent report and daily practice built from the report. You enter a card at signup so practice can start as soon as the report is ready, and nothing is charged until day 7.
- Yes, you enter it at signup. Nothing is charged that day. Before you enter it, we show you the exact amount and date of the first charge, and we email you both when the trial starts. If you cancel from the parent dashboard before day 7, you’re never billed. If you are charged and it turns out not to be a good fit, just email us and the 30-day money-back guarantee refunds your first payment in full.
- Most children take about 30 to 40 minutes, sometimes a bit longer for younger grades or when there is more reading. There are about 30 to 40 questions across five math domains and no timer. You can pause and come back.
- Every Common Core standard from kindergarten through 8th grade. The assessment moves through grade levels until it finds your child’s actual level. A child working two grades ahead gets credit for that, and a child with gaps three grades back sees those gaps in the report. The report reflects what the assessment found, not the grade label.
- A computer or tablet. The hands-on parts of the assessment and daily practice need more room than a phone screen has. The parent dashboard works on any device, phones included.
- We store data in the US and the EU. We collect only what we need to teach: your child’s first name, grade and practice history. We show no advertising, sell no data to third parties and share no children’s data with marketing platforms. Read our Privacy Policy.
- It takes a couple of clicks under Account in the parent dashboard. You can do it during the trial too. Cancel before day 7 and you are never charged.
