We used Fusion Math and several different tutors to help my son conquer some algebra and geometry challenges. Every tutor was really outstanding at breaking down complex issues in a clear way and taking the emotional issues out of the equation. Even more impressive given that all our sessions were remote. Mark Batho is absolutely a pro if you truly need the best. Great people, too! read more

Great, caring tutors. Fantastic results! My daughter ("M") loved the math tutor she had from 8th through 11th grade, but, come 12th grade, M decided to take "Honors Physics with Calculus" and "Honors Statistics" at the same time. She also wanted to bring up her math SAT score. Concerned that keeping up with M's classes would require too much work, her tutor recommended she switch to FusionMath (based here in Seattle). If you visit their website, you will see bios of all their current tutors. However, when I emailed the company to explain the situation, I said it would be great to get some recommendations from within the list. Mark Batho, the owner, emailed me back within 24 hours introducing himself and inviting me to speak on the phone, which we did shortly thereafter. He started out as a tutor himself, and it was clear from the start he was a very smart man and a highly committed educator. Although he said he had multiple tutors that could handle the job, he did recommend two, both of which were PhD candidates at UW in physics. M started with one shortly thereafter. They hit it off fabulously and M got A's in both of her honors math classes. Moreover, she raised her Math SAT score from 670 up to 730. M's tutor was personable, highly capable, and able to schedule evening and weekend hours, so M could do theatre in the afternoon after school. The owner, Mark Batho, is a delightful man and really seemed to care about how well M did. In total, I very strongly recommend FusionMath. (Fwiw, Mr. Batho also owns Uplift Writing - a writing tutoring company!) read more

We worked with Mark and his math and English tutors to make a final push for a target SAT score within 3 week's time. Our child worked with Sam (math) and Jennie (English) to brush up on refined SAT techniques that paid off handsomely on test day where we met our goal and then some. The tutors provided specific and tailored instructions based on past test results, were flexible in their availability and provide a recap of suggestions. Mark was following our child's path from behind the scenes and was responsive, helpful and supportive. High quality of tutors and tight business operations - highly recommend. read more

Our daughter wanted to raise her SAT score so she worked with Mark on the math section and brought her score up dramatically. Obviously we were all thrilled with that outcome. Even more significant for our daughter though, was the actual math Mark taught her. She has been a straight A student in Math since 7th grade but there were still some big gaps in the way she processed and thought about solving equations. I wish Mark could have been her math teacher for the last ten years! Our daughter enjoyed working with him and learned so much that will serve her in college and well beyond. Thank you Fusion Math! read more

Fusion Math did an outstanding job helping me son with the ACT test. In fact, he improved his score from 27 to 34. I will use this service again.Thank you! read more

Our tutor was amazing! He was prompt, flexible and relevant to my freshman and senior. My freshman struggled with honors geometry and the tutor turned him around. My senior, well he received a 5 on AP Cal and 4 on AP Physics C! Both kids loved him and worked well with him. read more

My son has had a great experience with tutoring at Fusion Math. He is able to schedule in-person or virtual appointments. His particular tutor, Alex. Has been very flexible, to include last-minute, late-night appointments. Having access to a tutor has helped my son maintain an A in pre-calculus. Thank you Alex and Fusion Math. I highly recommend Fusion Math. read more

The first time I called Fusion Math I was desperate for help for my high school student. She had a test the following day and was beside herself with worry. Mark worked with her that night and she got an A on the test. The tutors at Fusion Math are great!! It's one on one tutoring and every time my daughter leaves, she feels like she's got a grasp on the math they've worked on. She's currently got an A in math and she is so proud of herself. They will work with you, get your kiddo in when they need help, and they are caring and respectful of the students. My daughter loves working with Mark, I wish he was her regular math teacher. She says he is the first person who has been able to explain math to her in a way that things make sense. We have also had great luck with Cheryl. I don't know what we would do without Fusion Math. They are a blessing to us, and I am so grateful we found them. I highly recommend Fusion Math. They are a godsend. read more

We can not say enough about Fusion Math and we agree with the other top reviewers here. Our daughter is currently working with Gene, concentrating on SAT / ACT prep, and "small miracles" are beginning to happen as everything is now coming into clear focus for her. She even looks forward to going to her tutoring sessions because for the first time in her life, she actually feels great (and happy!) about FINALLY being able to understand simple to complex concepts (especially in math). Thank you Mark for all that you have brought to us, most of all, peace of mind! read more

Contacted Fusion Math recently, and spoke with Lisa to schedule a tutoring appointment for my high school son. Lisa was extremely professional, friendly and empathetic. Within a few days, my son met with Henry. Henry is wonderful! He put my son at ease, asked him insightful questions to determine how best to help- then gave him a very thorough hour-long lesson. The team at Fusion Math seems genuinely invested in the success of it's students. And, Henry is a great fit for a struggling high-schooler. Many thanks! Karen W. read more

Fusion Math has been a wonderful, highly qualified, professional and consistent resource for our middle school daughter and high school son over the past few years. Our son received top quality physics tutoring and instruction while navigating a very rigorous summer course in physics. Fusion Math's tutor made all the difference for success in this summer course. We had a daily tutoring session for a number of weeks where homework and test preparation was completed. Our daughter has had on and off weekly math tutoring sessions over the past 2 years. These sessions have helped her complete homework questions that were challenging and prepare for tests. Whether is was a routine weekly tutoring session or a very spontaneous request for a tutor due to an upcoming test, Mark and his staff have always been available and accommodating. I would highly recommend Fusion Math as a fantastic resource! read more

Very student-centered private coaching available to augment group classes. Super responsive client service, and feels like they really care about the outcome for every student. About a third of the path complete, so I'll add more once final results are in. But, the training style is very high level, ala college/grad school. read more

We are so happy with the SAT tutoring our daughter received from Fusion Math and from Uplift Writing. The tutors were thorough, persistent and patient. And our daughter worked hard. It all paid off - she raised her SAT scores 130 points! read more

Mark at Fusion Math runs a great program for math tutoring. We have been impressed with the easy access and high quality, professional tutors. They do a great job with middle school math and high school math. Mark is responsive to the needs of families seeking assistance and has been very accommodating with schedules. Highly recommend Fusion Math. read more

Mark and his team are excellent resources to help your student succeed. The SAT prep courses resulted in my son reach his top potential with a near perfect score on his first try for his PSATs. His team has also supported my daughter reach her top potential in math & science as well. I cannot say enough about the excellent team that Mark has. If you want your child to reach their top performance, send them to Fusion Math. He will also go out of his way to partner on other non-math/science courses to provide a holistic support model. read more

My daughter, Sophia, is a high school junior who was seeking some extra support and guidance as she navigated senior physics this year. She and we could not have been more pleased with the calm, thoughtful, consistent instruction she received from Ramsey at Fusion Math. Sophie actually looked forward to her early Saturday morning sessions - sometimes staying on and moving into questions about math. Really great contribution to the community and to the education of our kids - love what Mark is doing! read more

Fusion Math (and Mark the owner in particular) has a been a great help to our high schooler. The tutors at Fusion have a been able to calm and focus our student in the run up to finals. The staff is familiar with our local high schools' curriculum. The tutoring she's received has made a big difference. We've had a great experience at Fusion! read more

Mark and his staff have worked with our son throughout his high school years, and the results have been fantastic. As his after-school activities changed with each season, they were able to work with his schedule to keep his tutoring uninterrupted, and the weekend drop-in sessions provided an extra benefit on short notice. As the subjects changed, Mark would have someone who could step in with the specialized skills that matched our needs. And if you're looking for a strong score on the first try, I'd highly recommend the SAT Prep; BIG help. Thanks again Mark. read more

Mark rescued us by providing some intensive SAT math tutoring at Fusion for our daughter when she was in a panic about the SAT. Mark has very deep expertise about mathematics and knows how to teach the specific strategies needed for the college entrance exams. Mark is calm and encouraging to students, communicative with parents, and willing to individualize. read more

We moved to Seattle from NC last June. My then All-As student and 8th grader had just earned her first D of her entire school career in Algebra 1. We looked for a good tutor upon arriving and after talking with Mark the owner on the phone and via email, I felt good about Fusion Math. Her tutor Chloe asked for her 8th grade tests and then where she'd be going to school in the Fall, which was Roosevelt. The goal was to have her enter Algebra 1 in 9th grade with confidence, as clearly she didn't have any confidence in her math ability at the end of the prior year. Our daughter, who doesn't take coaching all that well, took to Chloe right away and actually looked forward to the summer tutoring sessions. She just got her first semester report card and was happy and proud of the A she earned in Algebra. I can not recommend Fusion Math enough. Smart, personable owner and staff who care and know how to explain math concepts and inspire good work from their students. read more
