Our Philosophy
Our Math Philosophy
Learn Like a Genius, Grow Like Yourself
​Learn Like a Genius, Grow Like Yourself:
At CYA Solutions, we know that genius doesn’t show up in just one form, and growth doesn’t run on a clock. Our son was solving college-level equations at Portland State in 8th grade. Our daughter didn’t fall in love with math until university, where she developed her own system for statistics so impactful, she was hired to tutor graduate students. Two kids. Two wildly different timelines. Same result: confidence, clarity, and deep pride in their own learning.
Our Chess Philosophy
Lead With Fun, Learn With Purpose
Chess is first and foremost a game; the king of games. At CYA Solutions, we lead with fun, because when students are having a great time, they engage more deeply, take more risks, and grow faster. We bring the drama, the strategy, and the laughter to every session, making chess feel like the exciting mental adventure it truly is. Excitement isn’t a side effect, it’s a strategy. By framing chess as bold, brilliant, and fun, we inspire kids to keep coming back for more, building confidence one move at a time.
