About Mr. Nerd Classroom

I grew up in classrooms where brilliance was common, but opportunity was rare.

Where one teacher stood in front of fifty students and tried their best to make math make sense to every child — while time, resources, and pressure worked against them.

Some kids got it. Some kids didn't.
And once you didn't, you were left behind.

I remember seeing the difference between those who had tutors and those who didn't. Not because one group was smarter, but because one had support — the kind that listened, explained, and gave them a second or third or fourth chance.

The rest were left to guess, memorize, or give up.

I never forgot that.

Years later, I found myself working in a world powered by numbers — formulas, models, data, decisions. I had access to tools, teams, systems that made complex math not just possible, but powerful. And all I could think was:

What if students everywhere had this kind of support early on?

What if a child in Lagos, or Kano, or Atlanta, or Nairobi could get the kind of help that made them say, "I actually get this now"?

What if no child ever again had to feel stupid in a math class?

That is how Mr. Nerd was born.

Mr. Nerd is a voice-based AI math tutor built to feel human. You talk to it, and it talks back. You ask a question, and it explains. You make a mistake, and it doesn't judge — it just helps you try again. It teaches, adapts, encourages, and walks at your pace.

It is built for students who feel lost.
It is built for teachers who are overwhelmed.
It is built for parents who don't know how to help.
It is built for communities who have been told, over and over again, that great education is not for them.
Mr. Nerd says, "Yes it is."

We designed Mr. Nerd to align with real national curriculums — WAEC, NECO, BECE, SAT, AP, Math Kangaroo, Common Core — and we built it to scale: students in grades 3 through 12 (US), JSS1-SSS3 (Nigeria), JHS1-SHS3 (Ghana), anywhere in the world, can use it with just a phone or laptop.

If a teacher wants to assign a lesson before class
Mr. Nerd helps the students prepare.

If a parent sees their child struggling
They can use the parent dashboard to assign extra support.

If a student wants to learn something on their own
They don't need to wait — they just ask.

Behind the scenes, Mr. Nerd gathers insights: who's struggling, who's progressing, what needs to be re-taught, and what's finally clicking. So teachers and parents are not guessing — they know, and they can respond.

This is not just a product. This is a fight for equity.

This is for the child who sits quietly in class pretending to understand because they are too embarrassed to say they don't.

This is for the teacher who stays up at night wondering how to reach every student, even when time won't let them.

This is for the girl who wants to be an engineer but is told math "isn't for people like her."

This is for the boy who failed twice and started to believe he is the problem.

This is for the belief that where you are born should never determine what you can become.

We've started with schools in Nigeria, but this is not just about Nigeria. This is global.

Mr. Nerd is for any child, in any classroom, in any country, who deserves a shot at mastering math and unlocking their full potential. From Lagos to London, Kaduna to Kentucky, we are building a movement — one lesson, one student, one breakthrough at a time.

We are just getting started.

If you are a teacher, a parent, a student, a believer, a sponsor, or someone who remembers what it felt like to be left behind — we want you with us.

Mr. Nerd is not just a tutor.

It is a second chance.
It is a guide.
It is a promise.

That no child is ever too far behind to catch up.

And no dream is ever too big to reach.
