A mentor who does
this for a living —
not between classes.
MetaMinds pairs your child with one dedicated tutor — a working engineer or scientist, not a grad student filling hours — who builds a personalized plan, sends session notes after every session, and tracks skill growth you can actually see. SAT & ACT, AP classes, K–12 math, coding, and robotics.

Every Session Leaves a Trail You Can See
Most tutoring disappears the moment the session ends. Ours doesn't — every session, skill, and assignment lives in one place for you and your family.
One Mentor, Not a Rotation
Your child is matched with a dedicated tutor who stays with them — not whoever happens to be free that week.
Session Notes, Every Time
What was covered, what to review, what's next. Posted to the parent and student portal after every single session — no exceptions.
Skill Tracking, Not Just Grades
Algebra, geometry, and trig aren't the same skill. We track mastery skill-by-skill, so you know exactly what's solid and what still needs work.
Homework With Real Feedback
Assigned after each session and graded by your tutor — not an answer key, and not busywork.
Direct Parent Updates
Updates come from the person who actually taught the session, not a form email on a schedule.
K–12 Through College, One System
Students can stay with MetaMinds from elementary school through AP exams and beyond — same tutor relationship, same tracked history, no starting over.
Meet the Tutors Who Built This
Every tutor here has a real job in the subject they teach, plus years of actual teaching experience. That combination — not a resume with a GPA on it — is the whole hiring bar.
Jose Falconi-Cavallini
CEO & Co-Founder · CS & SAT/ACT Tutor
Jose founded MetaMinds after years as a professional tutor at Revolution Prep, where he saw firsthand how much families were overpaying for results they could get better — directly from the tutor. A CS graduate from UC San Diego, he built this platform so students get elite instruction without the corporate markup.
Emma Brugman
Co-Founder · ML, Data Science & SAT/ACT Tutor
Emma brings neuroscience, machine learning, and software engineering together to help students understand how they learn — and how to learn faster. She designs curriculum grounded in how the brain actually processes information, making complex topics click.
Johan Falconi-Cavallini
Co-Founder · Engineering & Math Tutor
Johan brings a civil engineering mindset to every session, helping students build real problem-solving skills from the ground up. His strength is making abstract math and physics concepts concrete through the lens of how real structures and systems are designed.
Roberto Medina
R&D / Design Engineer & STEM Tutor
Roberto works as an R&D and design engineer and brings that real-world perspective into every session. Students learn not just how to solve problems, but how engineers actually design and iterate on solutions — building skills that transfer far beyond the classroom.
Alan Martinez
Hardware Validation Engineer & STEM Tutor
Alan is a practicing hardware validation engineer who teaches students how electronics and embedded systems actually work in industry. From circuit design to robotics programming, he helps students bridge the gap between textbook theory and professional engineering.
Christian Tapia
Mathematics & CS Tutor · MBA Candidate
Christian holds a B.S. in Mathematics–Computer Science and an M.S. in Business Analytics from UC San Diego, and is currently pursuing his MBA at Georgia Tech. He specializes in mathematics, programming, and data-driven problem solving — helping students build analytical and coding skills grounded in both engineering and business.
Our Mission
“Between us, we've tutored thousands of hours for companies that charged families $200/hr and paid the tutor a fraction of it. MetaMinds is what we built once we could do it our way — direct to your tutor, built around your kid, not a script.”
