Teaching is not a marketplace transaction.
Makini is a small, faculty-led tutoring practice built around one belief: the right teacher can change a student's relationship with a subject.
Premium rates. Rotating tutors. Supervised homework.
The services we tried kept passing students between people who were only one chapter ahead. What was missing was not another platform. It was real teaching.
“Knowing the subject and knowing how to teach it are different skills. Our instructors demonstrate both.”
Fewer instructors. Deeper relationships. Better questions.
Every session is led by someone who teaches at the college level.
Continuity turns isolated help into real academic momentum.
We choose depth, care, and accountability over an endless roster.
We build intuition first, then formalize it into confident work.
We grow by going deeper, not wider.
Faculty and lecturers we can personally vouch for.
Students continue with us through the course.
No groups, queues, or algorithmic handoffs.
Based in New York and available wherever students learn.
Bring us the course that feels impossible.
Meet an instructor, walk through what is not clicking, and decide together whether Makini is the right fit.
