1-on-1 Mathematics & Science Tutoring · International School Students · Taipei
Premium 1-on-1 mathematics and science tutoring for Taipei's international school students. Foundation through high school, taught for genuine understanding of how each subject actually works.
Programs covering K-8 foundations, high school mathematics, high school sciences, and computer science. Every program is built around your child's school curriculum and matched to specialist faculty.
Weekly 1-on-1 sessions building mathematical reasoning, fluency, and problem-solving skills from elementary arithmetic through pre-algebra. Lessons align with your child's school curriculum and prepare them for the conceptual demands of high school mathematics.
Explore Mathematics K–8 →Foundational science instruction across life science, earth science, and physical science topics. We focus on building the questioning habits and conceptual frameworks that make high school biology, chemistry, and physics easier to learn well.
Explore Science K–8 →Computational thinking, programming, and software fundamentals from introductory coding through high school computer science. Curriculum spans block-based programming for younger students through Python, Java, and project-based work for high schoolers.
Explore Computer Science →Algebra I content as taught in international schools, calibrated to your child's school curriculum. We coach the structural reasoning Algebra I rewards, building the conceptual foundation rather than rote procedure, so students can recognize what kind of problem they're looking at and choose the right approach.
Explore Algebra I →Algebra II content as taught in international schools, calibrated to your child's school curriculum. We coach the abstract reasoning Algebra II rewards, working with functions, polynomial behavior, and the analytical fluency the next level of mathematics will assume.
Explore Algebra II →Euclidean geometry, proofs, transformations, and trigonometric foundations for students working through their geometry course. Coordinate geometry and proof-writing are taught with the rigor that prepares students for analytical work later in high school.
Explore Geometry →Functions, trigonometry, sequences, and the analytical habits that calculus assumes. We teach the conceptual structure of pre-calculus thoroughly, so students arrive at calculus prepared for the ideas, not just the algebra.
Explore Pre-Calculus →Cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and human physiology taught with depth and connection to real research. Students learn to think like biologists, asking how systems work rather than reciting names and definitions.
Explore Biology →Atomic structure, bonding, reactions, stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics. Chemistry is taught with the conceptual rigor it requires, and the patient practice with calculations that students need to actually apply it.
Explore Chemistry →Mechanics, electromagnetism, waves, thermodynamics, and modern physics. Conceptual understanding comes first, with mathematical formalism following naturally once students see how the physics works. Strong preparation for advanced study.
Explore Physics →Every Harland program is built on the US Common Core standards, with clear pathways into IB, AP, IELTS, and SAT preparation as students are ready. Each lesson connects to the assignments and assessments your child is preparing for at school.
Harland's pedagogy is content-based learning. Mathematical and scientific reasoning develops through the substance students engage with, not through procedural drilling. Students build real understanding while working with the courses and material that matter to their grades.
We measure success by how soon a student no longer needs us. The program brings each student to the point where their school's curriculum becomes the right challenge, and once they are there, many families step their cadence down or move on. We treat that as the right outcome.

Most families come to Harland looking for a third option. They want something distinct from a crowded classroom of thirty, yet far more structured and rigorous than a typical home tutor. They are looking for truly personalized learning with transparent, constant growth and a clear, defined end date.
When I founded Harland, my goal was to build the exact organization I would want for my own family. That meant bringing together subject-specialist faculty who embody the same growth mindset we aim to instill in our students. It meant designing a curriculum rooted in the actual academic courses students are navigating, rather than generic language exercises. Above all, it meant treating families as true educational partners, and students as the ultimate drivers of their own intellectual journeys.
We are intentionally honest about alignment during our admissions process because Harland is not the right fit for every family. But for the families we are right for, one of my greatest joys is receiving that phone call from a parent telling me their child no longer needs us. Independent success is the outcome we work toward from the very first lesson.
Every Harland mathematics and science teacher is hired for advanced subject-specialist credentials, real teaching experience with the curricula students are studying, and the conceptual depth to make difficult material clear. Below are a few of our mathematics and science faculty.
Holds a PhD in Astronomy from Columbia and teaches physics, astronomy, and mathematics, drawing on his own published research.
A leader in Harland's STEM curriculum, contributing to assessment design and hands-on experimentation across upper-level science and mathematics, with over 15 years of teaching.
A state-licensed mathematics, statistics, and physics teacher with broad experience across the full AP calculus and physics sequence.
Honest answers to the questions parents ask most often before working with Harland.
Every Harland relationship starts the same way. Here is what to expect after you reach out.
A consultation about your child's current level, your goals, and whether Harland is the right fit. In person at our Taipei office, or over video.
ComplimentaryYour child sits a 1-on-1 assessment class with one of our teachers. This determines course suitability and the right entry point within that course.
ComplimentaryBased on the consultation and assessment, we recommend a specific course, an entry point within it, and a faculty member matched to your child's needs.
Sessions begin at our Taipei office or online. We review progress at regular intervals and adjust the plan as your child grows.
Every Harland relationship begins with a consultation, followed by an assessment class for your child. Tell us about your goals and where your child is now.
