Lemma Learning
Success is impossible without the right process. At Lemma, we help students achieve their current goals by teaching them how they learn best. In doing so, they develop a personalized framework they can continue to apply long after tutoring ends.Every student's learning process is unique. To give each family the individualized attention this approach requires, we intentionally work with a limited number of students per session.
the lemma principle
Small Steps.
Big Breakthroughs.
In mathematics, complex proofs are often broken down into smaller results called lemmas. At Lemma, we believe meaningful learning happens the same way.
Understand
Every student begins in a different place. We identify strengths, uncover knowledge gaps, and develop a clear understanding of what stands between your child and their goals.
Advance
Once opportunities for growth have been identified, personalized instruction and targeted practice help students strengthen key concepts, build lasting understanding, and gain the confidence to tackle increasingly challenging material.
Achieve
Finally, those strengthened skills help students achieve meaningful results - whether that's improved grades, higher SSAT scores, greater classroom confidence, or a deeper understanding of course material.

Avery Van Alstyne
Hi!I'm the founder of Lemma and a straight-A student at Lakeside School, a rigorous independent college-preparatory school in Seattle.Outside of academics, I'm a competitive tennis player, artist, and musician. Through these experiences and the incredible mentors I've had along the way, I've learned that success isn't just about working hard, but about learning how to learn. By peer tutoring at Lakeside and coaching young tennis players, I've had the opportunity to help others develop the same approach to learning - finding a step-by-step process that supports their learning style, and using it across disciplines. That's the philosophy behind Lemma, and it's one I bring to every lesson!
