About MathLab · A note from the founder
Maths changed
my direction.
It was the subject I struggled with most.
It became the one that opened doors.
Hi, I’m Gerry.
I lead a team of engineers building marketing products at HubSpot. But my path into technology started with a maths grade.
I studied computer science at university, which was only possible because of my A-level maths result. Getting there was difficult. Learning how to study maths gave me a discipline that has shaped my career, my startups and the way I approach hard problems.
MathLab comes from that experience. I know what it feels like to struggle, and how much can change when you start making progress.
My starting point
wasn’t my finish line.
How I went from a U to an A — and what it took to get there.
More doors open.
For more people.
The aim is simple: every resource you need to improve your grade in A-level maths, with a clearer way through it.
Explanations, worked examples, practice and a revision roadmap belong together. Students should be able to understand an idea, work on it and know where to go next.
Making that support accessible matters to me. Keeping the monthly price affordable is part of the mission.
A study path that
gets to know you.
Think of how well TikTok learns what interests you, applied to learning maths. My longer-term ambition is to help each student find the right topic, explanation and practice for where they are now — and make the most of their time studying.
That’s the direction
I’m building towards.
One builder.
Many perspectives.
I’m building MathLab solo, with support and feedback from a network of founders, marketers, developers and product managers, as well as parents and educators. Their perspectives help me make it a more useful product.
Better with people around it.
Usually on a trail.
I love hiking. I also build Camino Maps, an app used by around 16,000 unique active users a year.
Both projects grow from the same interest: building useful tools that help people find their way.
Your perspective
belongs here, too.
