Neurodivergent CS student building an interactive math learning platform. Looking for educator and student feedback

Hi r/Education,

I’m a computer science student who has struggled with math throughout my academic life. Despite doing well in most subjects, university-level math has been a constant obstacle for me. I’ve had to repeat multiple courses, and traditional study methods never really worked with the way my brain processes information.

Over time I noticed something interesting: whenever I built my own tools to support learning, I improved much faster. Creating structured, interactive systems helped me understand concepts that textbooks and static exercises couldn’t.

Because of that experience, a friend and I recently started working on a project aimed at making math learning more intuitive and interactive. The idea is to combine several tools that are usually scattered across different websites into a single platform:

• interactive visualizations and graphing
• step by step problem solving
• guided learning workflows
• customizable practice problem generation

Our goal is not to replace teachers, but to create a supplemental tool that supports different learning styles. Especially for students who struggle with traditional approaches.

Our focus is primarily on tools that help students explore and understand math concepts, rather than on creating full traditional courses.

We’re currently building an early version and opening a waitlist for people who want to try it when it’s ready.

I’m posting here because I’d really like feedback from actual educators and students:

• What tools or features do you feel are missing from current math education technology?
• What makes a math platform genuinely helpful rather than just flashy?
• From a teacher’s perspective, what would make a tool like this useful in the classroom?

Any thoughts or constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Submission Statement:

This post is relevant to r/Education because it seeks discussion and feedback about educational technology for math learning from the perspective of both students and educators. The purpose is not to advertise a product, but to gather informed opinions about what makes digital learning tools genuinely useful in real educational settings.
