How Vibeke Faengsrud Is Bringing House of Math to the US

Vibeke Faengsrud, also known as "The Math Woman," is the Founder & CEO of House of Math, Norway’s leading math-learning platform, recently launched in the US.

Faengsrud is a self-taught math success story who transformed from a homeless teen who failed math to one of Scandinavia’s most influential EdTech entrepreneurs. After teaching herself the subject and earning a master’s in mathematical finance, Faengsrud founded House of Math in 2006, bootstrapping it from a one-woman tutoring service into a platform with over 2.6 million users. She has authored 11 K–12 math curriculum books and was named Tech Star of the Year at Norway’s prestigious HER Awards last year.

After achieving international success and acclaim, House of Math is now being introduced to US audiences as an AI-powered, personalized learning platform that quickly closes learning gaps and restores student confidence. For schools, teachers, and families seeking to close math gaps and reduce student frustration permanently, House of Math offers a fundamentally more effective approach.

Faengsrud's mission is straightforward yet transformative: to challenge the myth of a 'math brain’ and to provide every learner, children and adults alike, with a personalized, engaging path to mastery, using adaptive AI, gamification, and nearly twenty years of educational experience.

As Faengsrud details, "I’m one of the few female founders in math and AI-powered education, and my background is the opposite of the traditional 'math genius' stereotype. I failed math. I struggled. I felt the fear and frustration that many students experience. Because I learned math the hard way, I know exactly where students get stuck, and how to help them move forward."

House of Math is designed to optimize individual learning outcomes by systematically closing foundational gaps that traditional grade-level tools often leave unaddressed. Through these methods, Vibeke Faengsrud is passionate about bringing next-generation math learning to the US.
