We begin with a comprehensive assessment, which includes both a verbal and written component, to pinpoint their exact strengths and weaknesses.
This plan is created for each child based on their assessment, so they will truly learn and grow in their mathematical thinking.
Our expert instructors don’t just teach students to memorize or calculate; they teach them to truly understand the way math works.
We brought my daughter to Mathnasium for extra help with math, and after a few weeks we saw a real improvement. Her school math scores went up, and her confidence improved just as much. The staff are very supportive and consistently take the time to work with students. Overall, the Mathnasium curriculum has helped my daughter immensely.
Can’t say enough good things about Mathnasium. I loved how everything was so transparent; progress and struggles. I knew exactly what my kids were working on at every session and how they did at the end. Truly such a great investment. 10/10.
My highschool daughter finally has a tutor she loves working with for math. She has struggled since 1st. I am not sure why I never looked into Mathnasium until now. We are both very pleased.
My daughter loves Mathnasium. She looks forward to every session. I look forward to picking her up and hearing about how well she did in her session that day. She has developed confidence and enthusiasm for new challenges concerning math.
My daughter genuinely looks forward to going to Mathnasium. We used to struggle with getting homework done before 8pm. Now she's doing much better. Doug and his team of scholars have all of our gratitude!
I cannot say enough about Miss Linda and the amazing team at mathnasium. I have 3 kids ages 8-15 and they all enjoyed the summer torturing program. Miss Linda is so kind and intelligent, it is easy to see why the kids love her.
Both Mr.Sulu and Mr.Sherry are very friendly, collaborative and walk the extra mile to make things happen. The tutors all are knowledgeable and teach in effective way. My daughter progressed a lot in the field of Math and this place is worth every penny.
Karissa is an amazing employee who consistently helps every student and parent with the utmost professionalism and respect. She steps into any role seamlessly and runs things both effectively and effortlessly. She truly is an asset and does an outstanding job. — Tony. C
