    We start with a diagnostic assessment designed to understand your child’s current level and knowledge gaps.

    Using assessment-based insights, our team of experts develops a personalized learning plan that builds skills step by step. By working with the same tutors each week in a fun small-group setting, students regain lost confidence, close gaps, and start making measurable progress in math again.

    • Math contest preparation, including MathCounts and AMC 8
    • Concepts from Algebra 2, Precalculus, and early Calculus
    • Enrichment topics not typically covered in school, such as logic, number theory, and combinatorics

    We customize each enrichment plan to the student’s individual goals—whether they want to place into higher-level classes, strengthen their competitive edge, or simply keep math exciting.

  • Why does my child need to take an assessment before enrolling at Mathnasium?

    We begin each student’s journey at Mathnasium with an assessment to identify their unique strengths and areas for improvement and better understand how they think about math. This gives us the insight we need to create their personalized learning plan.

    As students move through their program, we also use periodic assessments to track progress and ensure they’re on the right path to math mastery. The frequency and focus of these follow-ups are tailored to each student’s needs and goals.
