The Mathnasium Method™
The Mathnasium Method™ is the teaching approach our Manchester instructors use in every session. It is built around personalised learning plans and hands-on teaching techniques, designed to help students of all skill levels move from surface-level familiarity with maths to a deep and lasting understanding of it.
I feel that the way they teach is far more engaging than most alternative options that have resorted to screens and digital tuition. My daughter has always struggled learning from digital screens and absorbs much more from the action of writing and working things out on paper. Her abilities and confidence have greatly improved over the last 4 months.
Brilliant staff, do the work and play games and make it so fun that my child cant wait to go back for next session. My son was falling behind in maths but end of term he got mastery in maths after attending Mathnasium.
Our centres cover a broad stretch of Greater Manchester and the surrounding areas.
Mathnasium of Altrincham serves families from Altrincham, Bowdon, Hale, Hale Barns, Timperley, Sale and Broadheath.
Mathnasium of Bramhall serves Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Poynton, Hazel Grove and the wider Stockport area.
Both centres also offer online sessions through Mathnasium@home, so distance is never a barrier.
Yes! This is one of the most common reasons families in Altrincham and the surrounding area come to us. Trafford is home to some of the most sought-after state grammar schools in the country and entry depends on the Trafford GL assessment.
Our Altrincham centre has specific experience preparing children for the Trafford GL, building the numerical reasoning, arithmetic and problem-solving skills the test requires.
We create personalised preparation plans based on each child’s diagnostic assessment, so we’re always working on exactly what they need.
We work with children from Reception through to Year 11 (ages 4-16).
Whether your child is just building their number sense for the first time, preparing for the Trafford GL or KS2 SATs or working towards their GCSEs, we tailor sessions to exactly where they are right now.
Our maths instructors in Manchester can cover all topics across the National Curriculum for Mathematics in England, from early primary through to GCSE. This includes:
Absolutely! At primary level, our Manchester centres support children in KS1 and KS2 (Years 1-6) with foundational skills including place value, the four operations, fractions and problem-solving.
We also help children prepare for KS1 SATs (Year 2), the Multiplication Tables Check (Year 4) and KS2 SATs (Year 6). For families in the Trafford area, we offer dedicated preparation for the Trafford GL assessment for children in Years 4 and 5.
The starting point is always the free diagnostic assessment, which tells us precisely where knowledge gaps formed. Those gaps, rather than the current school topic, are what we address first.
From there, we build a personalised learning plan that works through those gaps in the right order before introducing new material. The result is that students start to understand the maths rather than just follow along.
We work with students across KS3 (Years 7-9) and GCSE (Years 10-11).
Absolutely! Our Manchester centres provide focused GCSE maths preparation for students in Years 10 and 11. Our instructors use personalised learning plans to identify and address knowledge gaps, deepen understanding of key topics and build exam technique.
Most Manchester schools follow the AQA specification for GCSE maths and our instructors are experienced with it. We also support students studying with Pearson Edexcel or OCR.
At Mathnasium, there is no one-size-fits-all curriculum. Instead, we build each student a personalised learning plan and use our proprietary teaching approach, the Mathnasium Method™, to deliver it.
The Mathnasium Method™ is designed to help students develop a true understanding of maths by identifying their knowledge gaps and expanding their mathematical thinking. Sessions draw on mental, verbal, visual, tactile and written techniques to shift how students think and feel about maths and to put them on a solid path to maths mastery.
Each learning plan at Mathnasium is shaped around the student, not a traditional programme. Where a family wants instruction to align with the National Curriculum for Mathematics in England, our instructors can absolutely do that, keeping students on track with their year group expectations at school.
We can also adjust instruction for students following the International Baccalaureate or IGCSE. Whatever the framework, the starting point is always your child's individual needs.
Whether your child is working towards KS2 SATs, the Trafford GL or GCSE maths, our maths instructors in Manchester can help.
With regular attendance and a focused learning plan, students report significant improvements in both their test results and their day-to-day confidence in maths.
Yes! While we do not set homework ourselves, we set aside time during each session to help students work through their school assignments. All learning takes place under the guidance of our specially trained instructors, we never send children away with extra work to do at home.
Yes, the experience is the same whether your child comes into one of our Manchester centres or learns from home through Mathnasium@home.
Sessions are live and face-to-face, run by the same specially trained instructors, using the same personalised learning plan. Families choose the format that works best for them; the standard of instruction does not change.
Mathnasium offers premium maths support at a structured price point that makes the investment in the programme predictable, transparent and manageable. There is a flat enrolment fee and students attend on a regular basis, much like a gym membership.
We usually recommend 2 to 3 sessions per week, depending on the student's learning needs and goals. This is also why pricing varies by programme and area, so we recommend contacting your nearest Manchester centre for details on available packages.
Before your child begins sessions, we carry out a free diagnostic assessment to build a clear picture of where they are in their maths learning, what they know well and where the gaps are.
From there, we build a personalised learning plan that puts them on the most effective path forward. The assessment itself is interactive and low-pressure; it is not a test in the way school tests are.
The assessment results go straight into building your child's personalised learning plan, shaped around their current level and academic goals.
The plan targets three things:
Your child starts working through their plan in their very first session. We track their progress throughout and update the plan whenever needed so they keep moving forward.
Two to three sessions per week tends to produce the best results. Fewer than that and progress is slower; more than that and students can lose steam. If your child is preparing for the Trafford GL or sitting GCSE maths, your centre may suggest a schedule that reflects those timelines.
Enrolling at Mathnasium in Manchester is straightforward:
Find your nearest Manchester centre and get in touch, even if your child will be attending online.
Schedule a free assessment so we can identify any knowledge gaps and build a personalised learning plan with guidance from our specially trained maths instructors.
Schedule your sessions. Your local Centre Director will help you find a timetable that works for your family and guide you through the enrolment process.
