In the 1990’s, education industry pioneers Peter Markovitz and David Ullendorff recognised that, to truly be successful in school and in life, students need a solid understanding of mathematics. There was a vast disconnect, though, between students’ learning skills and the maths curriculum they were taught in school.
To address that gap, they founded Mathnasium, a maths-only learning centre committed to providing the world’s best instruction. Their goal: teach children how to think, with the skills to succeed in maths and the confidence to achieve their academic potential.
After an exhaustive search, they found the perfect person to help them achieve their vision: Larry Martinek, a beloved educator, teacher trainer and curriculum consultant. Larry and Mathnasium’s expert team spent years refining the most powerful teaching methods and materials into the comprehensive, industry-leading Mathnasium Method™.
The trio opened the first Mathnasium Learning Centre in Los Angeles in late 2002 and began franchising in 2003. The extraordinary dedication of Mathnasium’s local centre owners and staff, combined with Mathnasium’s child-centered approach, proved wildly successful. Mathnasium has become an award-winning, world-class maths education company and global demand for our service has soared.
Since our inception, Mathnasium has been trusted by over a million parents in neighbourhood learning centres on five continents.
Working closely with their international teams, Mathnasium has successfully localised the programme, adapting to needs of differing curricula, and creating a programme with international relevance that gives children around the globe the power to achieve excellence in maths.
My daughter’s confidence in Maths has increased considerably since joining Mathnasium. All of the tutors are helpful, and it’s a fun and engaging way of learning. We’re really pleased with her progress!
Our son goes there many times a week, on his own, because he really enjoys the activities and can strengthen his maths skills and knowledge. A fantastic team — learning Maths has never been so rigorous and so fun!
One of the best things I have done to help my daughter with numeracy! The Chiswick team are amazing and incredible at helping my daughter with her exact needs. They are available for individual chats and also brilliant at suggesting alternative ways of learning for someone with dyslexia
Edward, Tio and the whole team at St Albans Mathnasium are wonderful and my 11y daughter who has started in November 2025 loves coming to see and learn with them three times a week. Keep up the outstanding work and never lose that personal touch of yours.

My children love Mathnesium and actually ask me to take them! They have a brilliant reward system and help the children build motivation in their work. Their confidence in their maths has hugely improved!
