”Math is a powerful skill needed for almost every career in today's economy, and students who do
not have a solid grasp on math will be disadvantaged in the workforce. After deciding I wanted to
leave the corporate world to focus on helping students develop these needed math skills, I examined
several learning center offerings and was most impressed with Mathnasium. Mathnasium offers a highly
regarded math program, customized to the student, with proven results - it builds math skills, math
confidence, and sets the foundation for future growth. Students enjoy the engaging curriculum and they
discover that math is fun. And, as an added benefit, the program offers tremendous value and flexibility
for the parents." — Janet Phillips, Mathnasium Huntsville, Alabama

Vanderbilt University. She draws from her experience as Program Manager for the U.S. Space Camp program in
Huntsville, AL, and six years as a strategic management consultant with Deloitte & Touche.
"I love mathematics. I love kids. I love to teach. All over the world, the demand for expertise in
mathematics is growing. Effective mathematics tutoring is difficult to find at an affordable price.
The Mathnasium teaching method, curriculum, and business model are meeting these needs, and I am
excited to be a part of it." — Steve Ross, Mathnasium McMurray, Pennsylvania

Since opening our center, the experience has been priceless. This is such a rewarding business and you can’t put any amount of money on the feeling that you get from helping a student succeed.
