Scheduling a Regular Program Assessment

We conduct assessments nearly any time we are open for instruction. Select the "Schedule an Assessment" button below to find a time that works for you. Assessments are regularly $149 (a one-time, lifetime fee), but we will credit you $100 if you sign up of either a 6- or 12-month program, making the cost only $49. Once a student is enrolled in our Program, they are typically re-assessed every 3-4 months for a formal measure of their progress. There are no additional assessment fees after initial assessment, or for returning students to Mathnasium of Bethesda.

We are relatively new users but very pleased. The team is really wonderful. They genuinely care about the kids, the process and the experience. I think they really know the local private and public schools well and can address anything one may need. The program is very thoughtful without being overwhelming. The kids ENJOY going to learn - that should say it all. I am thoroughly pleased and would recommend anyone try it - we have tried a lot of different things and this really seems to work.

We sent our rising 3rd grader to Mathnasium in downtown Bethesda over the summer, as he had a tough school year and was a bit behind in math. Initially he was nervous to go. After the very first lesson he came home excited and loving math again! By the end of summer, he had made up so much ground he was almost completely caught up again. Within the first week of the new school year, his teacher was ready to give him enriched instruction in class. We honestly couldn’t have had a better experience - Kathryn & Barry are so attentive, it is apparent they genuinely care about helping their students.

Mathnasium has been wonderful! It gives our 4th grade daughter a supportive, encouraging place to practice her math skills. We originally signed up for a short block of 8 sessions over the summer, but our daughter’s attitude toward match changed so dramatically that we enrolled for a full year. In truth, our daughter begged us to enroll!
Over the past three months, she has gone from a reluctant math student who refused to memorize her multiplication tables to a kid who is excited to get to Mathnasium! Her confidence at school has skyrocketed. She postpones play dates and runs in on the weekends before soccer and basketball games so she can practice. She loves every adult in the center, especially Kathryn, I especially appreciate the homework help, which can handle whetever a child is assigned at school. I can send a quick note to Kathryn and Barry about a difficult homework topic and they quickly identify the skills ant sissies and add them to my child’s binder.
I highly recommend Mathnasium in Bethesda.

My son has enjoyed the experience so far. He likes the teachers he's worked with and doesn't mind going.. half the battle!! And he's applying math concepts and counting a lot more on his own.
I am iterested to see how this experience translates into the end of summer assessment and into his approach to math when school resumes.

The scheduling was convenient - so we could always find a time slot 2 or 3 times a week that worked for us. The regular performance updates and the view of which areas needed more attention was very useful.
Our goal was to ensure that our son build solid foundation and these sessions helped do that very well by reinforcement and practice.

I am very pleased with Mathnasium of Bethesda. I have seen my son grow from being insecure and discouraged with math to becoming confident in his abilities and desiring to play math games. Over the past 3 months of participating in the program, my son has improved by two letter grades. Thank you for all you are doing to help my son!!

Mathnasium in Bethesda did an amazing job for our daughter. She started the program in 4th grade. We felt her school was not rigorous enough and we wanted to make sure she was on track. Kathryn and Barry are great; they and their staff are so patient with the kids. The program is very thorough and teaches kids the intuition around many concepts. The rewards in the program help the kids stay motivated. Our daughter was always excited to go. Now math is her favorite subject!

My daughter's math grade level has improved approximately 2 grade levels since being at Mathnasium. She enjoys doing math. She transferred to a new school 2[PHONE NUMBER REMOVED] school year. After her placement test the math teacher said that she did not know whether or not my daughter would be able to keep up with the rest of the class in math. My daughter not only kept up but excelled and math is nearly her highest grade with an 89 average. Thanks

Excellent tutors and a friendly atmosphere has given a lot of motivation to my child. He loves to come to Mathnasium and we are very happy that we found such a wonderful place to
provide enrichment in Math to our son. We will highly recommend Mathnasium to other parents who are looking for help in Math for their kids.

Although we are not with Mathnasium any more, we loved the one on one attention of the teachers with the kids. Mathnasium makes learning Math fun. The teachers are very good and patient with the kids. They nurture each kid based on the kids abilities. We loved our center directors who are very cordial, patient and were very responsive.

our daughters love coming to Mathnasium - they are keen to come even after a day at school. Their mental arithmetic has improved dramatically since we started a few months ago, and the tutors have all been great at helping them develop efficient thinking strategies and a proper understanding of the concepts they need to cover.

My daughter has been coming to Mathnasium this summer after struggling mightily in math over the past two years in school. We've tried private tutors, interventions in school, and online programs. While I can't speak to her progress, as she has not been reassessed yet, I can speak to her attitude toward math. She is more excited about math than I've ever seen her, more confident and enthusiastic. I sense a feeling of relief that math is starting to make sense to her, finally. Whereas before she would dread math work, she now looks forward to coming to Mathnasium and is disappointed when we can't. She can't wait till school starts so she can show her new teacher what she's learned.

We love Mathnasium and have had a very positive experience. My child loves going and it's convenient and we can pop over when it works well. She is more confident in her math and has decided she likes math instead of dreading it before. Pricing makes it difficult to afford for long-term and multiple children but, otherwise, it's amazing all around!

My fifth grade son was behind in math since second grade and had little confidence in his ability to do well in school. He immediately felt comfortable asking questions of the teachers at Mathnasium. After a few months with Mathnasium, he moved up several math groups, gained confidence in his ability to do math and also gained confidence in his ability to succeed academically overall. I have been very impressed with the customer service, attention to my son's needs, and method of teaching. It was just what he needed. He will be much more confident going into middle school after having such a positive experience at Mathnasium.

NPR Report: Math Looks the Same in the Brains of Boys and Girls, Study Finds

Hello. I'm Barry Fausnaugh, Owner of Mathnasium of Bethesda, your neighborhood math-only learning center. We help kids in grades 1-12 understand math by teaching the way that makes sense to them.
When math makes sense, kids leap way ahead – whether they started out far behind or already ahead in math. Our formula for teaching kids math, the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids learn math for over a decade across 1,000+ centers in the US and Canada:
Our specially trained math instructors will teach your child how to understand math in an individual setting – our unique approach enables us to effectively explain math concepts and lend a helping hand to every student. Our tutors foster a caring, encouraging environment that helps kids thrive and learn!
Mathnasium instructors use our unique assessment process to determine (with great accuracy) exactly what each child knows and what they need to learn. Next, we design a customized learning plan for teaching the concepts the student needs to master. It doesn’t stop there – our encouraging instructors continually check progress along the way to make sure kids truly understand and retain the concepts we’ve taught. The results are transformative – kids will see measurable changes in attitude, confidence, and school progress.
Our instructors will also set aside time to provide homework help. We help kids understand the homework assignment so they feel better prepared to complete the work at home – underscoring their understanding of concepts and transforming homework frustration into a welcome challenge.
