This an exceptional program for either students who are who are advanced in mathematics be on their age group or for those who need a little extra help and getting a strong foundation for basic mathematics. The staff is professional, friendly and dedicated to both the students and their parents. I absolutely love Mathnasium. Thank you!

Great overall experience! My son has a learning disability and Jamal kept his promises with providing the right tutor (Pedro), and giving us the best time slot to come in when it's not as busy. My son really enjoys it and his math skills are improving.

Mathnasium made a huge difference in my son. He went from a C to an A. Now he approaches math with confidence and it’s his favorite subject. I would also like to mention that the staff at Mathnasium OPRF are excellent! You always see a happy smile, a friendly face and warm welcome!

My daughter has only been in Mathnasium for 4 months and has already improved by 40% and has exceeded her Math goal by 7 points. This is the first school year her scores have been on target. We look forward to more future success with Mathnasium as the year continues!

So far everyone has been very kind. At first, Christian was not happy about attending Mathnasium. However, his father and I encouraged him to give it a try. We explained that it would build up his self confidence in mathematics and there are plenty of room to grow if he is persistent and determined to make a go of it. He really needs to know that smart is cool, and not have anyone bully or make him feel that it’s not a good thing or make him feel as though he has done something wrong. Dad and I are praying for positive results. We look forward to working with the folks at Mathnasium to help Christian succeed.

Mathnasium came through for us when we needed a very high-level (Calculus) tutor. We were able to get in for a free trial session while other facilities were still scrambling to see if they could find anyone to assist at that level. They were able to help my daughter through the material in a manner that was straight-forward and made it easy to understand. Just what we needed!

The kids have had a wonderful experience with Mathnasium. It has given them confidence in what they can do and made math fun. I truly hope we can get sponsors to continue their education with Mathnasium. I know it can radically change a child's anxiety with math. I've seen it with my 4 mentees.

My 10yr old recently started at Mathnasium. She has had a vey difficult time with math and frankly despised it. Its great to see her smile after each session and although we have a long way to go, we are confident that she will do well.

I called several tutoring centers trying to find someone to help my daughter with Calculus. They didn't have anyone to tutor at that level, they weren't available during the times we were available, or we would have to travel out of our way to get to them. On the other hand, Mathnasium invited us in for a free trial on the same day that I contacted them. Brian was fantastic! My daughter actually understood the information and made it through the materials much faster than expected. I don't know what we would have done without Mathnasium.

Our daughter loves her weekly time at Mathnasium. She has learned so much in her time there and - most importantly - thinks math is fun, which was our entire goal in signing her up at the early age of 4. We plan to stay with Mathnasium for as long as she is in school.

Mathnasium has been such a wonderful thing for our family! Our son who has always hated math now does his homework without any arguments and is so proud to bring home his tests and quizzes that went from Ds and Fs to As and Bs! Our daughter, who has always been advanced loves going and learning new things as they provide the right level of challenge for her that the schools cannot. We are so happy to have found Mathnasium and love the unlimited attendance, friendly staff, and convenient location. I highly recommend this place!

The staff are so great about providing feedback.Rob provides detailed observations about my daughter including how she is doing with the addition of afternoon medication for her ADHD. Rob is an example of how the staff here are interested in each child as an entire person, not just as a budding mathematician. The staff seem to genuinely enjoy working with kids and making the whole experience of learning fun for them. Thanks for everything to Rob and the entire staff at Mathnasium!

My 10 year old daughter was falling behind in math. When she said to me “I’m bad at math,” I immediately called Mathnasium. She now goes willingly (which you can’t always say about kids’ enthusiasm for math) and enjoys her time there. Best of all, she’s been keeping up and understanding new math concepts. They’ve been flexible with her tutoring, as she has gaps in different areas, not just one. Which has helped her be more confirdent. She no longer believes that she is “bad at math.”

Our daughter has been going to Mathnasium for the past 2 summers and I have seen a growth in her that summer school never achieved. She's more confident in her math skills and not afraid to ask questions when she doesn't understand the problem, her teacher even commented on her improvement. I thank Mathnasium for there one on one attention they provide to every child, keep up the good work Mathnasium.

Excellent experience for the children - really valuable learning experiences - thank you!
Outstanding - fully focused. Consolidated our kid's math learning.
Fantastic and engaging - Rewa and Seba are great involved. Clear and concise instructions throughout the classes and brilliant feedback to the parent at the end of each Math level.
Jana, Angella, Anthony, and all of Mathnasium staff:
Just can't thank you enough!

My student loves the Mathnasium community--and it IS truly that--a community--of energetic, fun, committed people who knew her name and greeted her enthusiastically upon her very first arrival. She quickly began to "show off" some of her new math acumen --volunteering to calculate things in her head (how much for a tip, how much for an outfit she wants, etc.)
I couldn't be more surprised and thrilled at her increasing excitement to deepen her math skills. Previously it was music and literature and art--now she is asking me how math relates to writing songs, poetry, etc, and is making connections that will only enrich her educational experience as well as her curiousity-driven affection for learning new things.

I am always very eager and exited to go to Mathnasium. I have already learned a lot in math, and my confidence has grown. Everyone there is very inclusive, convivial, and fun to be around. The Mathnasium method of teaching has greatly helped me, and will continue to do so through my years in high school. I am very thankful to have this opportunity to receive so much great help in math.

Mathnasium has been a very positive experience for both of our children. I do think the cost makes it inaccessible to many families. Perhaps you could offer a lower cost option where the child only attends once per week.

My grand daughter and I both had a really great experience at this location this summer. She's a bit more confident in her math skills but we are continuing with Mathnasium in Oklahoma where she actually lives. I hopeful that her experience there will be as great as Oak Park.

Mathnasium works! My student has attended two summers to prevent brain drain when school resumes and it shows. He picks up math studies where he left off, no lengthy review needed. His PAARC math score exceeded his grade levels. This is a student with a serious attention disorder.
Only one negative comment: I didn't get an exit interview in August on student's progress. It's as though once personnel learned we would not be signing up for continued services over the school year, we didn't matter to them or they didn't have time for us anymore. Not good.

You all have changed the way Emma looks at math. She can now know that her creative mind had the capacity to work mathematically.. Just that knowledge about herself has changed the whole way she perceives her own abilities.

Mathnasium is AMAZING!! I can't believe the improvement we've seen. Our only issue is the scheduling limitations we've encountered over the summer. Morning slots are always booked, we've sadly never been able to get one. Unfortunately, we are unable to book weeks in advance due to a wacky summer plans, which is what is probably needed to secure the bookings you want. And several days, we've wanted to come in, but there were no times at all available. I realize we can call, and we have done that in the past, but I always feel that it must be stretching your staff. Bigger space, perhaps????
Overall fantastic though! Thank you to your incredible instructors!
