One of the most impressive statistics at Mathnasium is this: 94% of parents reported an increase in their child's math skills and understanding. Those results aren't an accident! Mathnasium has fine-tuned the tutoring process so well that we’ve patented our teaching approach. It’s called the Mathnasium Method and here’s a sneak peek of what it looks like:

1. Our specially-trained Mathnasium Instructors fill a role that's different from a parent or a school teacher. Edutopia explains it this way:

"Personal relationships are foundational to student success -- the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect."

When the student trusts and respects his/her Mathnasium Instructor, we find that the student becomes more reachable. This is when the instructor is able to reinforce the student's math strengths and clarify their math confusion.

2. One-on-One attention is priceless. Parents have learned this lesson out of the classroom:) Most kids behave best when distractions are eliminated and the parents can focus all their attention on their child. (Read more about this idea here.) The same principle is used at Mathnasium. We know that kids perform better when they have the patient, kind attention they deserve. That's why we offer plenty of one-on-one instruction with each of our students. 

3. Lastly, our Mathnasium Instructors know how to balance time for teaching and time for independent thinking. Often, traditional tutors over-teach their students and provide all the answers, robbing their students the time needed for independent practice. With a balanced amount of instruction and independent practice, your student will learn math and keep the confidence of a job well-done!
