In our four years with Mathnasium, they have demonstrated tremendous ability to respond to the changing needs of their students. Their delivery model, flexibility, responsiveness, and knowledge of their subject area has grown and evolved. They couldn't have done this though without their incredible staff of instructors, who have been instrumental in my child's academic success.

We have seen great progress from our son in just a few short months. Even his teacher at school has seen great things from him. Our son went from barely understanding simple addition equations to understanding and answering multiplication problems. His confidence continues to grow and his understanding of how math works and how to we use math each day helps him too. He went from absolutely hating math and shutting down mentally and emotionally to now he is excited to go to mathnasium and tells us what he has learned.

My daughter has ben coming to Mathnasium for a couple months and we already see a huge improvement in her math. She has also gained more confidence in her math skills. The team there is absolutely wonderful and welcoming and Jordan is amazing with all the other kids. His positive attitude has helped erase my child's fear of getting extra help.

Our daughter was struggling with understanding basic math concepts and being able to connect them so they would make sense. On top of that her math class was moving faster than she could keep up with. Since starting Mathnasium in August of 2021 our daughter has made significant strides in the math concepts she was missing and is performing on grade level. She loves going to Mathnasium and has a newfound appreciation for math.

My grandson was enrolled for 1 year at Mathnasium; which ended early January 2022. In that year Isaiah's mathematical skills increased dramatically. He says it was the one-on-one attention; the fact that he was able to ask questions and have it explained thoroughly was extremely important to him! The fact that he now likes Mathematics instead of hating it; was more than we could have wished for! Highly recommend Mathnasium to anyone having problems understanding Math!

Our son Michael’s Math knowledge has increased leaps and bounds! The instructors at the center really make Math learning “make more sense”, in doing so, they make it more interesting for students to learn with ease. Michael’s report card has been stellar and I have no doubt Mathnasium has played an integral part to his success. Thank you.

There isn't anything that the Mathnasium instructors can't handle or address when it comes to math. There have been many times over the last four years where the Mathasium instructors have been more effective and efficient in breaking down mathematical concepts (from fifth grade fractions - honors algebra) than the actual math teachers. One of the best educational investments we have made.

I am so grateful for the assistance that Mathnasium has been able to provide. My son has always struggled in math and it was a constant uphill battle when it can’t to tests and homework. I would spend at least 2-3 hours after school trying to assist with the different methods but it just wasn’t working. Since enrolling him into the program, he has gone from an F (32%) to a B (83%) in just 2 months. The long hours of me helping with homework is now nonexistent. He enjoys math now and loves going to Mathnasium. I would definitely recommend the program without reservation to everyone who has a child who struggles with math!

My son Michael has been excelling in all aspects of Math since enrolling three years ago. To date, there’s no doubt that Mathnasium has enhanced his learning abilities with excellent school grades as a result. The Staff are very knowledgeable, motivated, and friendly towards the students which is a big confidence builder. Shout out to Jordon the Site Director, very Professional and Courteous to all the students. Kudos to all the Staff as well. Thanks for all what you do.

Our children have been going to Mathnasium for 3 years. We have used Mathnasium for help in advanced math, avoiding the summer slide, test reviews, homework help, summer work, IXL, you name it! Jordan and his team are amazing. Mathnasium is more than a tutoring center. It’s a place our kids can go and have fun while learning. Highly recommend!

Mathnasium has been a great choice for our children. All 3 of them learn so differently. Jordon and staff do an amazing job with how they interact and engage the children. We love seeing the improved confidence and greater understanding of math concepts .Grades continue to improve but the fact they are understanding what and why is the greatest accomplishment.

Positive relationships and connections between a student and teacher are a key component of academic success. The Mathnasium instructors have proven that they understand and prioritize this when working with the students. They focus on the individual, not just the math content. It is a community that allows them to grow in many ways.

We enrolled 3 children to bring them up to speed in their math classes after changing schools. We have noticed a change in their self confidence and their desire to do math work since we started Mathnasium a month ago. All 3 enjoy the staff and like how they relate to them and they really like the relaxed atmosphere and best bonus is they want to attend each class.Mathnasium is a great choice for our family.

My daughter loves working with the instructors. She does have her favorites but everyone that she has worked with has been patient, fun and helpful.
Virtual instruction has been so easy and needed. We love the flexibility and dedication of the Saint Mary’s team. It’s nice to see my daughter smiling after an hour long session of math, when she use to be frustrated and upset.
Thanks to all the instructors for all that you do to help our family and so many others.

Mathnasium is a game changer!!! My daughter didn't understand a concept in Math which caused her to get behind. My only regret is that we didn't go to Mathnasium sooner. She absolutely loves Mathnasium! Mathnasium tested her in all different Math concepts and they work with her on those she needs a better understanding of. I don't know what they are doing at Mathnasium to get my daughter to like Math, but it works! I know I sound like a walking advertisement, but we truly love everything about Mathnasium. Jordan, the Director at Mathnasium is wonderful. He keeps us informed about our daughter's progress and is so easy to reach and work with. My daughter really enjoys working with all the tutors. They really take an interest in her and make tutoring fun. I didn't think it was possible to make tutoring (especially in Math) fun. But somehow they have figured it out! I was afraid they would stick her in front of a computer to do Math problems. But they are actually doing hands-on tutoring. I encourage anyone wanting to help their kids catch up or get ahead in Math to check out Mathnasium. I have no affiliation with Mathnasium, I'm just a Mom who is very happy with this program!

In our current times of Covid-19, the Mathnasium has demonstrated the responsive and adaptive methods that we need in our educational resources. They have done this without limiting their students but by providing them with additional options, programs, and resources. Their willingness to accommodate the needs of students and families has provided a learning experience that provides everyone with the ability to choose the environment that best fits their level of comfort. Their flexibility has ensured that my child has continued to succeed.

My daughter loves the Mathnasium platform and all her coaches. She has been utilizing the virtual classes but prefers going in-person and can't wait to get back. As a parent, I thank the coaches at mathnasium for helping Morgan get to where she needs to be and continuing to build her confidence. The virtual sessions are so important and keep the personal contact. Her on-line school doesnt offer this to her, so mathnasium is also helping keep some "normal" in our lives and for that I'm so grateful.

The Mathnasium has been such an amazing resource during the past few months of staying at home during COVID19. It is such a relief to know my son is still receiving expert math instruction and that he won’t have to struggle once school starts back up. The Mathnasium@home program has been awesome and the instructors are the absolute best!

We've been with Mathnasium for over a year and it has made a world of difference in my daughter's grade and confidence. We were very appreciative of their fairly smooth transition to online platform when Maryland issued stay-at-home orders due to COVID-19 virus. Being able to continue tutoring online enables my daughter to continue closing gaps in skills and completing her school math continuous learning assignments.

The Mathnasium @Home program has been an wonderful experience for my child. It provides opportunities for synchronous learning with familiar Mathnasium instructors. Mathnasium provided an opportunity for students to continue their learning pathways without any interruption as they transitioned to their online platform. Just another reason to love the Mathnasium.

Mathnasium has been a wonderful experience for our family. Not only is the staff professional and courteous, they go above and beyond to create a positive and safe environment for our son. Aside from homework help, they create a unique learning plan that incorporates the grade level curriculum - while balancing specified instruction to meet his individual needs. His attitude about Mathnasium is a pleasant contrast to his attitude about school in general. My only regret is that we didn't start sooner. Special thanks to Jordan and his amazing team.

Each and every instructor that my son has worked with has displayed a sound knowledge of mathematics. This is evident in their ability to efficiently break down a skill/topic and immediately engage my child in the process of learning. The patience and motivating attitude of each Mathnasium instructor has greatly contributed to my son's achievement in his accelerated math classes.
