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.

My son loves the Mathnasium of California, MD! The staff is absolutely amazing and have managed to make math fun, regardless of what level your child is at. Because the Mathnasium method ensures a thorough understanding of math fluency and concepts (rather than memorization of math facts), my son is able to quickly learn new material and advanced math concepts. He loves math and it shows in his grades / test scores, as well as his confidence! Enrolling my son in the Mathnasium has been the best investment I’ve ever made.

My kiddo has really had a boost in confidence since studying at Mathnasium. After struggling in Math every year since third grade, Math is her favorite subject in 8th! Math is no longer a frustrating foreign language for her that causes overwhelming anxiety. It's a big money & time commitment, but we are so glad to have finally gotten her the help she needs to feel successful in school.

My son Michael has been enrolled now for approximately 4 months and his confidence level in Math computations have dramatically increased, although he has much to improve upon I’m positive he will become a stellar Math star in the near future. Thanks to all instructors who have been a big influence to Michaels current Math knowledge thus far.

Our daughter has never loved math and often struggled to keep a good grade in the class. After only one month of attending Mathnasium, we saw that she regained her confidence in preparation for her 8th grade year in Algebra 1! She began working with Mathnasium during the summer and was pleased to report the first week back to school that she would "have been in a world of hurt" if she hadn't cemented some of those Pre-Algebra basics! We will definitely be returning to Mathnasium next summer to keep her skills sharp for high school.

My kids love going to Mathnasium and are growing even further in their love of math. We have been very happy with the instructors and the help they provide to our children.
Jordan is an amazing manager and is always positive and upbeat which makes the environment so welcoming to come to. He definitely makes a difference and takes the time to great each student and makes it personal which is something that is not easy to find now a days.
Thank you for opening this amazing learning opportunity for our children.

This has been a wonderful experience for us. The staff is so dedicated and friendly; especially Jordan. The kids love him. Our kids are all over the map, when it comes to skill levels and attitudes towards math. The folks at Mathnasium design each curriculum to help our kids work toward their own individually tailored goals. Sometimes the kids "don't feel like going", but once they get there, time flies and they don't want to leave. I'm so glad we joined up!

My 16 year old daughter was struggling desperately last year in school. She was having difficulty staying focused on math assignments and studying for tests. Mathnasium has worked with her to focus her skills to where she actually understands the concepts. She is more confident and less anxious about her homework. Thank you! Beth S.

I was just tired of fighting with my son when it came to his math grade. I was about to just throw my hands in the air, when I discovered Mathnasium. Mathnasium turned his grade around. 25% to 78% in 6 weeks. His attitude changed, he started bragging about his math class and how he understood what was being taught. Mathnasium gave me a happy kid and a happy home.

As my child continues to encounter greater mathematical complexity within the curriculum concepts, the Mathnasium instructors have supported him in learning to balance academic goals, reasoning and thinking, and skill application. His weekly sessions have positively impacted his ability to have success with the advanced middle school mathematics curriculum.
