Although my daughter was regarded as adequate at math in her school I had concerns about how the standards of her school measured up to other schools, and how she would measure up to her peers once she completed middle school. I want her to be good at math not only because it is an important life skill but also because she is interested in science in general and most sciences are built on a foundation of math. For these reasons I enrolled her in Mathnasium. She has been enrolled for over a year now and her skill and confidence in math has increased dramatically. Not only does she look forward to math class at school and her Mathnasium tutoring, but she also discusses math problems with her friends from school and has become a resource for them when they don't understand a problem. Additionally her increase in math skill has been a bonus with her High School testing since she's currently in 8th grade. We did have some concerns with the transition to remote tutoring earlier in 2020 but Mathnasium handled it very well and the remote format is now my daughter's preference. I can't say enough good things about Mathnasium.

overall experience has been very good--recently my child has been going over stuff she feels like she already knows so doesn't feel like getting as much out of it but generally has been beneficial; also, some of the new people have worked with her and even when she gets something right, they often explain to her that she did it incorrectly only to correct themselves later and/or cover up for their inexperience--this is okay-ish but does waste time and comes off as sexist since it's mostly guys explaining this stuff to her and then realizing they were wrong

Eunice and team are phenomenal and do great job with Mia. She gained so much confidence and her scores are up there!
The team is very personal, care and genuinely thinking how to improve all students.
During Covid-19 they take the correct measurements to ensure safe and healthy environment to all; students and teachers.
Thank you team!

The tutors are very friendly. The one on one learning has given my girls, who are in 5th and 6th grade, a boost in their confidence. They are dedicated to Math like never before and find it fun. The Center offers great incentives to students for reaching their goals. Their test scores have improved dramatically. Thank you Mathnesium of Ravenswood, Chicago!

My children have not been utilizing Mathnasium for too long yet, but so far I have found it to be beneficial to them, especially being very helpful for my older child who is starting in some math that I do not always personally remember how to do (Pre-Algebra) when he needs help. We plan to continue with Mathnasium online while staying at home and then to resume in person sessions once life is more back to normal.

Mathnasium was a great experience for my 8th grader. The pre-test was efficient in determining his current areas of strength and weakness. He enjoyed working with all the instructors and never complained about going.
Mathnasium is a great option for keeping math skills sharp in the Summer. We'll probably enroll again this Summer.

It has been a wonderful experience for my three kids. The director Eunice has been extremely helpful in helping customize a program for my 12th grader. All the teachers are knowledgeable and very helpful. My youngest loves to go and my middle kid has gained a lot of self-confidence in maths. We truly benefitted from the Mathenasium on WILSON Avenue and will continue to come on a regular basis. Recommend it very strongly and with no reservations.

Our daughter used to struggle with math and give us a hard time about starting her math homework. Since going to Mathnesium, she has mastered a number of math skills and she no longer gives us (her parents) a hard time about doing her math homework. She not longer hates math and she feels comfortable with the subject.

Our daughter's confidence in math was dramatically improved after attending Mathnasium on a weekly basis. We found the management easy to interact with and our daughter really enjoyed the teaching team. On days when she needed additional help with her math homework, she was not only able to get help, it often helped her better understand the work.

Teachers are friendly and passionful.
My daughter stays longer when she goes to the Ravenswood Mathnasium, math learning center. It is totally opposite situation that she told me before she goes to the math learning center.
My daughter keep saying she would stay only one hour or less But every time when we visit Mathnasium I should wait for her 15 more minutes than we were supposed to finish the math work.
Most of all, it is pleasant math time for my daughter and she enjoyed a lot.
Thanks

My girls started at the center a few weeks ago. They are enthused by the goals and variety of methods that the instructors use, and are excited to be working toward “stars” on their cards. It all makes math seem so fun...I’m so pleased that they are having such a positive experience! I had no doubt that the center would motivate them to continue their learning throughout the Summer.

Our daughter has learns so much from Mathnesium !
Theee huge improvements are:
1) before Mathnesium, our daughter refused to start her math homework and she had a low self-esteem about learning math, now she is eager to do her math homework!
2) She is learning math concepts she did not know before which is helping her!
3) She is learning that hard work and continuous effort pays off. This is a major life lesson !
