This is great place to have your child be at ease, feel comfortable, catch up and get ahead learning their math skills!!

Math took a little longer for our daughter last school year, when COVID hit I was afraid she would fall father and father behind. We enrolled her at Mathnasium for the summer and it was the best thing we could have done! Not only is she current where she should be going into 4th grade she is ten times more confident in her math learning abilities! Thank you!

My son always feels good about himself when he's done with his lesson. He tells me he feels more confident and that he's proud of himself. All staff are polite and positive.

The staff has been great - very helpful, responsive, and accommodating. We've been using Mathnasium as a supplement to our son's schooling to help him obtain a firm grasp of concepts in middle school math, and the additional work appears to be helping. Thank you, Mathnasium!

Our daughter went from a 2 out of 10 math confidence reading to a 10 out of 10 in a matter of weeks. The mentors are amazing, the math is challenging, and our daughter asks for us to sign her up... Seriously! Hats off to the fantastic system you've come up with. Straight A's in math every since.

Our grandson was struggling greatly in math. Mathnasium in Cottage Grove not only increased his understanding of math (he is now ahead of his grade level) but has changed his outlook on math, which now he loves. He continues to attend Mathnasium as they do a fair superior job of teaching than the public school he attends.

Leah needs repetition to learn and lessons are repeated at Mathnasium until she has mastered each subject.
She is very social so she enjoys going because other kids and tutors are there.
Our son also went and passed pre-calculus with a B+.
Thanks CG Mathnasium staff.

My son attended last summer and enjoyed it. This year his sister decided she wanted to go. Neither of my children struggle with math, Mathnasium has allowed them to feel even more comfortable with new and more difficult math as they encounter it.

Grandchildren absolutely love going to Mathnasium. When coming home from vacation I asked my grandson if he was looking forward to going home. He said, " yes, I want to go back to Mathnasium!" Such a great learning environment and the instructors are fantastic. They make learning math fun.

Great experience for our grandson. He has only been going to Mathnasium for about a month or two and his teacher already has noticed a difference in his math work.

Our son went from a D+ grade in pre-calculus to a B+ and we believe he can make an A. They are honest in that the explain that it will be hard and the kid has todo the work, but if the time is put in, the results are realized.
Great people to work with!
