Mathnasium Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is considered below grade level in elementary school?

    A student performing below grade level hasn't fully grasped the math skills expected for their age. This often means they struggle to keep up in class, which can hurt their confidence and motivation.

  • How do I know if my child needs help in math?

    Signs that a student may need additional support in math include:

    • Consistent difficulty with homework
    • Frequent frustration or anxiety during lessons
    • Lower-than-expected test scores
    • Inconsistent understanding of basic math concepts
    • Avoidance of math-related tasks or activities
    • Lack of confidence in math skills

    We start every student with a free assessment to see exactly where they are in math. This helps us understand their strengths and what they need to work on, so we can create a learning plan that's just right for them.

  • Does Mathnasium work with advanced elementary school students?

    Certainly! Advanced students can enjoy new challenges, explore math topics outside their elementary school curriculum, and pursue their unique academic goals at Mathnasium.

  • How can I make sure my 5th-grader is ready for 6th-grade math?

    • Solving word problems step by step
    • Reading and creating graphs
    • Comparing and ordering decimals
    • Working with fractions and mixed numbers
    • Understanding basic ratios and rates
    • Using negative numbers and percentages
  • Do Mathnasium’s elementary school tutors help with math homework?

    Yes. Our tutors will set aside a portion of each session to help students with their math homework.

  • How can my child get started with Mathnasium’s elementary school math tutoring?

    Enrolling your child for elementary school math tutoring is as easy as one-two-three: 

    1. Find a location. Reach out to your nearest learning center, even if your child will be learning online.
    2. Schedule an assessment. Our diagnostic skills assessment helps us create a customized learning plan for your child.
    3. Book your sessions. Your local center director can guide you and your child in setting up a tutoring schedule.
  • What happens during the initial assessment at Mathnasium?

    At Mathnasium, we understand that assessments can sometimes feel stressful for students, so we designed ours to make students feel comfortable and confident from the get-go. We start by building rapport with students, giving them a short center tour, and setting expectations.

    We conduct both a verbal and written assessment to understand how each student approaches and thinks about math. This also helps us identify their strengths, areas for improvement, and goals to create a learning plan personalized to their unique needs.  

  • Which curriculum does Mathnasium use to teach elementary school math?

    Mathnasium’s specially trained tutors do not follow a specific curriculum. Instead, we employ a proprietary teaching approach called the Mathnasium Method™.

    Our approach combines personalized learning plans with mental, visual, verbal, tactile, and written techniques to help students develop a deep understanding of math and grow their knowledge gradually, level by level.
