Our daughter has been a student at Mathnasium for over a year now. She’s in seventh grade, and math has always been a struggle for her. She has liked all of the instructors she’s worked with, and Bill has been a great owner. They are very accommodating to our schedule and flexible when they can be. We also love that she can get help with her school homework and test/quiz preparation there, in addition to working on the curriculum they have set up for her.

My kids (2nd and 4th) who are homeschooling this year are way ahead of their peers in school. They always leave the program extremely happy! Additionally, the staff is very flexible and has helped me move sessions multiple times. Our schedule is always a moving target and they have been able to accommodate every request I’ve made- including day of changes!

Mathnasium has turned out to be exactly what our grandson needed. Testing on personal math skills provides for catching up in order to move ahead. Help is provided when needed on homework and on test preparation, while continuing to reinforce weaker skills. Plans for success are fitted to each young person as needed. Gradually, our grandson's grades have risen. Thank you, Mathnasium!

It's fascinating to watch as students pour into Mathnasium with a relaxed attitude, eager to get started!
Our grandson had just about given up hope that he could do well in math, until we found Mathnasium. With the dedication of Lesa Bishop and her staff, he is now gaining that hope back! She has a way of feeding not only his mind, but also the heart with her encouraging words and determination to make a difference in his math skills.
We're indeed thankful for the difference she's making in his life and in ours too as we see him improve and want to succeed again!

My daughter would resist any help in math and at the beginning would have to have a battle of wills to get her to walk in. In the 3 months we have been going she has experienced a welcoming and non-threatening environment. We have been able to make it a routine and she reminds us that it's Mathnasium day. Thank you to Lesa for ensuring her success!

My high school student (freshman) started going to Mathensium last summer.Even though he was a good in Math , but he lacked Practice and organized set of curriculum that will improve and measures his competency in different areas of Mathematics. We now see a improvement in his understanding of Math concepts and also his desire to continue there.

When working to help your child, Lesa is everything you could ever want in a partner. She is kind, a great communicator, flexible, diligent, accommodating, and just all around wonderful! When our daughter started at Mathnasium, math weighed heavily on her. Now we are thrilled to see that math is just math! It's even something she occasionally enjoys and looks forward to! :) Lesa worked closely with us the first few months to not only fill in the gaps, but keep her caught up with what she was doing in school, which often meant switching subjects around in her binder. Over the summer, she worked with us to cover the curriculum her school didn't have time to cover, to get her well positioned for the upcoming school year. We could not be happier! Lesa is great about putting our daughter with teachers she connects with. She also makes it a fun place to be -- the prizes the kids earn are things they actually like and work hard to get. I've seen it said before but it's worth repeating - I wish we would have signed her up sooner!

Both our daughters were being pushed ahead in the Douglas county school system which created confusion without understanding the fundamentals. Mathnasium program provided excellence in understanding math concepts and having confidence in the subject. They always look forward to the sessions and have fun learning math! Incredibly improved their skill-set and teaching others within weeks of starting the program.

We’ve tried to instill the love of math into our now 6th grader ever since her kindergarten year. Overtime, we settled for “You don’t have to love math, but just don’t approach it with fear or hate.” We’ve yelled and we’ve cried (not our finest moments) during homework time. We’ve purchased apps and we’ve paid for tutoring. Desperate to make her last year of elementary school a better year in math, we looked into Mathnasium this summer for some intensive work. She frowned and protested that we’ve ruined her summer. Less than two weeks of attending Mathnasium, she proclaimed, “Mathnasium makes math fun!!” She can’t wait to go there each afternoon. She then asked her after school camp teacher if she can start helping the younger kids with their math homework. We can’t thank Mathnasium enough for this attitude change that we tried so hard to find in her in the last six years!!

Our daughter's experience at Mathnasium in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, was beyond our expectations. Anxiety was turned into confidence this summer. No longer does she feel negatively about math. Now, when asked how she feels about math, our daughter smiles and says "it's pretty good" instead of "it's the worst thing ever." Thank you Leesa and all the staff at Mathnasium!

Outstanding place! My child has improved so much and continues to do so. Very satisfied. I highly recommend this place for all your kids needs. It's so organized and everything is tested and measured and it's giving our child all the fundamentals and and beyond for continued success in math through years to come.

My children LOVE going to Mathnasium in Highlands Ranch! Both children, on advanced learning plans for math, craved quicker pacing and more differentiated instruction than what they were receiving in their elementary classrooms. Partnering with Lesa Bishop and her staff of mathematicians has been such a blessing. Their comprehensive math knowledge, instructional strategies, and positive attitudes create an environment that my children appreciate.
At Mathnasium, my children are encouraged to advance at their own paces. No more waiting for everyone in the class to grasp the skill before moving forward. In nine months, my 6th grader has completed the 6th grade, 7th grade, and Pre-Algebra curriculums. In three months, my younger child completed the 5th grade curriculum and is now beginning the 6th grade curriculum. The frequent mastery checks and end-of-unit assessments ensure they are retaining what they have learned.
No longer do my children’s grade levels become the ceiling to their learning. At Mathnasium, the sky is the limit! If your child desires an accelerated pace to his/her math instruction, I highly recommend Lesa Bishop and her staff at Mathnasium in Highlands Ranch.

We found the help that my 13 year old received from the Highlands Ranch Mathnasium to be just the boost we needed as he was beginning 8th grade. Before attending Mathnasium, math homework was a drain on all of us. Many evenings this resulted in not only unfinished work, but also a level of tension between us and our son. I realize now that he was having trouble with several basic math skills. His tutors at Mathnasium quickly assessed what core skills with which he needed the most help and designed a program to fit his needs His sessions were productive and fun, and he has gained back some of his confidence to not only attempt his homework on his own, but also ask for help in a constructive way when he needs it. We couldn't be happier with Mathnasium and will continue look to their help in the future.

My 8th Grader really disliked doing his math homework. His Mom and I had trouble helping him with and were really frustrated with the whole thing. I feel that Mathnasium assessed his abilities and developed a custom curriculum for him that has been on point. The tutors at Mathnasium helped our son with the concepts that he was having the most trouble with. He has been excited about his participation, and that means a lot to us as a family. Not only is he more proficient with the concepts but also has learned some organization and social skills along the way. We are very happy with Mathnasium at Highlands Ranch! The staff has worked very hard to make my son feel more comfortable completing his work and asking for help is he has a question. Thank You!

Jack struggles with math and we were concerned that he was not going to pass Algebra 1 and have to attend summer school this year. We started with Mathnasium about 3 months before the end of the year and have seen an improvement in his test scores. There is still lots to work on and we plan to continue with Mathnasium through 10th grade to help Jack fill the gaps in his knowledge in an organized way. Working on homework assignments as part of the Mathnasium sessions has also been a massive help so that we are night fighting to get this done in the later in the evening at home when everyone is tired.

My daughter loves going to Mathnasium, we thought she had been abducted by aliens because lately she had been resisting anything to do with math. We discovered she just needed a boost in confidence with her facts, story problems and a few other areas. Thanks to the dedicated staff at Mathnasium she is starting to love math again.
