Alex was amazing, caring, and understanding when our daughter was afraid to study. She absolutely loves Mathnasium now and she believes she can continue learning math while having fun and seeing older “cool kids” who love math and want to help her learn.
I can’t say enough good things about Mathnasium. I tell everyone about it and fully support it. Great program. Great teachers. Great philosophy... (bad website) ;)

Since our son has started at Mathnasium he has improved tremendously. His attitude regarding math has gotten better because he is no longer frustrated or struggling. His teacher has noticed the improvement and growth in confidence as well. We are thankful and appreciative of the help and support he has received.

My son started going to Mathnasium about a month ago. He desperately need help with his math. The three days a week tutoring brought his failing grade up to a B! Super easy to join and got all my questions answered. I felt very comfortable leaving my son there with the tutors. Also, the place was bright, lots of natural light which I feel is important for learning. My son looks forward to going each time.

I'm very happy with the overall experience my child is having. She tell us she loves math, which is music to our ears! She also has more confidence in math class at school.
I do wish there were incentives other than candy, such as stickers or small toys to collect. I also would like to see more Pokeman in the glass case, and perhaps other non-food lesser priced rewards. One thought is that you might have easy-to-peel clementines as an option, so those of us who don't want our kids

We came into the facility knowing nothing about the business. We were greeted with understanding and thoughtfulness. It is so disheartening when you see your child struggling. The staff are so positive and gave us hope from the very first visit. Now that my son has been going from approximately a month his confidence has increased along with his test scores. Mathnasium has been a life saver for our family!

Whenever my daughter has needed help with math, I have taken her to Mathnasium of Coralville. She started there full-time when I homeschooled her (7th and 8th grade) and has gotten As and Bs in her math classes at West High as a result. When she needed help boosting her ACT math score, I knew right where to take her! Lol! Sheila (the owner) has always been very kind and compassionate and helpful! I highly recommend Mathnasium of Coralville!

We love Mathnasium! My son is at the high school geometry level and has greatly benefited from his time at Mathnasium. He is on the autism spectrum, and everyone at the center has been kind and accommodating. As a former home-school student, Mathnasium has also been helpful to him in terms of ignoring distractions (students work in a large room - while it is not noisy, it is not silent, either). Sheila, at the Coralville location, is an excellent resource and was more than willing to answer our questions and accommodate our son's needs. In the time he has been attending Mathnasium, his skills have greatly improved in terms of math, time management, selective attention, and emotional regulation. We highly recommend Mathnasium for students of any age and level!

When our daughter started 2nd grade, she struggled keeping up in math and soon fell behind her classmates. We decided to try Mathnasium and have been very pleased with results we have experienced. Over the past several months, our daughter's school test results and confidence have improved. The staff, Shelia, Theresa, Jess and Claire to name a few, have been very instrumental in the significant improvement of our daughter's math skills. With the end of 2nd grade approaching, our daughter's math results are now at grade level. I definitely recommend Mathnasium for any student who needs assistance.

All the teachers / instructors are super, and our daughter was able to work on sections she missed while she attended a school overseas. The teachers are very supportive and passionate with what they do. I recommend Mathnasium very highly. Mathnasium is great for students of all levels, from somebody needing extra help, to somebody who is advanced.

Both my daughters have improved their math skills. They look forward to go and do their math for an hour. The tutors are great, they give them individual attention and explain the areas that is hard for them in different ways paitently till they master it.
Very happy and grateful for their hard work and patience.

Mathnasium is a wonderful resource. Each and every member of the Mathnasium staff are delightful and extremely courteous and welcoming to the students. There are wonderful incentives/motivation in place to push students to work hard and try their best day in and day out. It’s still a bit early to determine improvement for my kiddo, but I will update again around April 15. Another thing I’d like to add, my child has ADHD and a couple of other diagnoses and she LOVES it! Again, the staff are super great with her and others. I’m grateful to have a resource like Mathnasium. The owner, Sheila is awesome as well. I can’t say enough great things about this establishment.

Appreciated the structure of the work assignments and pre/post test progress. Homework help from teachers was great and some were especially encouraging and helped build confidence.
The traffic and construction around the location added a layer of complexity to sessions that actually made it harder to get to sessions and shortened them in a way that impacted the overall value of the investment.
Pleased with results, but the expense was significant.

I don’t know what the magic is but My kids LOVE this place! They all beg to go there and do extra math! We started with one of our kiddos who was struggling a bit with computation, and was completely uninterested in math. She has gained a love for math and motivation to do it! The other two wanted to join in and mostly do it for enrichment opportunities but they have gained a higher self confidence and that same motivation for math! The staff here is warm, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable!

Declan is really enjoying his math enrichment program with Mathnasium. The rewards and incentives programs that you offer are wonderful and motivate Declan!
We will be signing up our soon-to-be ninth grader this summer for enrichment and looking ahead to ACT prep.
With all good wishes,

Hello. I'm Alex Butter, Owner and Center Director of Mathnasium of Iowa City, your neighborhood math-only learning center. We help kids in grades 1-12 understand math by teaching the way that makes sense to them.
When math makes sense, kids leap way ahead – whether they started out far behind or already ahead in math. Our formula for teaching kids math, the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids learn math for over a decade across 1,000+ centers in the US and Canada:
Our specially trained math instructors will teach your child how to understand math in an individual setting – our unique approach enables us to effectively explain math concepts and lend a helping hand to every student. Our tutors foster a caring, encouraging environment that helps kids thrive and learn!
Mathnasium instructors use our unique assessment process to determine (with great accuracy) exactly what each child knows and what they need to learn. Next, we design a customized learning plan for teaching the concepts the student needs to master. It doesn’t stop there – our encouraging instructors continually check progress along the way to make sure kids truly understand and retain the concepts we’ve taught. The results are transformative – kids will see measurable changes in attitude, confidence, and school progress.
Our instructors will also set aside time to provide homework help. We help kids understand the homework assignment so they feel better prepared to complete the work at home – underscoring their understanding of concepts and transforming homework frustration into a welcome challenge.
