Why Choose Mathnasium?
April 16, 2022
A.C.
Mathnasium provided excellent support for my high school student. I think my child was reluctant to ask questions at school. Mathnasium staff made them feel comfortable asking questions and my child always felt like they learned something after each Mathnasium session. My only regret is that we didn’t find Mathnasium until high school. Regardless, I think my child gained skills and confidence to be ready for their university’s math requirement.

All that needs to be said is that my 13-year-old daughter has not given me trouble once about going to Mathnasium and, in fact, makes sure that I have scheduled her appointments for the week. She is also getting better grades in math and she really likes the teachers there which says so much coming from a teenager.
I recommend it to everyone!

My son loves coming to Mathnasium. My only wish for improvement is to work on staff retention b/c we have experienced a lot of turnover in our short time.

I think my child is developing a solid foundation and will be ready for college algebra soon. The encouragement, guidance and support from Mathnasium is stellar!

Kaitlyn and the teachers at mathnasium are just so kind to my daughter and very encouraging to her as she is going through a hard time in her life. I feel like the teachers there make her feel good about herself and confidence is so important in math especially for girls.
I appreciate them all!

My daughter has been doing the summer program 3x a week. She has really enjoyed it and often talks about the teachers she works with and how much she likes them. She constantly comments on how good they are at teaching things in a way that is easy for her to understand. I'm so happy we gave Mathnasium a try this summer as I really think it is helping advance her Math skills and feel confident she is not losing anything over the summer that she was taught last year.
I really really wish you would consider offering a graduated cost with 1 and 2-day a week options for your program during the school year. I feel like it is just too expensive for us to pay the full cost and only be able to come once or twice a week. With my other kids and all their activities, logistically I would not be able to get her there more than 1-2 times per week given the limited hours during the school year.
Thank you!

I wish there was more communication between Mathnasium and the school. However my kids have improved greatly in most areas of math skills! Everyone is ALWAYS so kind and wonderful with my kids.

Our daughter was being left behind in math. She wasn't getting the personalized attention at an expensive private school that she needed in order to grasp the fundamentals and excel. It wasn't until we received some standardized testing that we discovered the problem. Mathnasium was a great decision. She has not only caught up but is now ahead of her class. The curriculum keeps the basics fresh in her mind through weekly practice, while moving her ahead with new concepts and lessons. She really enjoys her time at the learning center. The incentive system constantly challenges her to achieve in a fun way and at her own pace. Mathnasium has been great for our daughter and our family.

Mathnasium takes the stress out of my home and puts my son in a space where he is around instructors that really know the material; rather than me, as a parent, trying to google math videos to teach myself the material and then teach it to my son.

I appreciated Mathnasium even more when our school switched to online instruction and my child was able to continue doing Mathnasium at home. The extra help on the schoolwork made a world of difference. The Mathnasium instructors are great!

Anna has learned so many of her basic math facts. She is more confident in doing her homework. Her grades reflect that she is improving. She loves going to Mathnasium and looks forward to each session.

The high school schedule is so full that my child only had about 20-30 minutes per week to get math help at school. Going to Mathnasium 2-3 times per week for 90 minutes each time has been a huge help. I see my child’s confidence improve and test scores have gone up since we started Mathnasium. We will use Mathnasium to prepare for the ACT too! The teachers there are excellent.

This program is tremendous! If your child is willing to put in the work they will see improvement! Staff is caring and helpful!

The work environment is made to be fun and encourages a feeling of accomplishment so that going to the center is not a chore but a fun choice. My son needs extra help in math but I have recommended it to friends whose kids are very strong in math to give them a place to grow and strengthen their natural math thinking outside of the classroom.

Mathnasium has been great for both of my daughters. I love that we don’t have a set time to be there. It’s costly though, so that would be my only warning to family and friends looking for tutoring.

I have already recommended Mathnasium to a friend! For the first time ever my daughter is feeling like she understands and can do math! Thank you Mathnasium tutors!

We have been using Mathnasium of Kirkwood since November of 2016. Being in this program has given my son a lot of confidence as well as love for math. The teachers are amazing, very patient and very friendly. They have approached me several times informing me how well my son is doing and what they have achieved so far. I highly recommend this center.

We would not have made it through math class this year without mathnasium! My daughter had never struggled in school, but middle school math was suddenly very difficult. After several evening of tears and a failed test I knew I had to do something. Mathnasium was our answer. Suddenly homework was a breeze again. She is actually looking forward to her next math class. Thank you mathnasium.

My daughter was getting a 'D' in algebra and with Mathnasium's help she has a "B-"! Thanks again to the wonderful staff at Mathnasium of Kirkwood!

My daughter is a highschool student and Mathnasium found gaps in her math foundation from 4th grade that have been the root of the problems in algebra. This is an awesome program!

My kids found it difficult to listen to me help them with math homework. I didn't know how far back I needed to review math facts and skills with them to catch them up with the rest of their class. Mathnasium had the tools, talent, and time they needed to succeed.

Before Mathnasium, math homework was a fight. We would hear every excuse not to get it done and many evenings ended in tears. Now, with Mathnasium, math is the first homework to be completed, and without issue. We have smiles instead of tears. Mathnasium has been the answer to this parents prayers.

With the help of Mathnasium of Kirkwood, my daughter is in 5th grade math and she is 8years old! She has skipped two grades of math! I am very grateful this program doesn't just help those that are falling behind but it also helps kids get ahead of the game in math!! It's very much needed with STEM being at the forefront for careers of the future!

Mathnasium has wonderfully kind and caring staff. They are helping my kids fill the gaps in their math skills and understand their current curriculum.
Thank you!

Mathnasium has been a great option for math tutoring for our son. It's as intensive as you'd like it to be. The approach of finding gaps in skills and working to fill in those gaps before moving on to the next skill set just makes sense. We love Mathnasium!
