Our 5th grader has gone from HATING math to having enough self confidence to at least try to solve any problem. In just one month, three times each week, he is getting B's in math. He was almost 3 years behind when he started.
He enjoys the tutors and especially having some cool men teaching. I don't know how they do it, having 3-4 students at a time but it is really working for us. I wish I could be a little spy to watch but I know the kids earn stars (or hearts) and then can trade in for treats.
THANK YOU, Mathnasium! And his teacher has also noticed a big improvement. So glad we found you guy.

Lauren has made tremendous progress since starting at Mathnasium. She already loved math and this has just built on that foundation and pushed her to solve problems she hasn’t been exposed to before. We refer to Math as “Lauren’s sport”, what a wonderful place to allow kids who love math to practice and keep improving.

I appreciate the quick shift to offer online classes during the COVID shutdown. During a time when learning was at an all time low due to public schools being closed, Mathnasium provided some much needed structure for us and continued her focus on academics. In the past, she would never had said that math was a favorite subject but for the past 2 years, when asked her favorite subject, she will respond, math without hesitation! Mathnasium has given her confidence in a subject she has never had before. Thank you!

Mathnasium has been very good at providing the foundation my kids needed for their overall mathematics learning process. The instructors focus on the missing topics in each Childs learning progression and apply the appropriate curriculum until the child has mastered the topic. The kids enjoy their time each week in class and have developed good relationships with their teachers.

We really needed some extra support this crazy Covid year and Mathnasium was there as an established and highly polished school. The remote learning felt intimate. Our child interacted with coaches and tutors probably once every 5-10 min. This kept him on track even when our child “wanted” to be distracted by other things (like YouTube and games). As a result, our child was on track, learned a ton, and generally had a positive attitude towards his 2-3X weekly classes. Honestly I couldn’t ask for more. Thanks Mathnasium!

Our daughter had struggled in math since 2nd grade. For 2 years she stopped learning and struggled in school. We would try to help and tutor at home but she would cry and at the the mention of math. Since starting Mathnasium 9 months ago, she is advancing her skills, LOVES math and has gained confidence. Thank you!

According to our children, the staff and teachers are very good in explaining and nice when they are doing it. The kids do not complain about having to attend Mathnasium, unlike other after school programs they used to attend. My husband and I are very pleased that Mathnasium is able to teach math without any unnecessary distractions. Even through the pandemic that we are living in, Mathnasium was able to hold the classes without too much interruption. Thank you, we are very pleased that we enrolled our kids in Mathnasium.

With remote learning due to COVID, my son was losing a lot of ground in higher math and I was worried that he wouldn’t be prepared for college. Also, it was just sad to see a kid who had so much enthusiasm for math lose confidence and interest. The tutoring sessions have been very helpful. The tutors are friendly and he enjoyed working with them. He also told me that they way they teach it “makes sense”. They go through topics thoroughly before moving to the next thing . I couldn’t be happier with the program and he progress he’s making.

the kids really seem to like the instructors. I can see both of my children already growing their math skills in only our second month. It is cumbersome that the scheduling system is separate from the general site. It is also difficult to see upcoming appointments as we have accidently double booked our kids without knowing since we did not see the appointments on their calendars. We have figured it out now but we had to call for help and honestly it should be easier to see previously scheduled appointments than it currently is. The website is easy to use for the children and the instant feedback from different instructors keeps the message fresh and slightly different.

We were very familiar with the center based experience and I was a little doubtful about my daughter's ability to be successful online. However, she has actually grown to prefer it and when a spot opened up for in person instruction, my daughter chose to remain online. The instructors have done a great job of keeping her engaged and we have the added bonus of zero commute time. But the best part is that my daughter feels confident about her math skills again. She has shifted from "feeling dumb" at the beginning of the school year to being given enrichment assignments by her teacher as a result of her acceleration. I fully credit Mathnasium with her progress and highly recommend!

Our 5th Grader has been at Mathnasium since 3rd Grade after struggling with math at the end of 2nd Grade.
By the end of 3rd Grade they were caught up with 2nd and 3rd Grade math and working on 4th Grade math. At the end of 4th Grade they were put into the 6th Grade Math TAG program. And after receiving an A this last Qtr for 6th Grade math, they have been bumped up to 7th/8th Grade math.
Our child has has been going to Mathnasium 4-6x week and has developed a real love for math. The time they spend at Mathnasium more than doubles the amount of math time offered by the local public school math program. And as the focus is only on our child, they are moving MUCH faster thru the material. The ROI of every hour in Mathnasium vs School math (even TAG math) is easily 3-4x. They are essentially learning in 1hr at Mathnasium what takes a week to teach at school. And I am being conservative as after 2 years of Mathnasium, not only are they caught up, they are 1-2 years ahead and this gap will continue to grow! They have already indicated they want to teach math at Mathnasium when in High School. So in our particular case, Mathnasium has been quite the successful experience.

Mathnasium staffs are fantastic! They are patient, attentive, and fun tutors. They make extra effort to understand each kid's potentials and struggles to come up with a proper plan to address the gaps. Our family has been with Mathnasium for many years and we are grateful for all the help and support our kid has received.

Mathnasium helped my 6th grader transform from someone who told me regularly (over the course of a few years) that she hated math into a girl who now tells me that math is her favorite subject. I cannot overstate what a big deal this is in our household. Big thanks to the Lake Oswego Mathnasium team for helping her grow in confidence and skill in math.

Mathnasium has been such a blessing thru covid. With reduced school education our 3 children have had the opportunity to gain great skill and confidence in math. All the instructors are fantastic and it been a great opportunity for our children to learn to work online independently with a variety of new teachers. We are so thankful for mathnasium and their kindness towards our children thru covid. They feel like friends and its really nice.

My son is a sophomore (currently taking pre-calc) and my daughter is a 5th grader. They both have a wonderful experience at Mathnasium Lake Oswego. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. I feel my children are helped and challenged in a relaxed atmosphere where they can ask questions and grow in their math skills. I highly recommend the investment.

I was skeptical about my children doing Mathnasium at Home, but they have actually preferred it to going to a live Mathnasium location. They get the same level of one on one tutoring, but without the distraction of other kids in the room to look at, and it is more convenient. Mathnasium has really taken my kids’ math skills to a new level, giving them confidence and knowledge.

Hello. I'm Bruce Withycombe, Owner/Director of Mathnasium of Lake Oswego, your neighborhood math-only learning center. We help kids in grades K-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.
