My son started last year at a level behind, after assessment. He is now all caught up and math has become easier for him.
The staff at the Lake Oswego center are very respectful, professional, love working with kids and are prompt to replying when i email or just stop in to ask a question.
I am so glad that we’ve been able to have Luke in your program. Thanks for been around!
Sincerely,
Martha

Mathnasium has been very professional and easy to work with from the very beginning. The atmosphere has been welcoming and the staff is well equipped in tutoring/teaching when needed. We are very thankful our son was able to jump ahead in math and is looking forward to returning in the summer to sharpen his math aptitude during the school break.

Great curriculum that is helping our son excel and greatly improve in math. He loves going and has fun, feels challenged and awarded for his success. All teachers are kind and offer great updates on progress of our son so we feel up to date. He's learning way more about math than he does in his regular school class.

My kids actually enjoy going there because of the people that work at this particular Mathnasium. They speak very highly of them and enjoy seeing and working with them. They people who work here make it fun for them when of course they would rather be doing something else. I am impressed with who ever manages this location and their ability to acquire this kind of talent. You can find all kinds of people that know math. But it takes a specific type of individual to connect with kids.

Mathnasium has completely changed my daughter's feelings toward math. She used to struggle with her homework, and it was always a chore. Now she feels confident, and math has become her favorite subject. Her fifth grade math teacher called her a "division wizard." That's all thanks to Mathnasium. I would recommend it to anyone.

My child had a great experience this summer! He’s talking about math a lot more and seeing it as part of his daily life. I am so glad to have such a wonderful place to take my child to deepen his understanding of math. The staff are caring and professional. We’re looking forward to more Mathnasium next summer!

We love Mathnasium! While our daughter has been performing well in math we decided to utilize Mathnasium to continue to foster her love for mathematics as we’ll as keep her sharp during the summer. We’ll continue Mathnasium throughout the school year to ensure that she always feels supported academically and doesn’t ever get to a place where she loses confindence or falls behind. Eberyone there is very kind and helpful and we love our neighborhood Mathnasium!

We have really appreciated the team work, communication and welcoming environment you all provide. Trying to get through a lot of math in such a short time over the summer has been challenging for our son, but with the great support, he is reaching his goal and completing the goal of skipping ahead a class for HS.

I highly recommend this program. My kids have been learning so much and are way ahead of their classmates. Most importantly, they never complain about going cause of the fun and awesome group of tutors at the Boones Ferry location. I hope they know how much we appreciate their knowledge, enthusiasm and positive energy.

Top-notch assessment of my daughter's math skills, and thoughtful plan to address some weak areas and help her get up to speed. The tutors were helpful, clear and very good at explaining things in a way that was easier for her to grasp than her high school math teacher was using.
This was important to help bring her confidence - which was horribly low - and helped her feel like getting up to speed was truly possible. Her grade improved. I wish we'd started with Mathnasium sooner, because she ultimately opted to withdraw from pre-calculus. I think she'd have mastered it had we come in earlier in the academic year.

It has become obvious to me that Math Education needs a new paradigm. Being a linear chain of dependencies, a student can't afford to fail to master one, let alone many, components along the way. Very few students survive the 25-1 student teacher method for 8-12 years. The only solution is a commitment to blend outside instruction to ensure that no child is left behind in Math. Mathnasium has helped our 16 year old go back and pick up all that he'd missed, which has now become useful in PreCalc. What's more, he's actually energized by each aha moment in his catch-up. Finally, Mathnasium goes a step further and teaches the student how to think his way to the solution. There's no shame in seeking augmentation through Mathnasium, in fact this ought to be the paradigm from 3rd grade.

Since my son has been going to Mathnasium, I have noiticed that he can rationalize math in many ways. For example, when I was young, I memorized my multiplication facts and that was all I knew. My son is able to process the number in his head using a different method if he forgets the answer. While he still has his struggles, I feel like he is building a good foundation for the future. Also, my son really likes the instructors at Mathnasium and I have found them to be very helpful and responsive. We have been going for about a year and I appreciate the continuous feedback on his progress.

Mathnasium did a great job of identifying holes in our daughter's mastery of key concepts. With sensitivity to her learning style and knowledge of her specific needs they supported her progress. The pace of learning was surprisingly fast. She loved the Mathnasium team and looked forward to her time there. Nice job Mathnasium!

We are a long-time Mathnasium family. We love how the practice at Mathnasium has helped my 6th grader keep up with content and class. She is proud when something new is introduced at school and she has already seen it or practiced it. The instructors are kind and friendly to my daughter. They communicate well with parents and adjust the plan when adjustments need to be made. We are grateful for this service but we also wish your rates were not going up.

Our daughter was struggling in math after relocating from the East Coast. Her high school counselor suggested Mathnasium and we couldn't be more pleased. She is learning the basics of math that she didn't know in an environment that is extremely comfortable for her. Her confidence level is icing on the cake!

Brittney has been with Mathnasium for 5 years now and we have been very pleased with her experience with Mathnaisum. They have helped her transition from junior high to high school math with great success. She is a senior this year and heading off to college this Fall. We are confident that the skills she has developed from Mathnasium has prepared her very well for college level math. The staff at Mathnaisum is amazing, in particular Jozef and Mark. They are always so courteous, always kind and respectful and so willing to make changes to customize the curriculum that best suits Brittney. One of the things I love about Mathnasium is the consistent feedback that they give parents on the progress of their student. The feedback is based on the tests that they give periodically to the students to measure their grasp of the material and their mastery of it. We are very grateful for all their wonderful help and support these past several years. We can't thank them enough. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Mathnasium!

My kids have both benefited from their instruction. I have seen growth in math abilities from both kids. They love the instructors, who make math fun and share a contagious energy around hard work and determination. I only wish you guys were open on Fridays! Also, a bike stand would be really helpful. We live close enough to ride our bikes and a stand to lock them up outside would be awesome! At the moment the kids are stashing the bikes behind the building and hoping they do not get stolen.

I have found math need to seem to be very useful and practical for for two different different types of children. Mathnasium is very good at finding the holes in each child's Math capabilities and backfilling. As well as, Mathnasium gives them an alternative way of thinking about math that they may not be receiving in the classroom.
Feel free to quote, but we don't put our names out publicly. Thank you.

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.
