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.

I can really see that math concepts get solidified when regularly attending mathnasium. School moves on whether you totally got that concept or not and mathnasium is a great way to fill in anything you didn't totally getting. I absolutely notice better scores on weekly tests when my child is in attendance at mathnasium.

My daughter has been with Mathnasium for almost 5 years. She feels more confident in her math class at school thanks to the help of Mathnasium! If she is struggling with homework, they are very helpful to go over it with her. They are helpful with what she is working on in school and also improving her overall math skills in other areas that she WILL have in school!! WE LOVE the staff at the Lake Oswego Mathnasium!!

I appreciate the detailed emails I have received regarding the assessments and resulting learning strategies. Bella is really enjoying her sessions and feels more confident already. The mastery checks give her a sense of accomplishment and she is excited to share her results with us. This from a 15 year old who struggles with math is a big deal!

Our daughter is going into the 4th grade.She really works hard during the school year and asked this summer if she could join Mathnasium. She really wants to move forward and understand everything she is learning. We think she did some great prep work for the coming year. Next summer we will definitely join at the beginning of summer.

Mathnasium has been an excellent resource for my kids. The assessments help to target individual areas where they need practice. The ongoing support and review has been very helpful to their progress in math. The team at Mathnasium is very professional. They work hard to teach, coach and encourage the students at all levels.

Thank you for ALL you did for Ellen. She longer attends and is getting ready to graduate from H.S. She really misses the friendship, the encouragement, and discipline y'all provided. She has gained confidence in her math skills to feel she can move on and look forward to taking some college classes after y'all helped her fill in the gaps she missed from a chronic illness and some tragedies in her life.

We started here about a month ago . My 3 of my 4 kids are very enthusiastic and they like going there . My 4th one is still struggling to go but that's just her personality and I know once she is there she is ok. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable . I didn't see the improvement in my kids grade yet . Just because it is too early but I am sure it will help.

I have to say - Jozef has been incredible. Not only has he walked me through all my questions and concerns about the program and how her time at the center works - he even came in on his day off to help my daughter study for her high school final exam. All because she has really connected with him as a teacher when we first started at the LO center. I have high hopes this program, along with the homework help, will finally help my daughter feel good about math.
Kindest Regards,

It has been a very good investment in Ellen with filling in all the gaps she has missed from school due to a chronic illness she had suffered with for years. The teachers are all very encouraging, knowledgeable and more than that personable which fits Ellen's personality and which motivates her to get there and do better for them and for herself. I have noticed a huge change in her at home and thought of sending her to a counselor but really she needed confidence in herself in doing math problems and it is teaching her how to tackle other subjects as well! THANK YOU!!!!

We're still in the early stages but so far we're extremely impressed with the evaluation, I boarding, and early weeks. Sophie is showing progress we didn't expect in just a few weeks and, even more importantly, her confidence is improving which is having implications both within and beyond the math classroom. The staff is amazing as well, clearly they are connecting with Sophie which makes all the difference. Thank you!

Staff were always attentive to my daughters needs with continual support. She gained more confidence in her math skills during the over one year experience at Mathnasium. She is doing much better in her math classes as a Junior now, but knows she can always go back to Mathnasium if she begins to struggle again.

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 800+ 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.
