Suggestion from my kids: if possible to have cards earning a bit quicker for kids? Gift cards can take up to two months after going three times a week for a $5 gift card? Not sure if kids have anything they could do to earn faster? Thanks for listening

Since my 12 year old has been going to Mathnasium, his standardized test scores have increased after a summer and regular math homework is much easier. His confidence has increased as well. We've had a great experience with Mathnasium and would recommend it.

We switched from Kumon and the kids really like mathnasium Better because of the one on one support. They also enjoy the curriculum and the ability to ask questions about homework.

Front office personnel are very helpful and friendly. The tutors at the tables are very nice - my son doesn't complain about going and it's building his confidence in math. Having no homework is also a plus. Both my son and I are happy with the program.

We don't have a lot of options living in HMB. The convenience of having the Laurelwood Mathnasium made it easier for us to get our son to tutoring. His grade in math increased as well as his confidence. He enjoyed the rewards and the tutors. They made learning fun. Thank you!

I already recommended Mathnasium to two people who ended up signing up (one at Laurelwood and one in Foster City), because my son Daniel started Mathnasium last year (Oct 2016) and it helped a lot. He had to cover a lot of material at his school because he moved to a school that was one year ahead in math. At first, Daniel was βfrozenβ from the pressure but the very next week after signing up for Mathnasium his attitude was more relaxed and he started getting >=90% in his tests and though his homework would still take a longer time, he got things done. So, thank you!!! We will continue coming & recommending!

My kids loved mathnasium and my daughter is definitely more confident in math. For my son, the summer program reinforced basic information to make sure he had a solid foundation going into 6th grade. For the summer program it would have been better if there were hours to come in the morning. I felt like only being able to come into the afternoon was very limiting and made it inconvenient to find a time to come. Also, would love to continue with the mathnasium but the price is so expensive for 2 siblings. Other than that, I would highly recommend and I have recommended to several families that have joined.

Thank you for the support provided to our student. We appreciate your flexibility in scheduling visits, and the willingness to accommodate specific requests regarding material covered (within reason). It was great to know your staff is all well-trained; our child enjoyed working with them all.

Received my daughter's state test result this month and her score was much higher than last year. She has so much confidence in math now. I am very proud of her. It was the best choice I made in an afterschool program for her. Thank you Mathnasium!!!

we've been so happy. the kids math knowledge has improved. scheduling is easy (though it's getting harder and harder to find a time because Mathnasium is so popular). I LOVE the level of feedback I get with assessments. The staff are always available. They even gave us a binder of concepts to work on during our trip abroad. I've recommended you to all the moms I know.

Kids like it and I think they are learning. It's a bit slow because our schedule is very limited and we could use morning or Sunday hours, esp in the summer.

Jadelyn is great to talk to. She spent a lot of time going over my child's entry exam which I appreciated. She is responsive when I need help with scheduleing. She is calm and professional. My son likes the advisor he works with there

Jadelyn, Yuta, and Tuk have been wonderful leaders at Mathnasium-Laurelwood. They have been nothing but available, approachable, flexible, and accommodating to my family. Jadelyn is open to working out ways to help satisfy whatever the specific needs of my children are at that time. As a parent, I also LOVE how flexible and easy the scheduling is, and how being in Mathnasium does not add to my kids' homework load.
My son, who already has a good grasp on math, has been able to advance beyond his grade level. My daughter, who needed more help, has flourished under Mathnasmium's care. She has excelled in her first year at middle school, and I know a good part of her success in math has to do with Mathnasium. Both of my kids tell me that they have liked all of the instructors they have had there. Of course, they have their favorites, but if those people aren't available, they are completely comfortable going to someone else's group.

Mathnasium prepared my daughter for middle school. Where many of the kids struggle, having the discipline and familiarity of what is being asked has helped her do very well in class. Thank you!

I routinely recommend Mathnasium to fellow parents. We have had SUCH A WONDERFUL experience. The administrators and instructors are extremely friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. My kids actually enjoy attending class. Moreover, teachers are willing to help with homework and prep the kids for tests. Mathnasium has been such a great asset. We are grateful to be part of the Mathnasium family!

Mathnasium is exactly the place I was looking for to help get my daughter, who hates math, the extra support she needs! What I love the most is that Mathnasium doesn't seek to compete with school curriculum. Mathnasium helps solidify gaps in understanding that schools don't fully address due to the over ambitious curriculum they have set. I also love that kids are rewarded with prizes! What a great way to build a positive association with math!

My daughter is very happy going to Mathnasium. She is learning and understanding what she is doing. She likes the teachers. The opportunity to earn prizes and the raffles keep my daughter highly motivated.
Also, I have had nothing but positive experiences with Jadelyn and Thuc. I am always amazed they have time to answer phone calls, sit with parents for one-on-ones, and teach/evaluate the kids. They never seem rushed or abrupt, and I feel I have their complete attention when we speak.

Mathnasium has been great for my son--he has firmed up his previous math skills and made a ton of progress learning new ones; he's also gotten accustomed to focusing on math problems for extended periods of time and learned not to let mistakes get him down. Thank you for all your help and for being so kind and upbeat that going to Mathnasium is never something to dread!

My sons absolutely love coming there. I'm not sure what your staff does to make math so fun but my boys are athletes not schoarlors and they ask to go every Tuesday and Friday. I'm so glad we found you. My girlfriend and I have 6 boys that attend from grade 1 to 8th and we all go a few times a week and they can't wait to go again. I have had private tutors, group tutors, home tutors and this is the only place they all say in the morning before school drop off. We're going to Mathnasium today right!!!! Thank you

Super easy to schedule sessions
Transparency in checking the growth/progress of the child
Very friendly with children but also in the meantime strict and rigourous team members!
Math made fun to kids!
Ample accommodations to family members who are waiting during sessions
Pleasant books and toys to use during wait time
Sometimes it seems to be a little expensive. It is worth while for sure, but still, for families with one income, it is hard to afford.
Improvements:
Restroom could be a little more clean
But hard to do with so many kids using restroom! :)
