• Which algebra classes can your tutors teach?

  Mathnasium of Cherry Hills’s tutors work with students across every level of algebra, including Prealgebra, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2. 

  No matter where your student is, our tutors build a personalized learning plan around their current math skills, guiding them to catch up, keep up, or get ahead while building deep understanding along the way. 

• What algebra topics can your tutors cover?

  We help students master any algebra topic, including: 

  • Expressions and equations 

  • Inequalities 

  • Linear and quadratic functions 

  • Systems of equations and graphing 

  • Polynomials and factoring 

  • Exponents, radicals, and rational expressions 

  Each student's personalized learning plan focuses on exactly what they need, so every session moves them towards mastering algebra. 

• Why do you require an assessment before starting algebra tutoring?

  We start with the assessment as it gives us a clear picture of where each student stands with algebra, what they already know and understand, where the gaps are, and what they're striving to achieve. 

  From there, we build a personalized learning plan around that student specifically, instead of starting everyone at the one same place or assuming what a "typical" student at their grade level should already know. 

• What teaching approach do you use for algebra at Mathnasium of Cherry Hills?

  Mathnasium of Cherry Hills uses the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach designed to build deep understanding of algebra rather than rote memorization. 

  Our tutors first pinpoint what a student already knows, close any foundational gaps holding them back, then introduce new material step by step. 

  Sessions are face-to-face and they take place in a small, supportive group setting, guided by each student's personalized learning plan. The progress is made at students’ own pace, building the kind of confidence that changes how they think and feel about algebra altogether. 

• Can you help students who are falling behind in their algebra class?

  Yes, Mathnasium tutors work with students at every skill level, including those who are falling behind. At Mathnasium, we focus on “teaching for understanding," meaning we teach math in a way that makes sense to students. By building upon what students already know, our tutors guide them to fill any gaps in their knowledge in a supportive and encouraging environment. 

• Do you support advanced algebra students as well?

  Absolutely! We work with advanced algebra students across the board: 

  • Students in honors and accelerated courses 

  • Students looking to get ahead of upcoming coursework 

  • Students seeking enrichment beyond the classroom 

  We can also help students build the algebra skills they'll need for college entrance exams like the PSAT®, SAT®, and ACT®. 

• Will your tutors help with algebra homework?

  At Mathnasium of Cherry Hills, we can provide homework support during sessions. Instead of just providing answers, our tutors use homework as a chance to reinforce what a student is learning, walking them through the reasoning behind each problem so they can handle similar ones on their own every single time. 

• Can Mathnasium of Cherry Hills help prepare students for algebra tests and exams?

  Yes! Each student's personalized learning plan can align with the Colorado Academic Standards (CAS) for Mathematics and classroom goals, giving them a solid grasp of the material before the time for quizzes, unit tests, and final exams come. 

  For standardized assessments that include algebra content, our tutors focus on closing knowledge gaps early, so test day feels like a chance to show what students already know rather than a scramble to catch up. 

• Is online algebra tutoring available at Mathnasium of Cherry Hills?

  Yes, students can join live, face-to-face online sessions with the same tutors they'd work with at our Cherry Hills center. Online instruction follows the exact same personalized learning plan and delivers the same quality of caring, real-time support as attending in person.

• Is there a difference between in-center and online algebra tutoring?

  No, there's no difference. In-center or online, students work with the same specially trained tutors, follow the same personalized learning plan, and get the same face-to-face instruction. Many families prefer combining both formats for added flexibility.  

• Are your tutors familiar with Colorado math standards and local school expectations?

  Our tutors are familiar with the Colorado Academic Standards (CAS) for Mathematics and their specific classroom curriculum. When helpful, we align instruction with what students are working on in the local Cherry Hills’ school districts to support both classroom performance and broader math goals.  

• What grade levels do your algebra tutors work with in Cherry Hills?

  While Mathnasium of Cherry Hills works with K-12 students, algebra support tends to focus on grades 6 through 12, spanning standard, honors, and accelerated coursework.  

  We also work with students earlier than that, helping middle schoolers build the foundational skills that make algebra land the moment they get there.
