We prepare students for ACT® math success with targeted instruction that strengthens essential skills, teaches proven test-taking strategies, and builds the confidence needed to achieve their goal scores.
We help students master core ACT® math areas—including Algebra, Functions, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Statistics & Probability—by filling foundational knowledge gaps and building the mathematical fluency required for test day.
Our caring tutors equip students with essential test-taking techniques, teaching them how to pace themselves through questions, navigate complex word problems, eliminate careless errors, and make smart tactical decisions under timed conditions.
During sessions, students work through authentic ACT®-style practice, track their progress step by step, and develop the confidence and test-day composure needed to perform their best and achieve college admissions targets.
At Mathnasium of Littleton, we teach for understanding and help students deeply understand math concepts, instead of just memorizing them.
Our tutors follow test prep plans customized to each student's skill level and goals. The plans build on the student's existing knowledge and introduce new concepts gradually so that they can truly understand the ACT® math material.
Students in Littleton can achieve better ACT® math test scores and even transform how they think and feel about math by working with Mathnasium's specially trained math tutors.
We ensure that students learn at their own pace, so that they feel prepared both for test day and for the challenges of higher education.
Mathnasium of Littleton offers both in-center and online ACT® math tutoring because we know how difficult it can be to balance test prep with a busy high school schedule.
Regardless of which option they choose, students will receive the same quality of live, face-to-face instruction as they would in person.

Karen Lossing
Executive Director
Karen is a powerhouse in the world of education, with a mission to make math click for every child.

Karen earned her master’s and teaching certificate and became a classroom teacher. During her years of teaching, she worked as an interventionist and district liaison for math curriculum and instruction.
After nearly a decade working in schools, Karen shifted gears to supplemental education in 2013 and opened the doors to her first Mathnasium franchise. Karen's first learning center has been recognized as a top performing location for several years in a row.
In addition to the work she does at her learning centers, Karen has served on the Mathnasium Franchise Advisory Committee, where her influence has been instrumental in shaping the company's direction and curriculum.

Youngkun's journey in education began with his pursuit of a bachelor’s degree in Pure Mathematics at Revelle College, University of California San Diego (UCSD).

Since 2013, Youngkun has been actively involved in tutoring and various educational initiatives, demonstrating his commitment to education both within and beyond academia.
In January 2015, Youngkun became an instructor at Mathnasium, driven by a desire to make a direct impact on students' mathematical experiences. His dedication and leadership abilities quickly became evident, and by late 2017, he had transitioned to the role of Center Director. His continued success led to his promotion to Director of Operations in early 2023, where he now oversees multiple Mathnasium centers, including those in San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas, and Cincinnati.
Youngkun firmly believes that every student deserves to approach math with confidence. He is a staunch advocate of the Mathnasium method, which emphasizes a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and aims to eliminate the fear of math that often impedes student progress.

Zach
Assistant Center Director
Hello, my name is Zachary and I have been an instructor at Mathnasium of Littleton for 7 years, all the way back to when I was just 15! Besides my passionate love for mathematics & teaching the subject, I enjoy many things. Throughout the year, I play Ultimate Frisbee. In addition, I love to travel, whether it be to Europe, Mexico, Washington D.C., Moab or Glenwood Springs. I traveled to Mexico five years ago to help with a Habitat for Humanity project. In my free time, I enjoy solving logic puzzles, like Sudokus or one of my Rubik's Cubes. I've always loved working with kids and have always enjoyed math so sharing my knowledge with students at Mathnasium is a perfect fit.
Favorite Number: My favorite number is 1729. There was a man named Srinivasa Ramanujan who was a famous mathematician in the early 20th century. Despite growing up in India and having very limited access to the mathematical knowledge of the time, he taught himself and was sought out by English mathematicians for his work in all fields of math. A colleague and friend of his, G.H. Hardy, visited Srinivasa in the hospital and mentioned that his taxicab number, 1729, was an unusually dull number. Srinivasa remarked that in fact, it was not. 1729 is the smallest number that can be written as the sum of two cubes in two different ways, 10^3+9^3 and 12^3+1^3. Nowadays, 1729 is known as a taxicab number for this exact reason. Additionally, the sum of the digits, 19, times its reverse, 91, gives you back 1729. These types of interesting facts that you can find for every number show the true beauty in mathematics.
Favorite Math Joke: Why do mathematicians always get Christmas and Halloween confused? Because Oct 31 = Dec 25. In base 8 (Oct), the number 31 is the same as the number 25 in base 10 (Dec or Decimal).
Fun Fact: People at school and in the Ultimate Frisbee community call me Steve due to the fact that there were two people named Zach on our high school frisbee team. I received the name Steve and the nickname has stuck ever since.
What is your dream? Living in Spain with an enjoyable career and becoming fluent in Spanish.

FAQ
ACT® tests student proficiency in:
Prealgebra
Algebra
Geometry
Trigonometry
Statistics & Probability
In Prealgebra and Algebra, students will encounter operations, equations, and inequalities.
Geometry questions mostly focus on shapes, angles, and areas.
Trigonometry questions usually include sine, cosine, and tangent functions.
Statistics & Probability questions may involve interpreting data and calculating the mean and probability.
The main differences between the ACT® and SAT® math sections are in the scope of topics and question formats.
Math topics: The SAT® is more focused on algebra and data analysis, while the ACT® includes additional topics like geometry and trigonometry.
Format: The ACT® typically features more straightforward questions, while the SAT® includes complex word problems and multi-step problems that require deeper analysis.
Scoring: The ACT® math section is scored on a 1–36 scale, while the SAT® math section ranges from 200 to 800.
Allotted Time: The ACT® provides approximately 1 minute per question, whereas the SAT® provides around 1.5 minutes per question.
Calculator Policy: Both the ACT® and SAT® allow calculator use for all math questions, subject to each test’s calculator policy.
The range of topics and structure of questions will help students decide how to best prepare for each test based on their strengths and learning style.
A good math score on the ACT® depends on what the student's college goals are and the schools they're applying to.
The ACT® math section is scored on a scale of 1 to 36, with the national average score being around 20-21.
A score of 24-26 is considered competitive for most colleges and universities. For top-tier universities and more selective schools, students may want to aim for a score of 30-34.
The perfect score of 36 is rare but highly impressive.
If students are aiming for merit-based scholarships, they may want to pursue a score of 28 or higher to increase their eligibility.
A good score is ultimately the one that aligns with the admission requirements of students’ desired schools.
