Mathnasium of Newton's learning plans are customized to each student and taught by our team of instructors and math tutors empowered to inspire and excite.

We then teach math in a way that makes sense to them. Working with our math instructors at our Newton math learning center on tutoring, math homework and test prep help leads to greater confidence and abilities in math.
How do I get my student started at Mathnasium of Newton?
Our program is designed to meet the individual student’s current ability and learning style, and then build a custom learning plan specific to the student. It's not a one size fits all approach.
The first step in our enrollment process is to do a math assessment with each student. There is no cost for the assessment. It's just a matter of taking a look at a calendar and scheduling it.
This assessment gives us insight about the student's strengths or gaps in their math abilities. From there, we are able to create a customized curriculum for the student based on their abilities and math goals.
Once the free math assessment is completed, what comes next?
Becoming a member at Mathnasium of Newton is both flexible and easy. You can initiate your membership at any time and immediately begin benefitting from the Mathnasium experience without being locked into a long-term contract.

Is the math tutoring 1 on 1?
With each student having an individual learning plan, and individual learning style, our instructors are teaching each student individually. During a child’s one on one math tutoring at Mathnasium of Newton, the instructor is going to actively teach the math and review math subjects with the student. Then, as the student starts to show an understanding the Mathnasium instructor will ask the child to work independently. This gives them the time to process this new math information without the pressure and stress of being watched. It also prevents a "learned helplessness" where the student feels that they need the instructor sitting in front of them all the time in order to be successful. Afterall, we can't be there for their math tests!
The instructor will return to the student after a few moments to ensure they are doing the problems correctly. If we find they are making an error, we are able to step in before it becomes a habit and reteach the concept using a different method until the student truly shows an understanding of it. This helps your child to become a confident, independent learner.
