Eric Smith

As a lover of math and teaching, Eric has had an extensive career in education all over the world. Eric initially graduated from Hampton University with a degree in Accounting. After working several years in non-profit financial services within Washington D.C. and Chicago, Eric joined Teach For America and was placed in Las Vegas. It was during that time in Las Vegas where Eric both taught middle school mathematics and received his Masters of Education at the University of Nevada - Las Vegas. After teaching several years in Las Vegas, Eric moved to Dubai, UAE where he taught fourth grade in an International Baccalaureate school. After two years overseas, Eric decided to return to the United States and teach high school in Chicago. In Chicago, for the Noble Network of Schools, Eric served as an Algebra and Geometry teacher, Department Chair, and Basketball coach. Eric is a self described ‘busy body’ and ‘lover of music’. He can be found exploring new cities, trying new restaurants, or listening to a band in a variety of locations. He is excited to be at Mathnasium where he hopes to make an impact both within students' understanding of mathematics and within the Oak Park community. Fun Fact: Eric has been to over 40 states and 30 countries. He hopes to visit the remaining ten states within the next five years and eventually visit over 50 countries within the next ten.

All students begin their Mathnasium journey with a diagnostic assessment that pinpoints what they already know and what they still need to learn.

Using assessment-based insights, we will create a personalized learning plan for each student. Our detailed plan takes students step-by-step from where they are to where they need to go.

Once their personalized learning plan is ready and the pace of weekly math sessions established, students can start working with their math tutor in-center or by logging into live online sessions with them.

FAQ

Mathnasium Frequently Asked Questions

  • What math classes can your tutors teach?

    Our caring, specially trained tutors work with elementary, middle, and high school students of all skill levels looking to learn and master any K-12 math class and topic, including Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus. 

  • Do your math tutors work with students online?

    Yes, our students can attend Mathnasium at our center or log into live, face-to-face sessions with their tutor.

  • Why do you require an assessment for enrollment?

    Each student is given a diagnostic assessment that pinpoints their strengths, knowledge gaps, and unique goals, so that we can create a personalized learning plan that will put them on the best path to math mastery. 

  • Do you work with advanced students or only the ones struggling with math?

    We empower students of all skill levels to excel in math, whether they are looking to catch up, keep up, or get ahead on their math journey.   

    We work with advanced students to expand their math skills and help them achieve their greatest potential. At Mathnasium, advanced students can explore the topics beyond their school’s math curriculum and receive personalized support to achieve their unique academic goals.  

    If a student is struggling or simply looking to keep up in their math class, Mathnasium will build upon what they already know, addressing their learning gaps and teaching math in a way that makes sense to them.  

  • What does Mathnasium cost?

    Mathnasium provides premium value by combining a superior learning experience with an efficient structure that keeps costs low. There is a flat enrollment fee for our program, and students attend regularly—much like a gym membership. We recommend that they attend Mathnasium 2-3 times per week as attending less frequently will slow results and attending too often could lead to student burnout. Pricing varies by program and geographic area. Contact our center for more details on enrollment packages.

  • How do you teach math? What method or curriculum do you use?

    We use the Mathnasium Method™, a proprietary teaching approach which combines personalized learning plans with proven techniques to build math knowledge upon what students already know, so they're able to retain what they learn and gain confidence along the way. 

  • Do you give homework to students?

    No. All learning occurs under the efficient and effective guidance of our trained instructors. Adding homework would risk frustration and overload. In fact, we'll set aside some time each session to help your student with their school homework.
