Mathnasium of Round Lake Beach's personalized algebra tutoring programs are designed to support students at every stage of their math journey.
We support students through the transition to abstract thinking by building mastery of integers, fractions, order of operations, and introductory variables—the algebraic reasoning skills essential for Algebra 1 readiness.
Our tutors work with students on multi-step equations, linear functions, graphing, and word problems using personalized plans that turn this foundational course into a confident launchpad for advanced math.
We help students navigate fast-paced topics—factoring polynomials, quadratics, exponentials, and logarithms—developing advanced problem-solving capabilities critical for Precalculus, standardized tests, and college-prep coursework.
At Mathnasium of Round Lake Beach, our specially trained math tutors help students of all skill levels learn and master algebra. We support students in Prealgebra, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2, as well as topics like expressions, equations, functions, graphing, polynomials, and exponential relationships.
We provide personalized, face-to-face instruction in a caring and fun group environment. Our tutors use clear, everyday language, meet students where they are, and guide them step by step so algebra feels understandable and confidence-building.
We use the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach designed to help students truly understand how algebra works while strengthening critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Our tutors combine proven interactive techniques with personalized learning plans tailored to each student’s needs and learning style. This makes algebra clear, meaningful, and easier to apply both in class and in real-world situations.
Students’ Mathnasium journey begins with a diagnostic assessment that helps us identify their current skills, learning gaps, and goals. Using these insights, we create a personalized learning plan that focuses on exactly what each student needs, whether they need to catch up, keep up, or get ahead.
With the plan in place, our tutors deliver targeted, supportive instruction, adapting in real time to the student’s learning style. This approach helps students fill knowledge gaps, strengthen foundational skills, and build lasting confidence as they progress through algebra.

Education:
BS in Mathematics Education from UW-Whitewater, MS in Education from UW-Madison
Years of experience teaching math:

What do you like most about learning?
What I like most about learning is discovering new ideas and being able to apply them to my everyday life. I especially enjoy making connections between math and the real world. Seeing math show up in practical, meaningful ways really ignites my love of numbers and makes learning exciting!
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
I am always encouraging students and reminding them that learning is a process. Even if they don’t know something yet, they all have so much potential. I encourage students to make mistakes because mistakes are an important part of growth, which helps students build confidence, and I help them see that everyone is a mathematician because math shows up in our everyday lives.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
Pre-K and middle school math
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I make learning fun by showing students that mistakes are okay, and even encouraged! I make mistakes myself and don’t shy away from modeling that. I also maintain a positive attitude and show my students that they are capable. Reminding them that they are working hard and should be proud of themselves and their accomplishments helps create a positive, encouraging learning environment.

Education:

Years of experience teaching math:
<1 year
What do you like most about learning?
What I like the most about learning is realizing how easy the topic actually is. You think it is a super difficult topic just because it is new, but once you practice it, it becomes almost second-hand and it opens doors into more advanced math topics.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
One time, a student brought in a study guide for an upcoming test that he was struggling with, and I was working with him, explaining unit prices, and I remember telling him that whatever unit the problem is asking for, that goes on the bottom of the fraction. He immediately began to understand it, remarking on how much sense it made, and the next time he was here, he told me he got a 100%.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
Pre-K - 8th grade + High School Algebra
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I like to talk with the kids about things in their lives, pop-culture, and just make them feel like they know me; I'm their friendly teacher. Careful, this backfires a lot. They do their math and then I let them take small breaks if they want to talk off topic for a little bit, then rope them back in. The kids like to talk, and I like to listen.

What do you like most about learning?
I like to understand. The more I can learn, the more I can fit a self-consistent narrative to the universe, the happier I am!
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
I’ve seen a log of specific mathematical conceptual gains for all ages K -> College. I think the best thing is when kids increase their belief in logic. In principle, the world is understandable. Careful, rigorous thought can lead us to more understanding and better outcomes.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
All of it! Especially when I can concretely demonstrate it’s usefulness to students.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I try to make it beneficial for students. Simultaneously, I have fun! Sometimes students have fun with that combination.
Kathy
Instructor
Education:
B.S. in Biology, Illinois State, M.B.A. from Lake Forest School of Management
Years of experience teaching math:
I have not formally taught math prior to Mathnasium. I did mentor my three children in math as I have a science background. I also mentored many co-workers at Abbott/Abbvie on scientific research design that is heavily math focused.
What do you like most about learning?
I love learning when it explains topics, expands my understanding and makes problem-solving faster.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
The biggest impact is when the student understands why calculations work. I enjoy when they understand place value and fractions, fractions and percentages, and word problem set-ups. When they understand, their confidence builds.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I enjoy teaching word problems the most followed by conversion of fractions to percentages and decimals. A good understanding sets the student up for more challenging math.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I have a positive attitude about math and try to incorporate examples, such as shopping, into problems. I try to be as encouraging as I can, especially when I ask them to self-correct a wrong answer.

What do you like most about learning?
I like being able to teach students new topics. I enjoy seeing students learn a topic and then being able to apply the topics themselves.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
Students are able to understand time/clock problems a lot better when I use the mini clock to demonstrate hours vs. minutes and AM vs PM.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
Algebra
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I like to use visuals and drawing things out to give the students a better idea of the situations.

What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
A lot of the students I have instructed have gone on to demonstrate their understanding of math concepts by passing mastery checks and leveling up.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I enjoy teaching pre-algebra or middle school math.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I let them spin the wheel and add tallies to the Mastery Check Challenge poster.
