The Story of Your Local Mathnasium - Spokane North

1. When was your center/re’s grand opening??

A: The grand opening of the first Mathnasium in Spokane, located on South Hill, was in December of 2017. The owner, Jerry Post, recalls the days leading up to the grand opening fondly, mentioning that parents were calling and pleading for him to get their students started and learning before the center officially opened. Of course, Jerry obliged and led private sessions in the building next door just to accommodate those families. Mathnasium grew so quickly that a new center opened in Northern Spokane shortly after, in June 2018. We are now on the verge of opening a third center in the Spokane Valley by the beginning of September 2023!

A: Here are a few of our recent testimonials:

"My son loves math again because of your amazing staff."- MS

"My son has shown great improvement in math and every other subject in school. He looks forward to Mathnasium every week!" - LP

"My 8th grader changed school districts and was behind in pre-algebra. November, he had an F. By February, he was understanding the material better than some of his classmates. We stopped attending and he hasn’t regressed. Then our running start HS senior had to pass math class for graduation. 1 month before the final, she attended and was able to get help to prepare for the final. She hadn’t passed her previous tests and got a “B” on the final!! Great job to the staff! I’ve referred Mathnasium several times already." - EE

"Before Mathnasium, my son hated tutoring. Now, he likes that he can move at his own pace and says he finally understands. We are thrilled!" -KG
