Thanks for visiting our website! My name is Dan Gehlbach and I serve as the Center Director as well as own the West Des Moines Mathnasium location. Please don’t hesitate to call me or fill out the form above to find out more about how we can help your child. I am a native of Urbandale and graduated from UHS. I have lived all over the world but settled back in the Waukee side of Urbandale in 2006. Before opening our center in West Des Moines in early 2011, I was in the auditing field and a Certified Internal Auditor. I have an undergraduate degree from the University of Kansas and a MBA from Arizona State University. I have worked as a high school teacher overseas, a corporate auditor for the big casinos in Las Vegas, and in the insurance and healthcare industry. I have a wonderful wife, Staci, and 2 fantastic daughters. My oldest will be a Freshman next year any my youngest in 6th grade. After learning more about Mathnasium and seeing what it offers kids, I took the risk and started Mathnasium of West Des Moines 12 years ago. It has been tremendously rewarding to help kids in our community and see them reach their potential. We have hundreds of amazing success stories as a result of our Passionate Instructors, the Inspiring Learning Environment, Teaching Style and Curriculum at Mathnasium! Let Mathnasium help your student!

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.
