My son, who says he hates school, and math is his least favorite subject, loves Mathnasium! He has high abilities in math but wasn’t challenged in school and was bored waiting for other to catch on. We fully expect that Mathnasium’s help over the summer will allow him to increase his standardized test score the 1 percentage point necessary for him to skip a grade in math and enjoy math at a level that matches his ability in the fall. Not only is Mathnasium helping my son excel, but he truly enjoys it- it’s the best of both worlds!

This is just an exceptional place. My son refused to even go inside the center the very first time we took him there and stood outside for 20 minutes crying. Afterwards, on his own came in and took his assessment. The director of the center Salma Taher made him feel right at home. Now after his each class he comes out smiling and feeling good about himself. My son had always been too scared of maths and now he enjoys it. For him the teachers are fun and that's why Math has become fun for him! Thank You Mathnasium!!!!!

My daughter looks forward to it everyday. Mathnasium helped build the interest and confidence in Math, which is what I was looking for. The skill mastery will be easier with those 2 foundational elements. I am happy to say Mathnasium personalized curriculum, talented and caring teachers, rewarding culture, no home assignment culture and non-jugdemental environment makes a huge difference.

My daughter is in 3rd Grade and we have seen a huge difference in her attitude towards math and problem solving. Before Mathnasium she was scared of math and didn’t like to be challenged at all but now she enjoys math.As a parent it makes us happy that not only is she doing well in math but also have a positive attitude towards problem solving. Thank you Mathnasium of Palatine!

Salma is wonderful! So friendly and accommodating. She listened to my concerns and the problems my daughter was having learning math and set a plan for her to be able to catch up with her grade level.
My daughter used to hate math but now she is excited to go and seems to be enjoying and gaining confidence in math thanks to the amazing staff! I also love how they teach accordingly to each child’s ability to learn.

Mathnasium has given my 14 year old daughter more self confidence in her math abilities. Her math grade has improved at school. I am very happy with the facility. The tutors are all excellent, and Salma, the owner, is an amazing woman. She is really great about explaining the big picture and understands the real challenges the kids go through. She gives the necessary guidance to parents to help them fully understand the role Mathnasium plays in the development to improve their child's math skills. A definite thumbs up!

Our son was getting A’s in math yet scoring below average on standardized tests. The reason was that he memorized procedures for class assignments and tests yet wasn’t always understanding and retaining the concepts. Mathnasium has given him a customized plan to build a foundation to progress and succeed. He enjoys his instructors and is gaining confidence as he learns!

We LOVE Mathnasium!!! They make math so much fun. They don't just teach math, they show the strategies to solve the math problems to the kids. The instructors are very patient with kids. One of my kids got into the gifted program and another one got into the advance math. I can thank Mathnasium for it.

Mathnasium in Palatine is the BEST center. The director and instructors set high education standards for kids, motivate, help kids excel and experience math in a positive environment. I am very happy that my son attends this particular center in palatine. If you have a child who would like to learn MATH the right way, consider MATHNASIUM, PALATINE. Instructors are excellent in teaching the concepts patiently, understand how your child learns and help them with their goals. I highly RECOMMEND it. just a warning: kids can really get obsessed with MATH, but who complains about that... GOOD LUCK & ENJOY DOING MATH.

My daughter is very comfortable with the staff. They have a variety of ages, genders, and experience levels to help her at keep her at ease. I love that they are filling in any knowledge gaps going all the way back if needed. Totally critical to doing well in math for the future since it's such a foundational skill and area.
Salma has been outstanding in her knowledge and collaboration with us as parents. And positive, supportive, and the knowledge expert we needed for our daughter.

Teachers are very friendly and professional. They work well with kids and treat them with respect and dignity. They are flexible enough to adapt their instruction to kids' reaction to materials and change their work style based on kids' condition and mood of the day. It is hard to expect a highly-energetic 6 yo to sit still and work on math for an hour, but what happened was that my daughter did not want to leave after the session was over and still wanted to do more math. She came in scoring zero on the assessment, but now got A+ on math at school after only a semester's instruction and took pride in helping other kids with math in class. I give credit to mathnasium for stimulating her interest in math and helping her understand math.

My son who was not a big fan of math, due to falling behind, has grown more confident. The staff at Mathnasium, Palatine are caring individuals who really want each child to succeed and reach their fullest potential. My son loves going and working hard to meet his goals. His teachers recognize the improvement and that makes me and my son smile!

Hello. I'm Salma Taher, Owner/Center Director of Mathnasium of Palatine, your neighborhood math-only learning center. We help kids in grades 1-12 understand math by teaching the way that makes sense to them.
When math makes sense, kids leap way ahead – whether they started out far behind or already ahead in math. Our formula for teaching kids math, the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids learn math for over a decade across 800+ centers in the US and Canada:
Our specially trained math instructors will teach your child how to understand math in an individual setting – our unique approach enables us to effectively explain math concepts and lend a helping hand to every student. Our tutors foster a caring, encouraging environment that helps kids thrive and learn!
Mathnasium instructors use our unique assessment process to determine (with great accuracy) exactly what each child knows and what they need to learn. Next, we design a customized learning plan for teaching the concepts the student needs to master. It doesn’t stop there – our encouraging instructors continually check progress along the way to make sure kids truly understand and retain the concepts we’ve taught. The results are transformative – kids will see measurable changes in attitude, confidence, and school progress.
Our instructors will also set aside time to provide homework help. We help kids understand the homework assignment so they feel better prepared to complete the work at home – underscoring their understanding of concepts and transforming homework frustration into a welcome challenge.
