Math tutoring is great!! Center director and teachers are very welcoming and take care of the students very well. The scheduling system is not that great though. I would like to receive the Zoom meeting links in multiple emails, but that's not possible today.

My daughter has been going to Mathnasium for almost 2 years now and I couldn’t be happier! Before she started at this center her grades were C’s & D’s. Now she is constantly getting A’s & B’s. She has gained so much confidence & I love that math is no longer a struggle for her.
I can’t say enough great things about the instructors and the owner Salma! They have always gone above and beyond my expectations!
Also, I feel extremely comfortable sending her to the center during Covid because I know the center is clean and they follow all protocols.
She loves to go & i’m happy she will not be falling behind in her math.
I highly recommend this center!

I put my daughter in Mathnesium during summer time mainly because of not having real in person classes at school. She enjoyed it.I just wish the tutors were more aggressive with material&pushed my child more.I would recommend Mathnesium in Palatine for other parents to put their kids in.

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!!!!!

We have had a great experience at Mathnasium. Salma is very responsive and helpful. We started with our 13 year old for pre-algebra help and have kept her enrolled for Algebra. Her knowledge and confidence have grown and her grades have gone up. This is a kid who doesn't like homework but loves going to Mathnasium.
We are so happy with Mathnasium that we are now sending our son Charlie for Algebra2/Trig homework help. He is in a college prep school and is gifted in math but we love the teaching techniques used at Mathnasium. Having him work with an expert in his area of math builds his confidence and ensuring he is getting high marks.
Salma's staff is well trained and they do an amazing job! Never had a bad experience.
Highly recommended.

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.

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!

Why Elena's Parents are Smart to Enroll Her Early in Mathnasium

Elena used to be mad at math, but now she likes it a whole lot better. She describe...
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 1,000+ 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.
