we started a couple years ago and my daughter had increased her grade from an F to an A in a matter of a month and a half. Now we are falling behind again as she is getting into more difficult math and i see a change for the better just after a few weeks. i am totally sold on mathnasium and the staff, they are caring and personable.

We are a month in and I'm pleased that my son is still motivated. Often with challenging academics he loses interest and wants to quit. Melissa has been wonderful. I really like her casual style because I never felt like it was "salesy" and only that she really wants to make this work for my son. The staff member who works with him on multiple days, whose name I am forgetting at the moment (she is older with blond hair)... she is very sweet and patient with him and he likes working with her a lot. The only thing I would change would be to open at 2PM and to potentially allow bookings on the half hours (ie 3:30-4:30). Maybe as you grow this might be doable schedule-wise.

Mathnasium has helped my son become more confident in math. It is worth every penny we spend. It’s an investment into his future. He asked me what a mathematician does and he’s in the third grade. I told him if he likes math he could get a PHD and teach math one day. Mathnasium has done that. It is turning a struggler into a lover of math over time.

The center manager Melissa is awesome. She is always helpful and in a great mood. From the moment you walk into the center she starts your child’s session out right. The instructors are top notch. Engaging and patient, but they also push your child to try concepts that are challenging for them. I highly recommend mathnasium for every kid, whether they struggle with math or just want to push themselves to do more challenging math.

Melissa is always so helpful and personal. I have felt comfortable talking with her from the first moment we walked into mathnasium. She seems to remember every student and parents names.
My son has enjoyed all of the math turtors. They have helped him strive forward. Our family is very happy with the results from the Point Loma mathnasium.

When school ended for my daughter abruptly due to the pandemic I was told my daughter is almost a year behind in her math. this came as a huge surprise and all I knew is I needed to get her caught up the best way I could. I looked into tons of tutor agencies as well as online agencies and I chose mathnasium. I was very skeptical at first because they do a lot of online virtual learning. But their virtual learning platform allows My daughter to work directly for the entire time with a teacher. My daughter also was very afraid and had a lot of anxiety about performance. After doing a simple assessment online. They easter into mathnasium learning. My daughter who was one that would like to use avoidance is now been able to work with them for over 4 months daily per whatever I request as the time. They also have been very open to me having to change the time due to us going out of town. We still have a lot of catching up to do. but I know that magnesium is giving her a solid foundation and she is learning and she is feeling good about herself for the first time regarding her math.

Great and wonderful experience. My son was motivated to go to his virtual class. He was very comfortable with his teachers. He said that the learning style and method helped him. He felt that he learned a lot. I’m impressed by this program. My son has struggled with math since the beginning. He dreaded math class. When he started Mathnasium, he independently logged in and was excited to learn. He never complained and looked forward to learning. I really wish that I signed him up earlier. It is really work it. Thank you so much.

Very welcoming location, caring at every level and staffed with tutors who can connect with children across all age groups. There was never a feeling of burden, I could always ask a question via email or in person and got a prompt response from Melissa and her staff. On line tutoring was quickly implemented and allowed for continued learning experience even if it took a while to adjust to new technology. Bottom line, this team cares and it shows, so THANK YOU!

I was just talking about Mathnasium to a friend! My daughter is starting to believe in herself and feel stronger about her math aptitude. She looks forward to her classes and I'm sleeping better at night knowing that she's going to catch up with her class. I don't think there was any other type of math program out there that could have gotten my daughter caught up as thoroughly as Mathnasium!

Mathnasium of Point Loma has been a wonderful supplement for learning for both our daughters, ages 9 and 12. They have been so thorough with communication, outreach, and have taken extra steps to encourage learning during these quarantine times. There is effort to personally connect with each family and make each child feel special. With changing online school schedules, they’ve also been extremely flexible when we’ve needed to make adjustments. We’ve felt very fortunate to have mathnasium to help us get through these home school times.

We love the staff at PL Mathnasium! My daughter went from, "UGH, math?" to "YAH, math!!" after starting with the center. She enjoys math in school, at home and at the center. We are so grateful for the fun and educational guidance that is geared toward her needs. She loves earning points and treats and hanging with the big kids (trainers :-)). Thank you all!!

My daughter really enjoyed it. The staff was nice and knowledgeable. My daughter said that the staff was patient and explained concepts well. It was nice to have unlimited drop-ins and staff always available. Wish it was open more hours or more days a week. Parking can be tough. Would be nice to get progress reports for the parents.

Mathnasium-Point Loma was an amazing experience for our daughter! Her confidence level in math really improved throughout her fifth grade year. She came in thinking she "wasn't as good as her brother in Math" and now boasts that Math is her best subject. She developed an advanced thought process and strategy to working through problems. Her test scores visibly improved, but even more important was her confidence in herself and her ability to work through the problems.

My daughter's math skills are improving. My only two wishes are: 1) Tutors do better to prevent the distractions by the kids who don't want to stay focused. Not an easy job, but may need to remind them to focus on their work, or tell the parents if they become too distracting. The kids aren't robots and need breaks, but sometimes I see kids who are distracting the other kids too much. 2) Encourage the kids to let the tutors know which types of math problems they struggle with on tests so they can focus on those, bearing in mind that it's the kids' responsibility to tell the tutor.

My children ask to go whenever they can! They now love math and are receiving much higher test scores directly related to mathnasium.
I’m very grateful to the individualized attention each instructor gives my boys.
This also frees time for us as a family to focus on our relationship getting stronger vs me yelling at them to do their homework. All around good!

Now your child can have the same Mathnasium™ experience anywhere with Mathnasium@Home!...
Hello. I'm Melissa McAnally, Center Director of Mathnasium of Point Loma, your neighborhood math-only learning center. We help kids in grades Pre-K to 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.
