My son no longer needs help with Math at school. He is caught up to grade level.

Mathnasium has increased my child's math confidence so much. He was giving up on math when we started. This takes your kid from where they are to where they should be at their own pace. They always have an instructor right there to help so the frustration level stays low.

Mathnasium has really helped our son gain confidence in math. His plan is individually focused on the areas he needs to work on. I value the progress reports that break down the areas he has mastered and the areas he is still working on. The sessions are well focused and convenient to schedule with either online or in person sessions. Mathnasium has always been very accommodating to last minute schedule changes or adding extra days. Very happy with this program!

Of all the subjects my daughter (14) likes least and has the most anxiety around its math. This has been the case for years. She has consistently been working twice a week via Zoom with Mathnaseum of Portland for the past four months with zero drama, no resistance, just plugging along. It's a win for her and for our relationship. The staff are a delight to work with and have been very responsive to our needs.

Both my children love going to Mathnasium in South Portland. Every time I pick them up they want to stay longer. So great to see them learning and excited, especially during a time when school looks very different for children.

Hello,
Yes, my daughter attends the local Mathnasium, and she is rather happy. Teachers are great, well prepared, patient with the students, creating a positive environment for them to keep up with their assignments.
We all understand that taking an extra mile in the challenging times we live is only beneficial for the students and the parents.
On behalf of all parents, we THANK YOU!

The center has changed the way my son looks at math. What use to be dreadful conversations of how to solve a problem, are easier now! He does math all the time and loves it. My son, a 6th grader, has been attending sessions for approximately 4 months. He had a solid foundation when school started and is one of the top students in his class, all because of the learning he received at Mathnasium.

I was so impressed with Nancy, the owner. She has tremendous knowledge of academic requirements, and the skills to evaluate the specific help that would most benefit my granddaughter. For the month she attended while visiting us for the summer, she made impressive gains across the board. I only wish she could stay in Portland to benefit from the wonderful tutors who work with Nancy and positive environment she provides for students.

Mathnasium was great for my grandson. We used it for homeschooling. At the end of his time with Mathnasium, he entered an international math contest answering all of the questions correctly. He enjoyed his time at Mathnasium. I was pleased with the results.

My daughter was struggling with math. When we tried to help her with homework, it usually involved a total meltdown on her part. After 4 months at Mathnasium her confidence has grown noticeably and, while she still dislikes doing math homework, it no longer involves meltdowns and frustration.

My Son Anthony was struggling with his math during his Freshman year.It was difficult as a Dad to see my son struggle and not be able to help him.He started attending Mathnasium and started seeing results immediately.His tutors did a strength and weakness assessment and figured out the areas that he needed help the most.Anthony used to dread test days at school,He now walks into school on test days with a can do attitude.
Mathnasium has made a significant difference on Anthonys Algebra and Geometry.

Amazing!! Teachers, the environment, the joy it brings Sally.
My one request would be NO candy for prizes. With the state of our country and Maine in general. For dental health and obesity, I have a big problem with candy as a reward.

My daughter Ali loves your center and says that everyone is wonderful and amazing 😊
Thank you for all you do!

I will also discuss this with the director but the prize cabinet is an important motivator, my daughter really loves it. My kids can’t have food dyes because it causes hyperactivity for them (and many other children). There are tons of “clean” candies and treats available if you shop around. Kids should be able to enjoy treats that don’t cause negative behavior consequences. Please consider switching to dye-free treats.

We have used web based learning in the past, but my children prefer face to face interaction with instructors, who are fun and versatile at Mathnasium in Portland, we continue enjoying attending this center.

Our daughter was very timid to go and was not open to even trying it out. They made her feel comfortable and she is slowly getting her confidence back. She asked to go and her scores are showing improvement already!

If you had told me a year ago my sixth grader would enjoy going to math tutoring twice a week, I'd have laughed. But somehow Mathnasium nails the mix of effective, efficient instruction; confidence-building; and fun. It's been an absolutely transformational experience for her. Mathnasium ROCKS. Cannot say enough good things.

My daughter lives Mathnasium and has demonstrated significant improvement in math in a relatively short period of time. The folks there really know how to connect with kids and make learning fun. I am impressed by the compassion, flexibility and sincere engagement with the kids.

My son Anthony was in his freshman year of high school.He was really struggling with his math assignments, quizzes,and tests.As a father wanting to help my son I decided to try Mathnasium.They identified Anthonys strengths and weaknesses and devised a plan.Anthony started attending twice weekly sessions at Mathnasium and his skill level immediately improved.He achieved a passing grade in his then math class, bringing grade from 24 avg. to an 79.5 in a couple of short months.
This year he was placed in Algebra 2 honors class and has his average up to 97.When Anthony was struggling I was frustrated because I couldn't help figure out what to do to help and then I called Lauren Bean at Mathnasium and Anthony no longer dreads going to Math classes at his school.He is flourishing and we owe his new found skill and confidence to Mathnasium.

Mathnasium is great. We've tried tutors before, but the program at Mathnasium is much more interactive. The student is actively doing problems and thinking the entire session. We're very pleased.

Hello - My daughter has shown great improvement since starting with Mathnasium. The only thing I would change is the available hours. The South Portland branch doesn't open until 3 and is closed on friday - Some morning hour availability on the weekends would be excellent. Also, due to distance we have difficulty making it to So Portland twice a week - Some on-line, one-on-one face time sessions would be very helpful!

This has been a good experience for my son. Although it has only been month. I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the year turns out.

Our boys had a positive summer experience at Mathnasium. They looked forward to seeing the friendly, helpful instructors, playing math games, and cashing in their points for coveted treats! More importantly, my husband and I appreciated that they gained valuable skills and confidence in math. Thank you, Mathnasium of Portland!

My daughter was very reluctant to start math tutoring , after all math wasn’t her favorite and she had a lot of math anxiety . I didn’t have high hopes for her to stick with it but she ended up really enjoying her time at Mathnasium. The staff were engaging and made things fun, soon she was joking with them , and looking forward to her sessions . With their help her confidence started to increase and she was excelling at school . Earning stamps and prizes didn’t hurt either , love positive reinforcements!

Great location, friendly staff, Lauren is great communicating changes, schedule, etc. We are greatful to be able to occasionally modify the schedule due to other activities, weather, etc. I have 2 children enrolled, tehy realy like Caleb, if he decides to ever leave Mathnesium we would miss him a lot. Right person is the key. I think the strongest positive driving factor for my children at this time is Caleb, they are looking forward to each session.

Hello. I'm Nancy Thomas, Owner/Center Director of Mathnasium of Portland, your neighborhood math-only learning center. We help kids in grades 2 - 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.
