Mathnasium and National PTA’s $1,000 Math Grants!
Aug 6, 2019
We are happy to announce our continued partnership with the National PTA! For the third year in a row, Mathnasium has partnered with National PTA in its STEM + Families Initiative. At Mathnasium, we are dedicated to helping children learn and understand math in ways that can change their lives forever. Through the STEM + Families Initiative, schools are given the opportunity to apply for a $1,000 grant to partner with their local Mathnasium center to host a “Math Night.” Mathnasium learning centers and 35 winning schools will work together to empower students to explore math at their own level through fun games and activities at the Math Night. Our goal is to promote STEM experiences and programs for children to explore.
You can visit the National PTA website for more information and to submit an application for your school. The deadline to apply is September 8, 2019.
For more information on your local Mathnasium of Portland center, you can always call us at (207) 536-6888, email us at portland@mathnasium.com, or stop by our center! We look forward to working together to bring a Math Night to your school!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Totally recommend Mathnasium in South Portland!

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.

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!

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.
