My daughter struggled in math for years. She got to the point where her confidence was so low that she would say “I just suck at Math”.
After a few months at Mathnasium she started getting A’s in math at school. She said that Mathnasium makes learning math fun and it’s not so confusing like how it is taught in school.
Thanks for helping her to master math concepts while making it fun to learn math!

We started with Mathnasium the summer before 2nd grade and we are now in 3rd grade. Not only has our daughter caught up but she now has much more confidence when it comes to the subject!

My oldest daughter had very low confidence in math going into 4th grade. She was very anxious about taking math tests and understanding new concepts. In addition, I don't think her 4th grade teacher was very skilled at teaching math. (San Carlos school district) My daughter was getting average, meets standard type of evaluations which isn't very good when it's basically only getting 50% of the answers correct and there were many math topics of her level that were apparently not even covered by her teacher. At Mathnasium, she reviewed the entire 4th grade math curriculum over again (while in 5th grade at school). She had a much better math teacher at school for 5th grade (same San Carlos school district), and combined with reviewing the 4th grade material again at Mathnasium, she greatly improved in her confidence and her grades. Now she is in 6th grade and reviewing some 5th grade material. Her 6th grade math teacher at school has been excellent so that is also helping a lot. My daughter told me recently math is one of her favorite classes now (wow!) and she doesn't seem nearly as anxious about the tests and doing her homework as she used to. She got placed into an advanced math class for 6th grade because she did well in her 5th grade class and I was nervous about her being in this advanced level given her prior lack of confidence - however, she's doing really well so far and getting very good math grades on her tests. I think reviewing the 4th grade curriculum in detail was really important as it gave her a much better foundation with which to learn as she is getting older. So from a review stand point, I think Mathnasium has been extremely helpful.
My younger daughter started at Mathnasium earlier, when she was in 2nd grade - she seems to have an easier time with math than my older daughter had at her age and is now way ahead of what she is learning in 3rd grade, so math in school is very easy for her and she got 100% on her 3rd grade math evaluation test at the beginning of the school year. I think going to Mathnasium has given her even more confidence in her math skills so I'm glad I got her started early on getting some extra math review. So I would highly recommend going to Mathnasium and the drop-in schedule is helpful as my kids have various other activities they do and it's hard to find the time to get the kids over there. Luckily we have a bunch of friends whose kids go so we can carpool some of the time.
One thing I think Mathnasium could improve upon is monitoring the kids better during their session when they are having trouble understanding a particular topic. There have been several times when one of my kids spent the entire class doing just one page of problems because they didn't understand the topic or because they found it very boring or just really hard to do. They tend to be pretty shy about asking for help when they need it. When my kids let me know this has happened (because I always ask them what they did that day in their session), I tell someone there that my child needs more help with that topic but by that time, the session has been more or less wasted so I would like it if Mathnasium realized what was going on at the time rather than needing me to alert them about it. Lastly, it would be better for us if the summer hours included part of the weekend because our kids typically go to camp most of the day during the week and it's hard for me to get them there during the week. Sundays are a much better day for us to bring them there. Lastly, I wish there were more shady places to sit because I'm often trying to get work done while the kids are there - they have told me I should go down to the Starbucks but I typically don't want to drink coffee or buy anything over there late in the afternoon so I don't like going to the starbucks. In addition, the wi-fi strength is quite poor so I often have to use the hot spot on my phone. It's nice they even have wi-fi there but it would be great if they got an improved service as I am a working parent and would like to make the most of time sitting there getting work done while the kids are in their session.

Hi Laura - Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! Both of your daughters have made such great progress on their unique math journeys, and they are both such a pleasure and joy to work with. We are very proud of their increase in confidence and math skills! We look forward to supporting them both through the school year and beyond! I'm sorry to hear about a whole session spent on a difficult topic! We always strive to ensure each student gets the most out of each session, and to make sure we are helping a student even when they don't necessarily ask for help. We're currently increasing our staff, and we will also cover this in more depth at our next staff training. Thank you for continuing to encourage your children to speak up as well!
In regards to our parent waiting area - as we expand the center to make room for more students, we have had to rearrange the parent waiting area, but we are still glad to have one to offer parents! We hope to keep our parent waiting area and game area available for all families. We've tried numerous solutions (custom tint, custom blinds) for the sun, and we're soon looking to further install awnings. I'm sorry to hear about our wifi strength - feel free to come see us and we'll give you our main network password while we look into the strength of the guest password. Lastly, thanks for the feedback on our summer hours. We will poll the families again to see what hours are preferred, but we anticipate staying open 6 days per week next summer :)October 3, 2018

My daughter Lizette Contreras enjoyed mathnasium so much! the time she went she really enjoyed the way they made learning math interesting and a lot of fun, due to a change in my job we had to stop going. As soon as my work schedule changes she will definitely be going back to mathnasium! Thank you for this amazing program!

Mathnasium was such a great help to my son who struggled with Algebra I in his freshman year. He did summer sessions with Mathnasium and his instructor was very patient and very helpful. My son is now repeating Algebra I in his sophomore year, understands the math and is breezing through the class. We don't believe this would have been possible without Mathnasium. We are so happy to have found this resource so close to home. Would highly recommend!

My daughter got her first Quarter report card and Math was her highest grade. I also received her results from her school's statewide testing and she was ahead of her grade level by 1/2 grade. This is a child who was previously tested below average in Math. I attribute much of this success to her attendance at Mathnasium.

We are happy at this center. The children like it and have improved. We like the friendly staff, location and seeing our children love math! Thanks and keep up the good work!
Only constructive feedback is that the summer hours were too limited. Summer is a time when we like to make extra progress. Such limited hours made it very challenging to really access the sessions we paid for because of the logistics of going from one place to another and the increasingly challenging local commutes and drive times given traffic.

The folks at Mathnasium helped my daughter develop a sense of confidence with math. Doubting her own ability to work through math problems was her greatest obstacle. Over time, and with the assistance of the tutors there, she learned that she had the tools she needed to figure it all out for herself.

When I sent my child to Mathnasium she wasn't really exited because I forced her because she didn't really understand math. After a week of going she felt more confterable and wanted to go everyday .The way that they taught math helped her with her grades in school and on test. Now she is an eight grader in high advanced math learning algebra 1 and 2.

Mathnasium has been an awesome place for my son to learn and reinforce math concepts. Their assessment techniques make me confident that any learning gaps or holes my son has in the standards will be addressed and taught. All of the teachers are super friendly and supportive and are absolutely responsible for the fact that my 5th grade son does not ever complain about going...and we try to go three times a week with a very busy schedule! We cannot say enough about this wonderful program, Beatrice (the owner and director) and the rest of the teachers there!

Mathnasium is a great place to go and learn math. My granddaughter has trouble with math, and by coming to Mathnasium she has really excelled in math. She learns different kinds of shortcuts to get the answers. She doesn't use her fingers any more.
Come try it out, instructions are wonderful with the students. They make math FUN.

My son really enjoyed all of the tutors he worked with. He said they all had different styles but they all worked well with him. He appreciated that they helped him but also gave him a chance to work through problems on his own and figure things out. He gained a lot more confidence in math. Sarah was AWESOME in helping us get set up and get my son's sessions scheduled.

This week I had a little time to talk with my daughter. I asked her if she thought Mathnasium has helped her. Her face lit up and she replied definitely, I feel more confident and I feel good when I know what I am doing. I strongly recommend Mathnasium. Last week we had her teachers conference at school and my daughter made honor roll. School is not easy for her, she works hard to get good grades and when she needs help I am happy to say that she has Mathnasium to help her figure out the correct answers.

What I really like about Mathnasium is the fact that they help my granddaughter with her homework. That is a great stress reliever for me. Also the fact that I can drop her off at any time during their hours of operation and not have a set time has been a life saver and a convenience for me. The people at Mathnasium have been very helpful and so knowledgeable that I am very pleased with my granddaughters progress and the fact that she never complaines as to why she has to go. I would highly recommend Mathnasium as an excellent resource.

We have been with Mathnasium since the beginning of the school year and I think my kids have gone from being intuitive math learners to confident math thinkers in this short period of time. I am happy with their progress so far and look forward to seeing how much further they will go as the year continues. The environment is very supportive and I have already referred friends to the center.
A minor point of feedback - often times we budget just an hour between homework and practices, etc to stop by the center. The kids are able to complete the assignment well within that time, but need to stay longer to work with the tutor on corrections. This may be an issue of tutor availability, although, occasionally the kids mention that some of the tutors are new and not aware of the process. Also, I appreciate the business model, but do wish the center was open longer with additional weekend hours.
