Welcome to Mathnasium of Santa Monica
About Our Center
How COVID19 Has Impacted Our Program
First and foremost, we are still open! We never closed, actually.
After state mandated closures in March, we transitioned all instruction online (maybe you've heard about our Mathnasium@home live one-on-one instruction).
On June 15th, after careful preparation and implementation of a new safety protocol (masks, limiting the # of students at a given time, instructing from a safe distance, routinely disinfecting, and more), we reopened for in-center instruction. We decided to keep Mathnasium@home available for those who wished to continue from home.
Just like you, we're doing our best to navigate through the challenges brought on by COVID19. As long as kids need math support, we'll find a way to deliver!
Mathnasium of Santa Monica has been helping hundreds of students in the community with math tutoring and homework help since 2010! We serve the communities of Santa Monica, Malibu, West Los Angeles, Bel-Air, Pacific Palisades, and Westwood.
Our expert math staff is passionate about helping kids of all math skill levels improve and excel in math year-round. Mathnasium of Santa Monica is a member of the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce.
Also available in your area, real-time face-to-face instruction over an internet connection.

I often refer Mathnasium to people.
I would encourage the studio to go back to some pre-Covid arrangements. I liked the flexibility of dropping off at unassigned days and times. I can’t predict when my kids will need homework help which is why I chose Mathnasium over a traditional tutoring arrangement. I would also encourage them to Remain open on weekends during summer, or at least apart day one day on the weekend.

My children likes it a lot. The staff is nice and very understanding of the students individual necessities.
The students keep improving so well on the understanding of math and therefore obtaining excellent grades at school. My 12 years old now even likes math and feel confident about it.
is a great environment for children all ages. Immaculate with Covid 19 prevention measures, dynamic and feedback.

What I loved about my experience at Mathnasium, particularly during this pandemic, was the extraordinary attentiveness of Wes, the site manager at the Santa Monica location, who thoughtfully paired my son with a tutor who fit his very specific needs. Wes was incredibly responsive and collaborative in helping us to find the right zoom appointment slots and also to facilitate meeting with my son’s teachers to better understand how to support him. I experienced excellent customer service and great value. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

MATHNASIUM has been wonderful experience for my two teens students.
They have learned the real deal in math that didn't understand or manage well before,
therefore their grades have improved tremendously. Both services offered on line & in person (Santa Monica Office) has been incredible pleasant and effective. Instructors are great, good and clean ambient, excellent with Covid-19 preventive measures too.
WES, the manager is a pleasure to talk to about any assistance or matter you family need relate to the math sessions. He is always on top of everything.
Thanks Wes and Team Mathnasium :D. !!

We are on our second child attending your program and after other failed attempts with other tutoring programs, they were all lacking everything that Mathnasium offers! What brought us back was the ease of center time with the flexibility of 6 days a week! With everyone’s crazy schedules these generous center hours work for us! Also, with the individual instruction and attention, This group tutoring style is preferred over private tutor anyway by our child. Also, your wonderful staff and outstanding center Director! Our child feels very supported! Thank you.

Mathnasium has provided immeasurable support in assisting our children to better understand math concepts and achieve greater success in school. It also provides me with the peace of mind of knowing that our children have this resource available to them so that they may overcome certain academic challenges they face in school, which I clearly can no longer assist them with.

Our daughter has had a good experience with Mathnasium, so far. Motivating her to go has been challenging, but once she has completed a session, she feels a sense of accomplishment. I think her confidence in her math skills has improved, though we probably need to ramp up her attendance in order to get more results.
It would be great if there were more female instructors...for so many different reasons. No knocks against the male instructors, but I think girls are inspired by young women and it also sends the message that girls/women ARE good at math. Lastly, just a suggestion, but maybe mixing up the prizes a bit more would inspire more enthusiasm/excitement from the kids. I know you try to keep them fairly gender neutral, but going outside those boundaries might be motivating.

Our child (age 14) is finding this a very worthwhile experience. We appreciate that Mathnasium uses pencil and paper rather than typed communications; this method of teaching seems to stick better in the child's brain for some reason. The Santa Monica Mathnasium is well managed and concerns about billing, timing, and other issues have been promptly and carefully addressed. The emphasis on deep understanding of the mathematical process will be very helpful to child, and is enjoyable for him.

Hannah loves going to Mathnesium! For someone who really didn’t like math she sure likes it now!
We only signed up for one month last summer and Hannah really didn’t want to go, however when the month was up she actually pleaded to continue going!
Thank you Kelly and staff for teaching my child that math CAN be enjoyable!

My son has had a great experience at Mathnasium so far. I did not think him capable of 1. wanting to go, 2. being able to sit and focus and, 3. learning so much so fast. He's a very active kid but in that environment, he is consistently inspired in a positive way. I really like the flexibility of dropping in during open hours, it makes it realistic for our schedules which seem constantly in motion (much like our children).Thank you!

We are monitoring the progress of the 4th grade student we have entered at Mathanasium. He has made progress but we will not know definitely until the end of the semester.
The staff are friendly but it can be difficult for them to monitor all of the students because it gets very busy in the after school hours.

Mathnasium is a very well organized, well run operation and my daughter has had nothing but a positive experience there! Kelly and all the tutors are amazing! They are kind, patient and smart, and they have helped my daughter to elevate her math skills in a very short period of time. We would definitely recommend Mathnasium to anyone who wants (or needs) a little extra push in math!

Hello. I'm Brandon Lee, Center Director of Mathnasium of Santa Monica, your neighborhood math-only learning center. We help kids in grades K-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.
