Scheduling is easy and cancellations are easy to do as well when necessary. My daughter is definitely getting a better grasp on the material. Now if I could only get her to hand in her assignments!

I love the flexibility of zoom room or in person. I also think the approach of finding where your knowledge "holes" are is ideal. Also very easy to communicate with.

In the short time our daughter has attended -- and we try to do 4 days a week so she can work on daily homework assignments -- we have definitely seen improvements. Quite simply, a parent's attempt to help -- no matter how well intentioned -- is no substitute for a much more knowledgeable math tutor! Worth every penny to see her gain comprehension of the material. Thank you.

My daughter enjoyed her time working with the tutors at Mathnasium! The tutors helped her to understand the math concepts giving her trouble, help her to review and just be there to point her in the right direction on her daily homework. Her math grades improved and she was able to get an A in math on her report cart card all the semesters she was working with them! I loved how during the summer, or when her school math was completed and understood, They provided additional work for her to practice and complete, to improve her overall math skills and make sure there were no gaps in her math knowledge. We will happily use Mathnasium again in the future.

The crew at Mathnasium have been helpful in re-enforcing the math lessons our son receives from High School. The online option has worked well for us as we are located in Nokomis (not convenient to drive to Sarasota). Jim has been very professional and helpful to work with.

Mathnasium has been a lifesaver for my daughter struggling in math for so long. She went from a D to an A/B in her assignments and tests. She is confident with her math skills now and is very happy and really enjoys math. She looks forward to going to Mathnasium and getting help for her math assignments and preparing for her tests.
The tutors are just great there and have so much patience. They help and teach my daughter in a way where she can understand. She has learned so much in math since starting in November. In four months, she has come so far and my husband and I are so happy and proud that she is doing so well! I highly recommend Mathnasium for anyone struggling in Math! You will see the difference!

I like mathnasium for my children. Your online interaction can be a bit more interactive. Currenlty, my kids have to ask for help rather someone should check upon to ensure if they will need any help.

Mathnasium has been a wonderful expediency for both of my children. It taught them how to think about numbers and relationships if values rather than just memorizing the steps. I highly recommend Mathnasium for everyone, whether they struggle with math or not. It helps my kids gain an edge to be better prepared for middle and highschool.

My daughter has improved her Math scores at school dramatically. She now understands and is more confident with Math since starting at Mathnasium a few moths ago. Currently she is getting ready to take her SAT test. She knows she'll do well in math. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the positive help and results from the Sarasota Mathnasium staff!

Dirk is the BEST! My daughter is in 8th grade Algebra and she has learned more from him than she has at school. My only hesitation is the cost. It is very expensive and we are having a hard time affording this program.

I love that our kids are excited to go! They feel confident and independent when they are there and have fun. They get so excited about punching their cards for completed work, a great incentive. Itβs a relaxed, casual environment that my kids enjoy but at the same time the teachers take what they do very seriously while still being fun and encouraging. They are able to teach them things in ways that blows my mind and it just sticks! Iβve seen both my children grow leaps and bounds in math just from the very short time weβve been going.

In her time at Mathnasium, my daughter has developed her confidence, work ethic, and enthusiasm for math significantly. I've been impressed both by the tutors and by how the organizational structure enables the program to cater to individual learners. My daughter is a more social learner than the typical classroom encourages, so she enjoys interacting with the teachers as well as with the other students, and she views Mathnasium not as "extra help," but as an enjoyable extracurricular activity.

Hard to know yet whether the practice applies to my son's year of algebra as he's only a little over 1 month into the school year but Dirk and his team were clearly very diligent with my son and consistently squeezed the maximum amount of teaching/learning into his sessions. Great math instruction.

The staff at mathnasium are not only highly educated, but are also very kind and caring. They have helped my daughter understand math so much more than I could have possibly imagined. Her grades have improved dramatically and has a much better understanding of math now. She also enjoys going there to learn more about math, which was a shock considering how much she didn't care for math in the beginning. Trust me when I say this, you will NOT be disappointed with sending your children there, they will have such an outstanding experience. It was by far one of the best choices ever made for my daughter. Thank you Dirk and everyone else there for your time and compassion.

I came to you because my daughter, Age 10, was struggling with math historically; and entering fifth grade I was worried she would be lagging behind quickly due to past challenges and less attention in class by previous teacher. I can tell you she actually enjoys going. Early in the school year she got to the point that she actually requested I take her !!. We still go periodically to keep her up to speed and when shes faltering though not as often as the past. But I can say, Mathnasium helped build her confidence and made her comfortable with math. I can't say enough about how great your Sarasota Manager is, and the personnel he has surrounded himself with. If someone had told me my daughter would have this kind of results, I would not have believed it possible.

In "New Approaches to Teaching Fractions," Mathnasium's Chief Instructional Officer...
Hello. I'm Jim Markgraf, Owner of Mathnasium of Sarasota, your neighborhood math-only learning center. We help kids in grades 1-12 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.
