My son stated before I brought him here that he wanted to go in space engineering or something with astronomy. I explained to him that he needed to know math. That’s when he said I guess I’m not doing that. Since bringing him here his dreams have come alive again. He feels confident that he can learn math and he is happier.

Rich and Chris are absolutely amazing. They really care deeply about every student and their success. Learning can be fun. My daughter is motivated, inspired, and open to reach her goal. I highly recommend anyone who has a loved one struggling in math, any age or grade to come check out Mathnasium. One month ago Allie received one correct answer on a 13 question test. After going to Mathnasium 3 times a week for almost four weeks she received a 100 on her test a few days ago. She is thriving and I look forward to see where she will be in a few months.

We have seen such immense improvement in our son's confidence in doing math as well as his ability to problem solve with the tools he has been given by Mathnasium. His grades have improved and he is a totally different child doing math than before he started at Mathnasium. We are very grateful for Mr. Rich and his wife and all of the instructors that work with John. They explain everything in a way he can understand and will continue going over things he is still unsure of or is having a problem with until he feels comfortable in his abiities.

My son is coming home from school and saying that he is ahead of all his class. He said it’s all because of mathnasium. Rich is amazing. He cares so much about how the children are doing. Makes sure my son gets out safe and that he is a good match with All the teachers. He gives the children different ways of solving math problems.

Rich and the staff have provide not only great professional math tutoring. They have provided something that has been invaluable, social interaction. As the Connetquot Schools and the Teachers Union refuse to provide these video interactions for our children. Rich and his staff have put children first. I can't praise his handling of this situation enough. He truly cares about kids and all aspects of their learning! If your child needs help in math. Reach out to Rich!! They are incredible!
I would pay double for this type of caring and service!!

Mathnasium works on every level-it allows the student to learn at their own pace, to work independently but with supervision and guidance when needed, and to experience the fun side of learning math. I applaud everyone at Mathnasium, from Rich to every instructor, for their dedication to insuring each student gets the necessary tools he or she needs to succeed at math.

We are having a great experience with Mathnasium of Sayville. Rich and his staff are very patient and accommodating with my daughter and she loves going. It's only been a couple of months, but I can see her foundations getting stronger and more confidence in her. Very happy so far. Money well spent.

Our son has been going to Mathnasium for about four months now, and the change in him since he started is truly amazing. We are beyond grateful for Rich and all of his staff at Sayville Mathnasium. One of the biggest changes we notice is how John feels about math compared to how he felt before. There are no more tears during homework, no more frustration trying to figure things out. They have given him the tools to work through problems and he has gained so much more confidence in himself since going to Mathnasium. He goes three times a week and it's something he actually looks forward to doing, which I think speaks volumes. His math average has gone from a 52 to an 88 and just keeps getting better and better. We are beyond proud of his accomplishments and it's all because of the hard work he puts in with the Sayville Mathnasium team and the approach they use to work with these kids. One of the best decisions we've made and we are so happy we did!

My granddaughter went from a struggling, barely-passing student in math to one who just got an "A" on her report card! Mathnasium has given her confidence to tackle math problems without the fear and confusion she previously experienced. The instructors at Mathnasium are very patient and have a true desire to teach the student how to successfully execute the math they are working on at the time. Rich understands what is needed to get a student to perform at or above the level they are currently working on, and he ensures that everything is done consistently to achieve that goal.

Our daughter started MATHNASIUM I’ve this past summer, after a tortuous year of math, where she struggled, lost all confidence, and barely passed. This year, after her experience at MATHNASIUM, there’s been a complete, total turn around. She’s flying through her math skills, and has been maintaining a mid-90’s average and is actually ENJOYING her math class and learning!!! We can’t believe her progress. It’s really unbelievable. So grateful to have found MATHNASIUM... just can’t recommend it enough!!!

We would like to thank the management and staff of Mathnasium for accommodating our Son's study needs by developing a College level Calculus II study plan for him. We were referred to Mathnasium by some parents of High School students who had success with the service provided. When we initially met with the Rich, he advised us that they were primarily geared towards working middle and high school students, but not College students. Without hesitation he offered to develop a personalized study plan for him, which has made a tremendous improvement in his level of understanding and confidence with his school work.
Many thanks to Rich and Shannon of Mathnasium!

My daughter attended Mathnasium for 6 months and there has been such a transformation. She started out very behind in math with failing grades, no confidence and didn't understand basic concepts. All I can say is now in middle school her math teacher recently said to her " I thought your mom said you struggled in math." Her confidence has improved so much! She's no longer nervous or demanding I sit and do her math with her. Mathnasium is a wonderful organization and helped us so much! We are forever grateful! The staff was amazing, welcoming and really made math fun to where my daughter would ask to go!

My granddaughter has been going several times a week for about 4 months and I definitely see an improvement in learning how to understand and solve a problem. She enjoys going and it's nice to know having math homework is no longer an issue because they work with her to understand and do it correctly which has built her confidence. All the staff and Rich are all great!

If your child is struggling with math or just wants to improve their grade; Mathnasium offers a pleasing, supportive environment. Rich is super to work with and listens to your concerns. The staff is encouraging and provides great feedback. My son significantly improved his Math SAT score and my daughter has consistently raised her grade in math each quarter.

This summer my son JJ attended 10 math sessions at Mathnasium of Sayville. When JJ began his sessions he had a very negative attitude towards his ability to learn math. During the 10 sessions at Mathnasium I started to see this attitude change for the positive. On JJ’s first day of seventh grade as he came home from school his first response to me was that he thought this year he would do better in math because he already knew about the first topic on integers from Mathnasium. Now JJ has the confidence to do what he needs to do. His first test grades were 82 and 85 thanks to Mathnasium!

Staff is amazing!! My daughter started at MATHNASIUM with a fear of math and absolutely zero confidence. After only a few sessions, she is LOVING MATH and her confidence is back!! She couldn’t wait to start school and get to her math class!! Something she dreaded, is now her favorite subject!! I can’t believe it!! Worth every single penny and then some!!!

We came in on the "fly" did not have much time for my son to get up to speed for a College placement test, but the staff was great. Super accommodating and helpful, it was exactly what my son needed.
Aced the placement test and got into the program of choice for his upcoming Freshman year. Tutors were super helpful and very responsive to his needs.
Totally awesome team at this location.

Mathnasium has been a wonderful experience for my 2 children. They are very different from each other and learn in different ways. Rich always takes the time to meet with me and get feedback from his instructors to make sure that we set up the best program to meet each of their needs. They both continue to grow and gain confidence along the way.

My daughter is enjoying her time spent at Mathnasium, and it is often that two hours go by and she still wants to stay a little longer. She enjoys the format of the binder and the mastery checks, along with the ability to work on her homework if necessary. She is more likely not to make a silly error as she aspires to get a perfect score on her mastery checks. She was comfortable with math when entering Mathnasiun, but is now acquiring a self-confidence beyond what she previously possessed. The tutors are always available for assistance, and they are also very kind and patient. She actually has fun while there and looks forward to going often. The owners are kind and professional, and it is apparent that they really care about my child’s progress. This is my daughter’s first year there, and she plans to continue.

A very positive learning experience. My granddaughter struggles in math but looks forward to going to Mathnasium to get the help she needs. Every person there, from Rich to all the great instructors, are super friendly, extremely professional and know how to relate to young children and how to help them understand math. They are very patient, going over and over problems until they are understood. They are not just there to do a job, they all seem to have a geniune desire to make sure their student for that day comes away understanding the concept because they want them to succeed at math. I would recommend Mathnasium to anyone needing help in math.

Elena used to be mad at math, but now she likes it a whole lot better. She describe...
Hello. We are Rich Alfano and Chris Carrion-Alfano, Co-Owners of Mathnasium of Sayville, 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.
