I got a call today from Nick. He said that he read our review and that more math teachers were hired. I said that was great and my wife had already noticed. He seemed a little nervous when I talked to him and when the call ended I called my wife. I told her I talked to Nick and said what happened. She paused and told me in the review I referenced he had a dry personality. I was mortified. First I don't remember writing the review until my wife told me (which is no excuse). Then I got a sick feeling in my stomach on how I could have ruined a persons day/job with that review. I called Nick back immediately and told Nick that I didn't think anyone even read the reviews (which is no excuse) and at the time I was mad at something else and just took it out on him for no reason. Nick told me not to worry about it. I told him that I have no excuses and owned it. I have never hung out with Nick so I don't know his personality. I have egg on my face and I am embarrassed that I could have been so flippant. What I do know about Nick is that he deals with my daughter who's medicine for ADHD and being Hyper has worn off at the end of the day. He has the patience of a Saint to deal with her in a calm demeanor . What I do know about Nick and his staff, is that in December when my daughter was so behind in her school math book that they let her stay past the 1 hour to help her with the extra pages so she could turn it in before the next semester started. Only 6 girls out of 22 turned it in and my daughter was proud she was one of them. If I owned a Mathnasium Nick would be my number one draft pick. You can feel safe that Nick is protecting your investment. After I asked him to send another review he was nice enough to say it was not necessary and I didn't have to do that and not to worry about it. I told him I want to do it. He shouldn't get a bad review because I am a moron. Please feel free to use any of these statements except the ones that make me look like and idiot. :). Nick and his staff get the 10 and thanks addressing the issue so fast for hiring more Math Teachers.

The staff is truely amazing! They have great communication with the parents and in my case with the teacher as well. Mostly, they took their time to get to know my child and her need to help her understand the concept of math! My daughter has made a big improvement in such a short time and overall she has gained more confidence in herself when in class. Jennifer, Lauren, Trent, Brad, and Mat are absolutely great! Thank you for all you do!

My daughter hated math and struggled for years with it. She would get frustrated to the point of tears almost daily when working on homework. We tried lots of different ways to study and nothing seemed to help. She has attended mathnasium for three months and loves it! Her grade has gone up in those three months from a D- to a C+. I'm confident it will be continue to go up another grade or so by the end of the year.
She loves going to mathnasium. The staff is so kind and encouraging to her and make it fun. I don't have to fight her anymore and she is gaining confidence in herself in other areas of schooling as well. Worth every penny we have spent :)

I like that there is no extra homework assigned. I also like that if they are proficient in an area you move on rather than have them continue to repeat what they already know. Being able to take their school homework is helpful if they are not understanding a concept that may not have been covered as yet by Mathnasium.

Nick helped my son more in one session than his math teachers have been able to in three years. He listens and responds to my son's questions and tailors the instruction to his needs. My son has always been able to understand math concepts but not put them into practice-something was missing. After just 4 sessions with Nick he got his first A on a test in three years and he likes math again! Thank you so much.

My daughter loved going to Mathnarsium, and always said that the "teachers" there were really nice and helpful. Before Mathnasium, we had many tearful evenings at the kitchen table when she was struggling to understand her math homework. Thanks to Mathnasium, she got the extra help that she needed, and is now doing much better, with significantly improved test scores.

Hello. I'm Nick Kinton, Center Director of Mathnasium of South Barrington, 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 800+ 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.
