Mathnasium has been great for my daughter. Because of COVID her math scores were really suffering. Having to Zoom classes and not have direct access to her teachers at school definitely took its toll on her understanding and retention. Within a few months at Mathnasium she recaptured the lost information and kept up to date with her 8th grade math courses. Not only is she making an A in that class but last month was voted math student of the month by her teacher. Quite a difference from last years tears and frustration...I would definitely recommend Mathnasium and Lori Kim. She has been terrific.

The Costa Mesa Mathnasium has been a great resource for my two children over the last four years. My son did his entire seventh and eighth grade math curriculum through Mathnasium while he was in charter school, and both of my children have continued on with Mathnasium four enrichment purposes. They are both consistently in advanced math classes at their respective schools and performing well. I can’t say enough great things about the quality of Mathnasium’s staff and instruction! I highly recommend.

Mathnasium has immensely helped my daughter in Math . She has been with the center for almost 3 years now and the confidence she have gained in her math skills have vastly improved. She also learned to appreciate and be patient with its process as having the foundation in math does not develop overnight. Totally rocking in Math , she says nowadays!

We love Mathnasium! Our daughter has gained so much confidence with her math skills. The prize points help keep her motivated. Especially during this Covid environment, the tutoring has been extremely helpful in keeping her on track with her class. Her online tutors Calvin and Matthias have been extremely patient and she’s loves working with them. Marissa, the center asst. director, has been super accommodating with our scheduling needs. My only suggestion would be that the center open at 2pm Monday through Friday for better scheduling during Covid and accommodating the school’s hybrid learning environment. Thanks!

I really value the individualized, real-time instruction that my children receive with Mathnasium @Home, particularly since the schools have converted to distance learning due to the coronavirus crisis. I fear my children's overall education will suffer, but at least I have confidence that they will continue to build their mathematical skills during this difficult time. The one-hour virtual sessions three times a week with their instructor help bring structure to their day and my children enjoy seeing familiar faces.

My son, Rodolfo Kevin Sanchez, was able to understand calculus a lot more and Mathnasium provided all the support he needed to pass his AP Calculus AB exam. Now, he is in college and his easiest class was calculus. He’s thankful for each and every Mathnasium team member for helping him in his education journey. After my son went to college, we placed our daughter, Allison Sanchez, into Mathnasium to help her understand math since she had trouble during school. Her math scores went up and she is one of the best math students in her class. We are thankful for everything that Mathnasium provided.

Lori And her team are very welcoming and have created a community of math enthusiasts! My daughter has enjoyed coming and is confident her math homework is complete, and is ready for the tests by reviewing the lessons and being prepared. As a corporate executive and mom, I can spend my time enjoying being her mom and caregiver and spend quality time together, instead of trying to be a tutor and math teacher on top of everything else!

We love this place! My daughter felt a little behind in math, so we decided to check out Mathnasium because it’s so conveniently located on Newport and 17th. I immediately was so impressed by how responsive Lori and Marissa were. They are so kind and knowledgeable. They made us feel right at home, and I knew they would keep the kids safe and comfortable. My daughter has only been a member for about a month, but she already feels so much more confident in math. She has a BLAST everytime she goes because the teachers make it fun and the other students are so sweet. She loves earning stars for prizes. It is an awesome program that I highly recommend for all kids, whether they struggle in math or not.

Mathnasium is awesome! As a supplement to their school math programs, my elementary, junior high and high school children have been coming to Mathnasium for a couple years now. They receive great tutoring and consistent feedback as well as any help necessary for upcoming quizzes and tests. I highly recommend Mathnasium!

Last February, my grand daughter was failing Algebra 1. As the semester end was nearing, I worried that she would not get credit for the class.
Today’s math is nothing like I remember-so I enrolled her in mathnasium. It was the best decision ever! Her grade improved with each tutoring session. She scored an 86% on her final and earned a “hard fought” C in the class!
Thank you Mike, Andrew and the Mathnasium staff!

I couldn’t be happier with our experience at Lori Kim’s Mathnasium! My daughter has confidence has increased tremendously and her grades improved drastically in math and other subjects in the last quarter of the 2018-19 school year. The supportive environment at Mathnasium allows my daughter to feel safe and secure asking questions about the math she is working on because she knows the instructors are patient and will take as much time as she needs to explain things, sometimes in several different ways, until she understands. At school kids tease her for not understanding and this really made her doubt herself and not want to ask questions.
My daughter really loves the staff of instructors too. They are kind and funny and seem to share a sweet comradery.

We have been coming to Mathnasium South Costa Mesa since it opened and we have seen some great progress for all 3 of my kids! The plan at Mathnasium is to go back far enough to cement the foundational concepts of math so the students have a solid grasp before they move on to more challenging concepts, as well as to provide ample time to work on the math (homework and test prep) they are doing currently at school. It is a great program with fantastic tutors and staff who genuinely care about the kids they work with! Thank you Lori and all at Mathnasium for helping my kids find success in Math!

My sons experience with Mathnasium has been excellent. He started at age 11 in 6th grade and tested at a 4th grade math level. Because of their proven methodologies, he has been able to get closer to his now 7th grade math level. At the beginning he was very timid and down on himself and Mathnasium has helped him become more confident in his math skills. I highly recommend Mathnasium if your child needs the skills to help him be successful.

Lori and her team make learning fun and easy. My daughter looks forward to going every week. They identified her gaps and are filling them in. I can see her confidence building. She gets very excited when she learns NEW strategies and is eager to teach anyone that is willing to listen. THANK YOU so much!! Highly recommend Mathnasium!!!

So far so good. My son loves going to Mathnasium which is why I started sending him there in the first place. I wanted to build a strong foundation in math and challenge him more than he was being challenged in school. He thinks it's fun and is enthusiastic to attend. What more could a parent ask for?

We love Mathbasium for our granddaughter Ice! She has excelled and learned so much from the tutors there. Everyone makes sure she is on task but also having fun. She helps other kids at school now, and she understands math concepts ahead of her class. We are thankful to have found a place where people care.

We started Mathnasium in August 2017. Both girls "hated" math, and tested at 4th grade level (they were going into seventh.) I had a long talk with Lori Kim, the center's owner, and signed the girls up for a one year commitment.
While the assessment test left both girls in tears of frustration, I did finally get them to agree to "try it out" for a couple weeks. Since their first session, they are hooked! There is never one complaint about going, and they think it's fun.
Best part? School just started. One of the girls had to complete a "Getting to Know Me" fact sheet for her language arts class. She asked me to proofread it. Imagine my surprise! Where it said, "Favorite Subject", she wrote "Math!"

For our family mathnasium has been a great experience! Our granddaughter has gained confidence through learning the steps she needs to take towards math skills. She helps her classmates now, participates in class by answering math questions and finishes her math homework ahead of schedule. What a great use of time, energy and resources, and also worth peace of mind knowing she is going through this process with people who care. Many thanks to the team at mathnasium!

Hello. I'm Lori Kim, of Mathnasium of South Costa Mesa, 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.
