Students can choose to attend their Mathnasium sessions in person or online. Our live, face-to-face online sessions are led by the same tutors you would meet at your local learning center.
In traditional classroom settings, it’s difficult for teachers to cater to their students’ individual learning needs and styles.
At Mathnasium, we create assessment-based personalized learning plans for each student, so we can build upon what the student already knows and teach math in a way that makes sense to them. Our tutors guide students to close their knowledge gaps and gradually expand their mathematical thinking.
Working with us, students build lasting confidence and often change how they think and feel about math.
At Mathnasium, we don't follow a one-size-fits-all curriculum. We use the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach designed to empower students to truly understand and enjoy math. The Mathnasium Method™ uses personalized learning plans that are based on each student’s skill level, including strengths and areas for improvement, as well as their goals, such as mastering trigonometry.
Our specially trained tutors then combine personalized learning plans and proven teaching techniques to help students bridge their knowledge gaps and expand their mathematical thinking.
As a result, 90% of our students report better grades and improved confidence.
We like to say that our tutors are “teaching for understanding,” which means that we teach math in a way that makes sense to our students.
Our tutors build upon what students already know, following a personalized learning plan designed to help them leverage their strengths and fill in their knowledge gaps. We work with students to increase their knowledge gradually, breaking down challenging concepts into manageable steps so they can truly understand trigonometry.
Using proven teaching techniques, we help students enhance their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, gain confidence, and unlock their math potential.

Mathnasium's tutors can cover any K-12 trigonometry topic a student needs help with, including right triangle trigonometry, the unit circle, trigonometric functions, graphing, identities, and real-world applications.
Right triangle trigonometry: Sine, cosine, tangent, and solving for missing sides and angles
The unit circle: Radians, degrees, and the coordinates of key angles
Trigonometric functions: Graphing sine, cosine, and tangent, including amplitude, period, and phase shift
Trigonometric identities: Pythagorean identities, sum and difference formulas, and simplifying expressions
Laws of Sines and Cosines: Solving non-right triangles and real-world triangle problems
Inverse trigonometric functions: Finding angles from known ratios
Each student's personalized learning plan targets the specific topics they need to work on, so sessions are always focused and productive.
Our tutors start by connecting trigonometric identities to what students already know about right triangles and the unit circle, then build toward each identity step by step so it makes sense, rather than asking students to memorize it outright. Working through where an identity like the Pythagorean identity comes from helps students see the logic behind the formula instead of just the formula itself.
We also use mental, visual, verbal, tactile, and written techniques to match how each student learns best. Some students grasp an identity faster by sketching it out on the unit circle, while others prefer talking through the steps out loud.
Either way, our goal is for students to walk away understanding why an identity works, so they can apply it with confidence on homework, quizzes, and tests.
Yes! Our tutors work with students of all skill levels to help them excel in their trigonometry class.
At Mathnasium, advanced students can explore topics beyond their school's math curriculum, as well as pursue their academic goals, including:
Scoring high on standardized tests
Getting into the schools and colleges of their choice
Achieving their greatest potential
Yes, our tutors set aside time during each session to help students with their homework and school assignments.
Our tutors work through problems alongside each student, helping them understand the reasoning behind each step. This way, students leave each session not only with their homework done, but with a clearer grasp of the trigonometry concepts behind it, so they can tackle similar problems on their own next time.
Absolutely! Many high school courses treat trigonometry as a major component of the final exam, whether it's folded into Algebra 2, Precalculus, or its own standalone course.
Using a personalized learning plan, our tutors identify knowledge gaps in the topics most likely to appear on the exam, such as identities, the unit circle, or graphing trig functions. By test day, students have already worked through the material they're most likely to see on the exam, so nothing catches them off guard.
Yes, our tutors help students learn and master the trigonometry concepts most likely to appear on test day, particularly on the ACT®, which tests trigonometry directly.
Using a personalized learning plan, we help students close knowledge gaps and build problem-solving strategies, so they head into the SAT®, ACT®, or PSAT® tests with solid trigonometry skills and more confidence.
Absolutely! Our specially trained tutors work with students both in-person and online.
Our online learning platform delivers the same learning experience as our in-person tutoring. Students will even work with the same trigonometry tutors they would encounter at their nearest Mathnasium learning center.
No, there isn’t. Mathnasium’s online trigonometry tutoring is the same as our in-person sessions. Students who choose to attend Mathnasium online will receive the same quality of live, face-to-face instruction and even work with the same tutors they would meet at their local learning center.
Attending Mathnasium 2 to 3 times per week is the typical pace for steady, meaningful progress, though how long a student stays on that pace depends on their individual goals and starting point.
Every student's path looks different. During the initial assessment, your local Mathnasium center will suggest a schedule built around current skill level, goals, and the support needed.
Students closing bigger knowledge gaps may benefit from more frequent sessions at first, while those looking to stay ahead might thrive with a lighter schedule.
Showing up consistently matters more than cramming in extra sessions. Regular attendance helps students build momentum and hold onto what they've learned, session after session.
Mathnasium uses a flat monthly membership model, so costs stay predictable from month to month. Since cost differs by location and learning plan, contact your nearest location directly for current pricing.
Membership gives your child a personalized learning plan built around their trigonometry goals, plus the freedom to attend sessions in-center, online, or a mix of both.
Students begin their Mathnasium journey with a diagnostic assessment which helps us identify their current skill level and create a personalized learning plan that will put them on the best path towards math mastery.
Getting started with trigonometry tutoring at Mathnasium is as easy as one-two-three:
Find a location. Reach out to your nearest learning center, even if your student will be learning online.
Schedule an assessment. Our diagnostic skills assessment helps us create a customized learning plan for your student.
Book your sessions. Your local Center Director can guide you and your student in setting up a tutoring schedule.
My son just adores his instructor! Her expertise in trigonometry and calculus has put our minds at ease. We are very grateful for her and the team at Mathnasium for their attentiveness and polite nature as well.
My kid is doing so much better in trigonometry and their confidence is way up!! Thank you so much!
My daughter enjoys attending Mathnasium. The tutors are very knowledgeable and supportive. She is getting exactly the support she needs in her Algebra 2 Trig class.
