Founded in 2002, Mathnasium grew from a simple belief: when maths is taught in a way that makes sense, children can develop a deeper understanding and greater confidence in their abilities. Today, the Mathnasium Method™ is taught in more than 1,200 centres worldwide.

In the 1990’s, education industry pioneers Peter Markovitz and David Ullendorff recognised that, to truly be successful in school and in life, students need a solid understanding of mathematics. There was a vast disconnect, though, between students’ learning skills and the maths curriculum they were taught in school.
To address that gap, they founded Mathnasium, a maths-only learning centre committed to providing the world’s best instruction. Their goal: teach children how to think, with the skills to succeed in maths and the confidence to achieve their academic potential.
After an exhaustive search, they found the perfect person to help them achieve their vision: Larry Martinek, a beloved educator, teacher trainer and curriculum consultant. Larry and Mathnasium’s expert team spent years refining the most powerful teaching methods and materials into the comprehensive, industry-leading Mathnasium Method™.
The trio opened the first Mathnasium Learning Centre in Los Angeles in late 2002 and began franchising in 2003. The extraordinary dedication of Mathnasium’s local centre owners and staff, combined with Mathnasium’s child-centered approach, proved wildly successful. Mathnasium has become an award-winning, world-class maths education company and global demand for our service has soared.
Since our inception, Mathnasium has been trusted by over a million parents in neighbourhood learning centres on five continents.
Working closely with their international teams, Mathnasium has successfully localised the programme, adapting to needs of differing curricula, and creating a programme with international relevance that gives children around the globe the power to achieve excellence in maths.
Our daughter Amelia joined Mathnasium just over a year ago and has made leaps and bounds in Maths since! The team always seem so enthusiastic and are very accommodating. Our eldest also thoroughly enjoyed the Summer programme last year. I would highly recommend!

Excellent. My child has really progressed and enjoys attending. The star collecting system where they can use them to swap for toys and books really work. All the tutors are fantastic especially Oscar. Thank you
Mathnasium is such a great place for learning whilst covering all the content you can learn whilst having fun. I recommend it to GCSE students who need to prepare for exams.
My daughter has never enjoyed maths as much as she does now. She loves the atmosphere, and the reward system keeps her motivated and excited to learn. Thank you to the Mathnasium team in St Albans for making maths such a positive experience!
