Special Note for West Linn - Wilsonville School District Families
Unlike most other local school districts, all incoming Freshman at West Linn and Wilsonville HS are automatically placed into Geometry or Advanced Algebra (Algebra 2). This means that all 8th graders will be introduced to Algebra 1 before high school even starts. The result is that by the time your child finishes 6th grade, he or she should be able to meet 7th grade 'State of Oregon' standards. Put more plainly, K-6 graders in our district are one year further behind than you think they are.
What does this mean for your students? It means that they'll need to make 1 year of additional progress in math while in primary school (through 5th grade) and have extra solid fundamental skills in order to be ready for high school math before 8th grade starts. Luckily, that is exactly what Mathnasium is designed to do: Math builds upon itself, so it is crucial to fill in any gaps before introducing tougher skills. By teaching kids 'Number Sense', they learn to think on their feet, independently, and become better prepared for the future! Call us, we can help!

My son has been going for 1.5 years and during that time he went from Math being a subject he hated and dreaded to now he brags to his friends it is his favorite subject! The atmosphere is kind, welcoming and relaxed and he always comes out happy and smiling, It took about 8 months before we saw his Math grades improve and now he is doing A and B work!

We are so impressed with Mathnasium. Our daughter has never shown an interest in math, or maybe more importantly, the *confidence* in her math skills like she has since starting Mathnasium of West Linn. The staff are great with her and really show an interest in helping her learn. She is motivated and happy to learn, always eager to go. We're very happy with our (her) experience there!

Mathnasium has been a great program for several children on our family. It has helped keep current math knowledge fresh over the summer and even allowed one student be ahead from where they were when school ended. A nice way to return to school in the fall. Have recommended it to family and friends.

Mathnasium offered a great opportunity for one child in our family to work as far ahead of his grade level as he chose. Math was always his favorite subject but they made it a favorite activity away from school. Another child in the family thought she wasn't very good at math but with the instruction from mathnasium she has become an A student in her math class at school. It is wonderful to see the confidence this has provided. We think mathnasium is a wonderful program and are so pleased we found it.

I think everyone struggles with math at some point in
their life. It can easily "go greek" very quickly. But what if your foundation of math could be rewritten? Wouldn't it be nice to have more "tools" to unlock problems that otherwise would have left you stymied. I am delighted to give that to my child who will not have to work 3 times as hard to get the answer as I have done. For him to be able to "breath" math as easily as breathing air. I cant wait to see where it will take him!

In the second grade, my daughter really enjoys going and is really excited to be able to earn rewards. I think it's both the confidence boost and picking out something. Having nice staff is such a bonus that can easily explain things to her.
The drop in accessibility and weekend hours are such a plus and allow us to come even when the schedule changes and an opportunity opens up!

4 months in, our girls still happily run to the door of Mathnasium feeling good about their time there, their improved skills, the positive interactions they have with the teachers and are always excited to see how many stamps they can earn in their allotted time! We appreciate the regular feedback we receive on their continued improvement. Our third grader used to describe herself as weak in math, she no longer sees math as a weakness of hers.

Math was one of our son’s favorite subjects and he got straight A’s until half way through his Sophomore year.
At a loss - he was tested at Mathnasium and found to be lacking in some basic math components - why - because he had bits and pieces of Algebra I and Geometry in one school - some in another - and as he continued on - no one knew they were missing.
Mathnasium ensured he had all the instruction needed to bridge this gap and succeed and he has!
Thank you Mathnasium!

Having a student with not only a learning disorder but medical issues as well, which made learning difficult since she was always in pain and constantly missing scho, we came to Mathnasium just trying see what the problem was in our daughter's math skills. we found out she was about 4 years behind in skills. we only aimed at get her caught up but she ended up learning valuable work ethic and how to speak up for herself when she didn't understand something. Her GPA went from a 1.8 to landing on the honor roll!

Hello. I'm Bruce Withycombe, Owner/Director of Mathnasium of West Linn, 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.
