My son was literally failing his junior math class, and I was at my wit's end with trying to help him. For two years, I tried to help my son. I watched math videos, tried to teach myself the material...and I was spending over three hours a day on this, to no avail. I tried a private tutor, also to no avail.
My poor son was embarrassed, depressed, talked frequently about how stupid he was, and subsequently, he often avoided even trying to learn because he felt as though no matter how hard he worked, he could never understand the material. It was all awful.
Then we found Mathnasium! My kid was hesitant at first, because he thought it would just be for younger students and that he'd stand out as a high school student, but after his first session, he's never once hesitated to go. Not only are the instructors clearly great educators who have figured out how to reach my son and understand his learning style, but they have made him so, so comfortable during his visits.
Truly, it was a matter of four sessions before we save an improvement, and my son now has a B in his class. From an F to a B? Wow. I am stunned, elated, and incredibly grateful to have this program available.
Additionally, I get regular emails and texts from the director and staff, checking in to see how I'm feeling, if I have questions, etc. I cannot say enough about Mathnasium.
Mathnasium has not only helped my child's grade soar, but more importantly, the lovely teachers there have helped his self-esteem soar. He believes in himself again. read more
