Specialties
"We know how to teach your child math."
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 well and lend a helping hand to every student. Our tutors foster a caring, encouraging environment that helps kids thrive and learn!
"We pinpoint your child's learning needs, meet them where they are, and take them where they need to go."
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.
"We will help your child overcome homework frustration."
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.
History
Established in 2002.
More than forty years ago, math educator Larry Martinek was inspired to find a better way to teach children math. His work evolved into a complete curriculum from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade math. In the spring of 2002, education industry leaders Peter Markovitz and David Ullendorff made Larry and his curriculum the driving force of Mathnasium. Larry introduced his teaching methodologies as the Mathnasium Method™ at their first math learning center in Westwood, California. Students of all ages found the curriculum to be incredibly powerful and engaging. As evidence of how effective it is, Mathnasium centers have sprung up across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Today, more than 40 years after Larry first developed it, the Mathnasium Method™ is providing children all over the world increase confidence, critical thinking skills, and mathematical ability to last a lifetime.
