My kids enjoyed their multiple years at Mathnasium. They made learning seem fun. However the reason why we left is because Mathnasium is fixated on kids mastering the subject material before moving on. Sometimes we wouldn't be able to come in for a few weeks and my kids would forget the subject material. So they would have to start over. Therefore the material at Mathnasium wouldn't match what they were studying in school. read more

We started in the summer, so my son could be more confident with his math skills as he entered middle school. It's helped so much that we chose to continue the program into the school year. He seems to really enjoy the program and actually comes back feeling more confident and empowered after class! (...and middle school is going great so far, too! ; ) read more

My son loves Mathnasium, he feels confident in what he can do there. I was just blown away when he ever finished a lesson. Mathnasium's summer of fun was definitely fun! (The account name says it on my son's binder) read more

My son (8+) and daughter (6+) have been going to this center for close to 7 months. We really like structure of coaching. My kids find it fun and never complain about going to mathnasium. There is lot incentives for kids for doing workbooks. Also, there is incentive for parents in terms of no take home work. So far we are very happy with my kids progress they are making in math and strongly recommend it. read more

My 11 years old son loves mathnasium. He has been coming for the past couple of months and never complains. We previously had he and his sister enrolled at Kumon which was a disaster from start to finish. What we love about Mathnasium is - Individual assessment. ID's areas that need work - Individualized plan. Based on output of assessment - Friendly tutors who work with your child - No Homework (why kumon is the worst) - Fun built in, there is time allowed at the end to play board games (my son is learning how to play chess) - activity based recognition. Punch cards that can be traded in immediately for treats or toys (we all work for incentives that's why we get paid after all!). Why we found this to be better than Kumon - no homework. Kumon puts the onus on the parents to ensure homework gets done. Causes arguments at home like you wouldn't believe. - Kumon uses a boxed approach to their worksheets. Everyone does the same thing no personalization. Tons and tons and tons of worksheets. - feels like a library. It was so quiet at our local Kumon the kids sat there like they were in a test environment. Very little talking even from the instructors. - very intimidating environment and very little fun. The happiest moment my kids had at Kumon was when they were leaving their weekly check in. Then it was up to me to push to get the worksheets done. - the recognition awards program was an iPad or something equally large but even that made it soul destroying as it made the mountain so high to climb they could only think about how onerous the journey was! Mathnasium is more expensive but we are a much happier family in this environment so it's worth the additional expense. So so so happy we found Mathnasium!!!' read more

Mathnasium - Tutoring Centers Near Me - San Jose, California

I wish I found this place a year ago. My 12 year old is feeling confident in her ability to learn and loves all of the teachers that have helped her. read more

Our daughter is a high school freshman who has struggled with math for years. We started Mathnasium in late October and saw her math grade improve from a C- to a solid B by the end of the semester. What's even better is that -- because they spend time doing current homework AND building skills lacking from way back to elementary school -- our daughter is truly making progress in understanding math, not just applying yet another band-aid to get through another course. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and flexible in working with busy schedules. read more

Love the flexibility here. My daughter likes the staff and I notice more confidence in her math skills.

My 10 year old daughter has been attending weekly for almost 4 months. She goes 2-3 times per week by request! She has met with many of the instructors and seems to enjoy working with them all. They encourage her and challenge her. She has a specific learning plan and I get a daily report of what they have worked on. Her overall confidence and ability in math has improved and it is beginning to show at school this year. I have found the instructors to be patient, friendly and kind. The owners, David and Jennifer, are present and available. One of them is always on site and during summer when they were on vacation, we were given ample notice and a plan for their absence. Communication and customer service are suburb! Overall, I believe it is an excellent program! read more

Mathnasium of Almaden is helping my two daughters succeed in math. Both daughters, ages 14 and 10, moved their grades to an "A" as a result of Mathnasium tutoring. What is astounding is that neither daughter fears math now and both have found new confidence in the subject. The instructors, Sandy, Mary, and the others, are excellent. Jennifer and David, the owners of Mathnasium, are highly selective in choosing instructors. As a consequence, the tutoring sessions are not only instructive, but they are FUN! My daughters look forward to their sessions. Every parent wants their child to find success and confidence. Mathnasium helped us find success and confidence for our daughters. read more

My son has been going here for about six months and has really gained in both skills and confidence. I love the drop-in format and small-group setting. I wish they had more hours. read more

Our daughter has been going since first grade at Williams Elementary. She has gained confidence and a great foundation attending Mathnasium. She is currently in 7th Grade Accelerated math at Bret Harte and continues with Mathnasium through their online instruction. The online method has been very effective with a breakout rooms for each student to get the same individual attention as the in person Center. Jennifer and David the owners are so organized, responsive, and run a tight ship with the curriculumthat is offered by Mathnasium. We get regular reports of our daughter's progress, learning plan, and we can see what she's working on with the instructors. The staff is wonderful with the students explaining math in ways they can understand concepts and problems. We also get homework help when she needs it. She has been studying with Cuong consistently for the past 6-7 years and he is patient, funny, and helps her a lot. All in all, we believe in this investment for our daughter and it has been worth every dollar. read more

Mathnasium has been great for my daughter. She has been going here for about 3 years and she's been far better off for it. I like them a lot because they are neither aggressively pushy nor push-overs to parents. They have a pragmatic approach and attitude -- which allows the kids to enjoy the experience. read more

This looks like a thriving place with happy students. We haven't tried this place yet but we would pass by several nights a week while going to Little Gym and I kept thinking this would be a great place if my kids needed math help. read more

From my child, age 9: I love Mathnasium because the teachers are understand difficulty and they always seem to know how to reach you in a different way. They explain concepts in multiple ways. Mathnasium has great incentives for kids. If you make a mistake, it is not a big deal. The teachers explore your thinking process with you and try to figure out what happened. Sometimes the process is good, but the calculation is incorrect. Finally, Mathnasium has a calm family feel and I can't wait to come back tomorrow!! read more

Excellent place to get math tutoring and support. My daughter was evaluated and given appropriate work. She enjoys her sessions and I feel it is well worth the price. She is actually doing fine at school but their pace is sometimes too fast and they don't review enough for her. Plus with the new math called Common Core, I was afraid she might have some gaps and not be prepared for high school. Mathnaseum is just what we need! The owners are professional, knowledgeable and care about the kids. Highly recommended! read more

The owners of this location are very kind and thorough. I especially liked the assessment given to my high school student and their approach to filling in the holes. The afternoon and evening hours and open on Sunday are very convenient. My daughter often tries to work her schedule to get help from Sandy. He is easy to work with and he makes it comfortable for my daughter to ask for help. You can judge a location by the looks and sounds from the students and at this location they seem happy to be there. As a parent the updated emails on my student mean they know of her progress. They even addressed the best hours to come depending on who you work with. Can't say enough good things. You should give it a try. read more

My daughter likes coming here which is great! She has fun and is learning :) I see her using some techniques / shortcuts while doing her homework and she says she learned them at mathnasium. She likes all the teachers too :) Thank you!! read more

My son, a junior in high school, was struggling with Pre-Calculus and resistant to getting help. From the first appointment with Jennifer, his attitude changed. Her encouragement, assessment and teaching skills were top-notch. She located deficits in his previous learning which explained his current difficulties. She created a plan to fill in the lost info and support future learning. He enjoyed working with his tutors and never complained about his twice weekly appointments. He went from an "F" to a "B" in his last grading period. Wish we had found them sooner! Highly recommend this program. read more

I used to work for this Mathnasium 2015. I have to say, that though I've worked as a tutor for various places since, I've never seen anything as successful and as fun as Mathnasium. They really know what they're doing and they have a whole method named after the company, called the Mathnasium Method. On top of teaching intelligent ways for the students to learn how to do math, they make math really fun, reward the students with prizes often, and play intellectual games after their session so that students are entertained and stimulated. I really did like this tutoring center and the owners Dave and Jennifer are doing a great job! read more

Brooke has been going to Mathnasium for about a month now and I already see improvement. She has gained confidence and now demonstrates a positive attitude when doing math. The tutors and staff are patient and enthusiastic about teaching. I never would have thought my daughter would be this excited to go to a math learning center. Great Program! read more

My daughter is going here for little more than 2 years now. Started as a third grader. It went from "MATH IS HARD, I HATE IT " to "MY FAVORITE SUBJECT IS MATH." I would recommit this place over lots of other places. Best thing I like is I can go whenever I want to and 1:4 maximum teacher:student ratio. read more
