We had a great experience with Steve from Strength in Numbers, who tutored our middle-school…read moredaughter in math, and Melissa, who tutored our son for the SAT. Steve was able to work with our daughter on her homework each week and help her understand any concepts she might have missed in class. He also helped her prepare for both regular public school math tests and standardized tests for private school. We had used a private math tutor and Mathnasium before and found that Strength in Numbers was far better at meeting our needs. Likewise, Melissa did a great job working with our son to prepare him for the SAT, which he recently took and felt very positively about.

They have a prize system. Every page you complete you earn a Star, after earning about 20 stars you fill a card, and there are many prizes to pick from, each prize has a different value (in number of cards you collect) This system works well with my kids, and very encouraging to solve more questions. They are constantly working towards their goal.

I am falling short of words to describe their poor and unbelievably unprofessional management…read more First they don't bother receiving phone calls; when I finally get through to confirm class availability, they assure me there is space after which I pay the $100 registration fee online. A week before classes are to commence, they call to inform me that they don't have space anymore, and when I ask them to refund registration fee, they say it's not refundable! I am still incredulous and trying to make sense of how they will bear no responsibility for their dysfunctional management, rather refuse to return the fee that *they* made me pay in the first place after falsely confirming availability. Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!

This place was awful…read more Although RSM is a good idea and taught by relatively intelligent and understanding teachers, the language barrier makes effective communication almost impossible. Above this, there's an almost cultish air to the entire institute; the teachers are dead set on the beliefs that they have, and it leaks through in various lessons. Above this, a cutthroat environment is encouraged at RSM, where kids will be mocked for making mistakes - which I personally don't believe bothered my son more than the average of two-three hours of homework per week - at least. I've sent my son to three locations due to scheduling reasons, and he was in the program for three years until his constant begging to quit got to us. We instead got a private tutor, who he can firstly understand, but also stand learning with. In conclusion, I hope you find other schools to try first before finally resorting to RSM. Perhaps try Kumon, or private tutoring if you are capable of providing that.

Last year we needed to hire a tutor to help our son with his math, a friend told us about this…read moreamazing company out of Watertown called Kids for Kids tutoring where the turors were high school kids. We liked the sound of another kid helping our son so we inquired and met with Lisa the owner and were more than impressed by what we heard. An honour role senior named Janaki helped our son learn math. She taught him on his level and in a way that he easily understood. I thoroughly recomend Kids for Kids, it is an inspired idea that will help tons of kids!!! The rates are fantastic, so much better than traditional tutors and your kids will learn in a way they can relate to. First class, top marks, a winner in every way.

My son has been going to RSM advanced for the last 3 years. Its an excellent program. I consider…read morethis program to be one of the few perks for living in MA. Teachers are dedicated, sincere and truly care about a student's well being. Being a first generation American, I have tasted the advantages of knowing and applying math in my day to day work life. I have also found the math taught in public schools in this country to be a joke compared to the math kids in other countries do. If your child has an aptitude for math, RSM is the only game in town. RSM's unique advantage is also its biggest disadvantage. Because of the unique approach they have taken which requires a one on one interaction between the teacher and student, the model cannot be scaled on a large scale through out the US like other institutions like Kumon (whose quality IMHO is way way...lower). What they need to figure out now, is a way to spread this through out the US ***without compromising quality*** so future generations have a true shot at getting a high quality math education.

Each had their own reasons for being there: one needed help filling in the gaps, the other wanted to be challenged. Both left feeling great about their skills and their grades showed. The one-on-one instruction with two others at pod kept them motivated and relaxed. Great instructors and a good set up without the stress of a classroom program. Thanks Mathnasium!

This is not a friendly learning center for people of color. I recently visited Mathnasium Newton…read morewith my 8 year old daughter. Despite having an appointment, the owner ignored me for 43 minutes while taking white customers, who entered the center after me. When she did sit down with me, she was rude and clearly did not want to speak with me. I bought some of my observations about her obvious racial preference to her attention. Her response was not apologetic or even acknowledging of an error. She instead told me that "technically her appointment was not with me, but with my daughter". As a black woman, as a mother, as a human being, I will never return to this center!

Since Covid, the class isn't in person; it's prerecorded online. So you can't ask any questions or actively participate.
