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 500+ centers in the US and Canada:
- 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.
- 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 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. 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 set aside time to provide homework help. We help kids understand their assignment so they feel better prepared to complete the work at home.
History
Established in 2013.
More than forty years ago, math educator Larry Martinek was inspired to find a better way to teach children math. He saw a disconnection between the students' basic skills training and the curriculum they were expected to master in the years to come. Over the next three decades, he developed and assembled a blend of methods and materials. As Larry's innovations gained wide circulation over the years, Los Angeles schools began teaching from his materials instead of their textbooks. His work evolved into a complete curriculum from Pre-K-12th grade. As evidence of how effective it is, Mathnasium centers have sprung up across Americas, Europe, and Asia. Today the Mathnasium Method™ is providing children all over the world increased confidence & mathematical ability to last a lifetime.
Mathnasium of Naugatuck Valley has been offering math tutoring and homework help in the community since 2013. We serve the Greater Waterbury area and are a proud member of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce.
