    I've come back after many years to leave this review. For context, I was briefly a student here…read moreback in 2009. You'll understand in a moment why I waited so long to write this. I took SAT tutoring here, back when the SAT had three sections and was scored out of 2400. I ended up with a 2040 -- which at the time was the ~94th percentile. I scored a 730 on the Writing section, which was the ~99th percentile for men back then. So why the bad review? I ended up dropping out and self-studying halfway through because I was treated in an extremely condescending and arrogant way by Vincent Perry. At first, I had a wonderful tutor who handled my English and Writing sections -- she was kind, patient, and professional. When she left, I was told I was "lucky" to be upgraded to a "master tutor," Vincent, at no extra charge. For context, they were charging $50 an hour at the time but paying tutors only $15 an hour. I know this because several UCSD students I knew worked there and confirmed it. Vincent started an argument with me during our very first essay review after I used the phrase "due to." He claimed it was grammatically incorrect because it supposedly referred to being "due" like a deadline rather than "as a result of." When I politely disagreed, he told me I was being argumentative. I can assure you, I was polite and articulate -- he simply didn't like being challenged. So I dropped out and finished my prep on my own. About a year later, when I was in college, I applied for a position there. Vincent sent me an unprofessional rant accusing me of being a terrible student with poor work ethic -- completely out of nowhere, and long after I'd left. Without his help, I still achieved an excellent SAT score and couldn't justify asking my parents to keep paying for those lessons. I went on to graduate from UCSB, a Tier 1 research university, taught math and computer science for six years, and later worked at Microsoft and several tech startups as a senior sales executive. I can't attribute even a fraction of that success to this place. From what I remember, the lessons mostly consisted of buying a review book, being assigned problems, and then going over those problems in class. You can buy the same books yourself for under $100 and save the trouble of being mistreated. Even though this happened many years ago, I doubt much has changed. Remember that students don't forget experiences like this -- treat them with respect and listen to them. Your students are your customers.

    WOW! What a difference a summer at Mathnasium can make! My rising fourth grader attended 25…read moresessions and, in that time, she went from being a kid who wasn't sure she liked math very much to being a kid who considers math to be one of her favorite subjects. This school year, we've seen a huge difference in her confidence level as she can now can zip through problems with ease. It's made doing homework after school so much easier. Some days she doesn't have math homework at all because she can finish it before the end of the day (which never happened before Mathnasium). All of this is thanks to the fantastic Mathnasium team. They were incredibly helpful and supportive and customized a plan that was specific to the areas she needed to work on. They have a fun prize system that was very motivating as well. You will be truly amazed by the speedy progress your child makes here. I highly recommend it.

    Posted on behalf of my daughter Harley:…read more I've been going to Mathnasium for a while now, and I've got to say, it's really awesome! The instructors there are super friendly and they always make me feel comfortable, no matter how tricky the math problems are. They're always ready to help me out and explain things in a way that makes sense to me. It's cool how they don't just give me the answers, but help me understand the concepts behind the problems. I'm definitely getting better at math because of them. Plus, the environment is really welcoming, which makes learning a lot more fun!
