The school has a high tuition and easily offers some scholarship help if you give them you tax returns.

My kid got into Andover as well... should have gone there in my book. Siblings did and they love the place. St Paul's ... no warm and fuzzy feelings here.

My son was literally failing his junior math class, and I was at my wit's end with trying to help…read morehim. For two years, I tried to help my son. I watched math videos, tried to teach myself the material...and I was spending over three hours a day on this, to no avail. I tried a private tutor, also to no avail. My poor son was embarrassed, depressed, talked frequently about how stupid he was, and subsequently, he often avoided even trying to learn because he felt as though no matter how hard he worked, he could never understand the material. It was all awful. Then we found Mathnasium! My kid was hesitant at first, because he thought it would just be for younger students and that he'd stand out as a high school student, but after his first session, he's never once hesitated to go. Not only are the instructors clearly great educators who have figured out how to reach my son and understand his learning style, but they have made him so, so comfortable during his visits. Truly, it was a matter of four sessions before we save an improvement, and my son now has a B in his class. From an F to a B? Wow. I am stunned, elated, and incredibly grateful to have this program available. Additionally, I get regular emails and texts from the director and staff, checking in to see how I'm feeling, if I have questions, etc. I cannot say enough about Mathnasium. Mathnasium has not only helped my child's grade soar, but more importantly, the lovely teachers there have helped his self-esteem soar. He believes in himself again.

I hired Mathnasium to help my two children with their math struggles starting back on June 24th…read more2022. As of today I've paid them $4,243 to tutor my kids to pass in math in their 5th and 7th grade math. When we started last June it looked promising, I was told to be effective to bring my kids twice a week for an hour each time. I brought my kids on this recommended schedule only to find my kids still continuing to fall behind in math. I brought this to the attention of the owner Richard and he advised to link up with the kids school teachers (which would have been helpful on the front end) only for this to continue to hold my kids back. The math the kids were working on was from too far back in time and not the current issues they were having in school to pass. I would bring them every Tuesday and Thursday night from 4-5PM or from 5-6PM and they were still falling behind. Spending $529/month for two kids to fall behind in school for 7 months I had to halt services because I can't afford to send money after bad money that isn't helping my children succeed in school. Richard has now not only charged me for another month and wont give a full refund for this month since we will no longer be using Mathnasium but has also blamed me for my kids not succeeding more in math by not bringing the kids to Mathnasium more times a week. The kids also have other subjects in school so all of our time can not be fully consumed by Mathnasium. Seven months of two times a week for an hour each session of regular attendance should yield results. I'm not only dissatisfied by this company, but devastated to have invested so much money and time into something that didn't work. I feel lied to and taken advantage of and insulted by the owner. The ultimate horrible reality is that my kids suffered the most as a result of this scam company.

We first met Bethany, owner of Candlestar Services, at a homeschool enrichment program we attended…read more She was teaching a math class. My daughter was having feelings of being unable to understand math the way I was able to explain it. Math is a language. Helping your child learn that language is impossible if you do not speak that language with the same accent or in the same dialect as your child. I decided it was time to try private tutoring. We contracted with Bethany for twice weekly hour long sessions at first. Initially we drove to her home. Here we are, entering our seventh year of 1:1 tutoring with Bethany and we still feel this is the best decision we've made with regard to our daughter's math education. In fact, our daughter graduated Cum Laude from high school in May 2023 but wants to continue to work with Bethany! They are working on higher level mathematics now! They now meet online 1:1 for 50 minutes weekly. Our daughter took a gap year after graduation because she is working as the TA for the dean of her high school, as well as taking a class at our local community college before she leaves for college in September. She plans to continue working with Bethany until she is no longer able to. We highly recommend Bethany for math tutoring!

They brought calm and thoughtfulness. Our child talked about them with respect and about what they taught him. Mrs. Lancaster and Ms. Abby instantly connected with our child and made him feel part of a great culture. And Mrs. Smith is outstanding in how she runs the school and the tone she sets.

However, there still remains a quality of education that I think solidifies how one should approach their career while in the industry, which is through self motivation and learning on your own. Being a part of the Animation, Graphics, and Game Programming major here has lead me to open my eyes about what I'm going to have to do in the world, and that is to work at it with me, myself, and I. Some of my professors didn't have the experience with the latest technology to understand what we can do with it or they didn't have the expertise to answer all my questions, which is why I can say with full confidence, I can be self sufficient where others cannot because I went here. That is the beauty of this school: Survive here, thrive everywhere else.
