Mathnasium of La Canada

The staff is friendly and my daughter is enjoying learning math. Sometimes she’s disappointed if I can’t take her.

We are very pleased with Mathnasium. My daughter’s math skills and confidence have vastly improved since going twice a week. The teachers are young, enthusiastic, and motivating. Our only complaint is the parking situation and the congestion at the 3 – 4 pm hour, but that will still not deter us from continuing with Mathnasium since we could not be happier with it.

Wonderful, positive, stable environment to learn and enjoy Math! Such an great way to engage children’s minds. My son acually wants to go and stay as long as possible. I actually have to make him leave. Thank you Sharon and staff for all you do.

I cannot recommend Mathnasium of La Canada highly enough. I was very nervous when I signed up my two daughters (5^th and 7^th grade this fall) past June because they have never responded well to tutorial programs in the past. So I was very relieved when they both reported LOVING it the first day. Ever since, they have been going every day! I never have to push them to go. Amazingly in a period of short two and a half months, both have become math wizards and I have the comfort of knowing that they will feel strong in their new math classes this fall.
There are a few things about the program that promote love of math in kids:
1. They are given work based on individual assessments of their skills. They work on their own and the ‘coaches’ check and correct their work. The coaches have ways of explaining concepts that click with my kids. Sometimes they can’t wait to tell me new tricks and ideas they have learned.
2. Their reward system is part of the magic: My kids, especially the younger one, love winning prizes when they finish a certain amount of the work correctly. They have both brought home $ 5 gift cards (Target, Rite Aid, & Starbucks, etc.), other goodies, and just yesterday a remote control helicopter :). Needless to say they are just thrilled with these prizes.
3. They keep records of the kids’ progress and have a very good idea of what kids need to work on. They have pre– and post-​tests to see how much kids are learning. When my kids saw how much they have learned from their pre-​test, they were amazed and proud.
4. Ultimately it is the staff and the owner, Sharon Park, who make the program work. They are wonderful and dedicated (Go, coach Joe!) yet create a relaxed atmosphere. I can’t sing their praises high enough :)

We cannot express the gratitude and relief of finding Mathasium LA Canada! My daughter struggled with math since 1^st grade and in 4^th found out she needed vision therapy. After completing 20 weeks of therapy she was ready to retrain her math skills but had a difficult attitude towards math. After meeting with Sharon Park, her teachers worked with my daughter and she came home saying she loved it! After 3 weeks I over heard her tell a friend math was her favorite subject! Truly a miracle!
Sharon has created a peaceful uplifting atmosphere that any child would thrive in. Her (Mathasium’s too) heart is to make sure each child understands the concepts of math rather than just do the drill for short term memory and gain confidence while having fun with lots of opportunities to win prizes. Thank you Sharon & your wonderful teachers!

Thumbs up to Mathnasium! This is a great program. The owner Sharon Park and all the tutors are so very helpful and friendly. The staff is wonderful they teach in a manner that my daughter understands the first time. They have helped my daughter with her geometry and she has maintained an A in the class. Her test scores are excellent. It is also very convenient because she can just go after school and get the help she needs. Whether it be homework or studying for a test. Thank you Mathnasium for your wonderful program.

Come take a look at this place and check out the program. The «Mathnasium» method is all about foundations that schools don’t adequately teach or instill. Owner is a stats prof at Csula and PCC. Lots of talented staff

In two short weeks Mathnasium has already helped my son.
He just got a «A» on a quarter end algebra test and he is now getting better grades on homework.
They test the student when they start in the program and create a curriculum to fill in gaps. The student can also work on homework and the instructor will check it.
