Mathnasium

My daughter has been attending Mathnasium in Skokie since the end of Freshman year and is now a Senior. She was behind in several academic years and learned to master those areas of concern. She has brought homework and reviewed for tests as well as practiced for ACT learning strategy She was resentful when she first began but as she saw the progress in herself and understanding the different areas in math, her self– esteem and confidence grew. She became a different student and concerned about school and grades. She also looks at Mathnasium as a social setting because she has made friends with the tutors. She feels confident with them that she feels open enough to speak to them about other matters.

Both of my sons (now 13 and 9) have been going to Mathnasium for 3+ years. Mathnasium’s individualized approach lets each kid work at their own pace and get help with the concepts that they need reinforcing. This is a great complement to the less differentiated approach at their school. The extra time to do math each week has made my younger son confident and excited about math at school. For my older son who is very talented at math, Mathnasium has allowed him to work ahead of his grade when appropriate and also gives him a chance to get help with difficult homework.
The staff are well-​trained, prepared and very helpful. I would recommend Mathnasium to any family that is looking for extra help for a child who is struggling with math or for a child who excels at math and would relish the opportunity to work at his or her own pace.

My three children (13,11,8) have been attending mathnasium for almost two years for various reasons. My oldest child loves math and begged to attend after seeing some formulas written on the wall. My middle child was struggling a bit and after a year at mathnasium is excelling. My youngest needed a challenge. I have been impressed with the teachers’ ability to identify strengths and weaknesses and provide instruction accordingly. They have not only challenged my children but have made math fun and and creative. The teachers are amazing.
