Mathnasium
Is This Your Business?
LAST UPDATED: January 29th, 2020
Mathnasium was created in 2002, inspired by the work of math educator Larry Martinek. Over 40 years ago he decided to find a better way to teach children math and created the Mathnasium Method. Mathnasium provides in-person tutoring for elementary through high school students. An online version of the service is available in a limited number of states. Mathnasium says it helps change their clients' fear of math as well as make improvement in their understanding of the subject.

Micheal and his well trained staff are very well liked by the kids they help learn to love math. Our daughter has become more confident in her math skills and her comprehension level has risen greatly due to Michael and his staff. We highly recommend mathnasium and encourage you to give them a chance to answer any questions. You will find your doubts are unwarranted as your child thrives as a result of their learning method.

Mathnasium did a great job offering instruction on elementary concepts my child needed. They adjusted as needed and were very easy to work with.

Orem/Provo, Utah Mathnasium - Inexperienced college students run this center. They lack an understanding of child psychology and development. They also don't understand effective teaching methods and strategies.
