When we started at Mathnasium, my then-fourth grader was at a school where we knew the curriculum did not emphasize content for standardized tests. We had heard positive things about Mathnasium from several friends, so we sent our child here. When he started, he was in the middle of 4th grade (during the distance learning year of the pandemic, Feb 2021) and Mathnasium assessed his starting level as late 3rd grade, early 4th grade. Six months later, he was testing at the late fifth grade, early 6th grade level. In short, his results were incredible. We did send him very consistently 3x per week, and we did have to help keep him motivated, but for the most part, he was happy to attend the sessions. He is a naturally quick learner, and Mathnasium capitalized on that for us big time. I greatly appreciated the good communication and feedback on his progress, as well as the professionalism and kindness of the director and the tutors.
Awesome instructors and very attentive management. I have been taking my daughter for the last four years and have tried several different branches and Alta Dena branch has proven to be superior by far.
I am so happy that I found Mathnasium. My son’s school is really focusing on writing in English but he loves math and Mathnasium has allowed him to be challenged and learn more. He gets to experience the learning he loves the most with a great staff which as a parent makes me extremely happy.
My kids love attending, all of the tutors are super friendly and professional, I love that it is real in-person instruction and it is not just rote memorization (one of my kids attended Kumon for a year and it was not engaging at all). They like that they can earn prizes and there are things to keep it interesting- like the problem of the week and other fun activities. I can see this being a long-term enrichment activity since they don’t mind attending.
The people at Altadenas Mathnasium are wonderful! My daughter showed significant growth in her math skills on her latest school assessments! We are so pleased with her progress!
Dylan and his crew are very good at making us, especially our children feel welcome and they also made our kids feel like they can improve and actually enjoy doing math! Their rewards system is very motivating for the kids that my daughter even wanted to go there on her birthday! Great team in Altadena Mathnasium 😊
The crew at Mathnasium of Altadena has given my daughter back her confidence in her ability to understand mathematical concepts. Hearing her come home from school and say that was easy = priceless! UPDATE 2: She is understanding her high school Statistics better than I ever did, and she is motivated to learn math. She just earned a major prize at Mathnasium that she is very proud of, and her drive to do well is continuing; in other words, it isnt about the prize, its about the learning. This program is time well used.
Your tutoring of Oliver (11) has increased his self confidence in class and sparked a genuine interest in all subject matter that is math related, just recently I have seen him draw Fibonacci spirals and make calculations on a sheet of paper, just for fun! Thank you!
Mathnasium Altadena is a wonderful place if your child is struggling in Math and is falling behind. My son went up three gade levels in a matter of 6 months
Sons math confidence is at an all-time high after one year. Since he is currently in 7th grade Honors Math he would actually need to get up to 9th grade level (his words) Mathnasium continues to be the ticket.
