FAQ

  • What does Mathnasium Cost?
    We conduct an in-depth assessment for every child before they enroll and the outcome will enable us to understand where your child is mathematically, the program that’s relevant for them and this then determines the cost. Pricing varies by program and location. Contact your local center for more details on enrolment packages.
  • Can you help My Child with the 11+ or Entrance Exam or Other Test Prep?
    We can help all the way through to GCSE, including whatever tests come up in that time. Test Prep is a specific learning goal that’s addressed through individualised targeting of gaps in foundational knowledge, careful analysis of errors to provide the right materials at the right time and improved computational fluency to improve both competence and accuracy in test taking. Improvements in number sense and problem-solving are addressed as students learn to apply what they know out of context, recognizing why numbers are being used and developing their reasoning capability.
  • What makes Mathnasium different from other Math Classes?
    Unlike other math classes, Mathnasium teaches to the individual. Each child is given a comprehensive assessment that pinpoints their exact strengths and weaknesses and a customized learning plan based on their specific learning goals. Our expert instructors provide face-to-face instruction at the right pace for each child.
  • Is Mathnasium for Advanced Students or Struggling Students?
    Both. If a student is struggling, Mathnasium will address their learning gaps so they can catch up and get ahead. For students who already excel in maths, the instructors will work with them to expand their maths skills and help them achieve their greatest potential. And if your child is "doing OK" when you know they could do much better, we can engage and motivate them to reach new heights.
  • What age Students does Mathnasium work with?
    We work with students in Reception up to Year 11 in Highschool
  • What kind of Results does Mathnasium get?
    Children who consistently attend our learning centres enjoy a transformative learning experience and make huge strides in the classroom. Multiple independent studies have found Mathnasium to improve student performance on standards-based tests in 20 sessions or fewer.
  • How often does my Child need to Attend?
    We recommend 2-3 times a week until learning goals are met and parents are satisfied with what their child has accomplished.
  • What is the Mathnasium Method?
    Our mission is to teach children math so that they understand it, master it and love it. We use careful assessment to meet a child exactly where they are at and teach math in a way that makes sense to them.
  • Do you give Homework?
    No. All learning occurs under the efficient and effective guidance of our trained instructors. Adding homework would risk frustration and overload. In fact, we'll set aside some time each session to help your student with their school homework.
  • What happens during the Initial Assessment?
    At Mathnasium, we understand that assessments can sometimes feel stressful for students. That’s why we take a personalized and engaging approach to each assessment. We start by building rapport with your child, giving them a short center tour, and setting expectations. We conduct both a verbal and written assessment to identify your child’s strengths and areas for improvement as well as to gain a true understanding of how each student approaches and thinks about math. More importantly, our assessments don’t feel like a test – we use fun interactive methods to ensure your child feels comfortable and confident.
