Mathnasium

I have 2 sons who go to Mathnasium in Fairfax Commons; Neha and Rish are truly dedicated teachers and mentors for both of my sons.
My older son is in 7^th Grade Honors Math who had some gaps in certain parts of the FFX Cty Math curriculum. They tested him to see where the gaps were and then did review and are now trying to keep him on track and ahead of the current curriculum. He goes willingly to Mathnasium and asked him if he wanted to stop and he says emphatically NO. He is not necessarily the most dedicated of students but understands that this is helping him maintain an A average in 7^th Grade Honors Math. Just to let you know it is not only the grade but that they are solidifying his understanding of basic math principles and giving him a solid base and the confidence to succeed. (We definitely have less homework meltdowns over math in our house; if he gets stuck he can always get help and I don’t have to pull my hair out.) They know the Fairfax County Curriculum at all levels (Elem., Middle and High) and will also work directly with the School Teacher to provide more targeted help to the student.
My younger son is already very good at math and does not have a problem per se except maybe school curriculum being a little too easy and I think sometimes bored. I have him in Mathnasium to give him extra challenge and to push him a little bit. Since he is very mathematically inclined I want him to use and develop his ability now and be ready for later in High School and in College in case he decides to pursue a career in Math/​Science/​Engineering. They provide the extra challenge he needs and also can provide parents with many options in the area for extra-​curricular contests, groups etc that target identifying and nurturing Math Talent.
I am very happy with them and only wish I had found them sooner.
