Mathnasium Math Learning Center

Seth and the staff are great. My kids age 8 and 10 go for enrichment. They love it and are gaining life long skills and confidence. Any homework issues solved as the staff is happy to assist.

My son, soon to be ten years old, has been attending this Sunnyvale math center for over 2 years now and I would highly recommend it. From my son’s perspective, he enjoys learning new math concepts relevant to his grade level, re-​works any classwork assignments where improvements can be made and looks forward to working on his homework at the center. As a parent, I’m so grateful for the following: 1. to have found a center that helps build my son’s confidence in mathematics, 2. a center that caters to math topics based on my son’s needs 3. the center’s ability to conduct on-​going assessments to check in on my child’s overall progress and lastly, a place where my son enjoys learning math! Last, but not least, it helps to know the owner, Leena, is as passionate and caring about the kids and looks out for their best interest.

Excellent resource!
My son has been attending for about a year and we have seen him grow from feeling insecure and dreading math to feeling comfortable and confident. Although his grades weren’t poor, he has definitely improved in his test taking and grades.
The tutors are helpful and encouraging. Whereas we used to have nightly struggles as I’d try and coach him through HW, he looks forward to his time here and has appreciated the clear and encouraging coaching from the tutors.
This investment is money well spent!

Our fourth grader has been with the Sunnyvale Mathnasium for about 16 months now. Our experience has been great, and although it’s tough for a ¾ grader to get excited about tutoring, she bounces in with nary a fuss. She seems fully engaged while there. The tutors are all friendly and personable and keep her on task with a smile. Leena has been great at customizing lessons based on upcoming tests in the classroom. Previously, my daughter really struggled in class. Now, she has far more confidence and meets or exceeds the grade level expectations. Math no longer throws her for a loop, and she has specific strategies that she employs to solve specific problem sets. Both my daughter and I prefer the hands on, face to face tutoring over some other tutoring systems that emphasize a large volume of take home material (which the parent ends up policing and badgering the kid to do).

My son has been attending this particular Mathnasium Center for the last 2 years and has shown a heightened sense of Math awareness and confidence. Leena and her team of tutors are approachable, and relate to each student at their own skill level. He has gone from a D student to an A-​B student in math at 8^th Grade. I am glad I chose this particular center as not all centers offer the same level of coaching.

Our son’s school placed him in a math class below where we felt he belonged, and he lacked confidence in his abilities in math. A dad we know (who has a Phd in physics) recommended Mathnasium, and Russian Math seemed too strict, so we gave Mathnasium a try.
After a year of tutoring, our son has increased confidence, and best of all, he has moved up a level in math and is getting good grades. He likes the tutors there, and he’s cheerful when I pick him up after his session. We consider this money well spent.

We have finished a year with Mathnasium and are pleased with the outcome. My son is not an enthusiastic student but I believe his tutoring helped him grasp concepts. The thing I liked most about Mathnasium, with Leena’s direction, was their flexibility. I was able to make changes to his schedule as needed and was never denied. I have not had this with other tutoring services. Thank you Mathnasium and Leena for all your help

As an update to my first review, our daughter received her first perfect score in a math test, and is getting an A in Algebra Concepts for 8^th graders. There’s solid proof of how Mathnasium tutoring has helped her tremendously.

My daughters received excellent individualized curriculum based on in-​depth assessments, and received personalized on-​on-​one tutoring. As parents, we received excellent communication from staff, follow-​ups, assessments results, and nearly-​instant replies to our emails. Best off, it’s nice to hear 2 teenagers say they like going… especially when they aren’t especially academically inclined.

Completely a great experience, and Leena really knocked herself out to help my reluctant math student.
My son is very bright but is nowhere near having issues with excessive ambition. I worked hard with him prior to 5^th grade to get him competent in solving simple expressions with fractions. By the time school started, all this learning had somehow leaked out of his sneakers and disappeared, to my distress as well as his teacher’s.
Because of his math reluctance and poor retention, my son would have been starting 6^th grade with a significant disadvantage. His mother and I wanted to help him catch up using a teaching service. We researched Kumon and found that, although cheaper, the focus is on all subjects and not exclusively math, and that the procedure is to have pupils do huge stacks of worksheets with relatively little teacher supervision. This would not have been a good match for my son.
Leena’s Mathnasium is exactly not like Kumon in that the student-​teach ratio is about 1 to 1. She begins with a thorough evaluation of the student’s existing math capability, she customizes a training plan for the student, and she executes the plan. At the end of the program there is a no-​charge second evaluation, and what do you know? My son’s math skills had significantly improved.
Lastly, Leena did a pile of extra work researching math topics taught in my son’s new school district, and tried hard to motivate him and prepare him for his new school
Excellent work, Leena. I would recommend your service to a friend without hesitation.

I recently enrolled my daughter at this center. I have been very pleased with the education and attention she is getting there. Math is gradually becoming her favorite subject. The center Director Leena is very patient with kids and she knows how to get the most from them. She seems to know the curriculum very well and explains the process and progress very well to the parents. For every kid that needs the little extra boost in Math, this is a must try !! I am pretty sure you will not be disappointed.
