My daughter lacked confidence in math throughout elementary school. She was good at it, but always questioned herself. I decided to have her start in grade 7 and she is now in high school. It has made a huge difference. She no longer lacks confidence and is now saying "this is so easy." Mathanasium has given her the tools to succeed in math. I definitely recommend them to anyone whose child struggles or wants to gain confidence in their abilities. Thanks so much!

Being a student at Mathnasium, I found that I was more comfortable with making mistakes and allowing them to be a part of my learning process. I took this opportunity to ask more questions and ensure that I understood the concepts I was struggling with. I greatly appreciated my tutor, Jey, as he helped me to take my time to understand the concepts I was learning and provided insights on how I can perform better in my current and future math classes.

With COVID there were significant gaps in what was taught in the math curriculum in Gr8 making the transition to high school difficult. After the mid term marks were provided I contacted Mathnasium to get the additional support needed. After a month I checked back in with the high school math teacher who noticed improved grades and improved participation in class.

My daughter lacked confidence in math throughout elementary school. She was good at it, but always questioned herself. I decided to have her start at Mathenasium this year (grade 8), and what a difference. She no longer lacks confidence and is now saying, "this is so easy." Mathenasium has given her the tools for success in math. I definitely recommend them to anyone whose child struggles or wants to gain confidence in their abilities. Thanks so much!

My daughter was always frustrated with math and never enjoyed or understood it in school. She was also falling behind due to school lockdowns. Going to Mathnasium gives her confidence, her marks are improving and she always tells us she enjoys going to Mathnasium and likes all her tutors. She has been working hard at math ever since.

My daughter has been attending Mathnasium for a few years and she has completely changed how she views math. She is enthusiastic and reflective of her results. She needed math to apply for Business in University, and lacked confidence. Her tutor and the Director/owner Horace supported her journey with care. They researched the content taught in the class curriculum and provided a platform to allow her to excel. High school math became enjoyable for her. I am so happy we chose Mathnasium. They care about the students and my daughter is a perfect example of how with the right approach and the right people, anything is possible!! Ciara is now an A student!!!! Thank you 🙏🏼

The team at Mathnasium are definitely the math experts! My son says they are very attentive & helpful, they work one on one with him & make sure he understands his homework & helps him complete his assignments on time. He has always struggled with math & I'm so glad we found Mathnasium because he would have failed without them, I just wished I started him sooner. The monthly cost was pretty reasonable & affordable compared to other places I inquired about, especially for 3x a week sessions at an hour long each. I plan on him returning there again next school year!

Mathnasium has helped my daughter a lot with her math. She is in gr 6 and she not only caught up with what she was missing, but now she feels more confident and feels that she knows more how to solve certain math problems than her peers in her class. There are times when she will say that the math class is so boring at school because the homework given is so easy.
Thank you Mathnasium!!

I have kids in grade 3 and grade 7 and math was the subject I am least capable of home schooling so during this pandemic I was concerned mainly about teaching my kids math.
Luckily, Mathnasium has a program called mathnasium@home where my kids have access to the instructors just like if they were at the Center. They have individual sessions three times a week and have been able to have help with their homework but also keep them working their personalized learning plans.
Mathnasium@home has given us piece of mind and helped us ensure our mental health is stable during this crazy time.

Sky and Hector are wonderful people. They go beyond expectations in trying to help the kids to learn. Mathnasium is the only place in town where kids can actually get help on the math they are actually learning at the time in school. Other places only stick to their strict schedule of curriculum, and will not help the kids to study for a test that they have in the coming week. Thank you!

Hello. I'm Horace McPherson, Owner of Mathnasium of Pickering, your neighbourhood math-only learning centre. We help kids in grades K-12 understand math by teaching the way that makes sense to them.
When math makes sense, kids leap way ahead – whether they started out far behind or already ahead in math. Our formula for teaching kids math, the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids learn math for over a decade across 1,000+ centres in the US and Canada:
Our specially trained math instructors will teach your child how to understand math in an individual setting – our unique approach enables us to effectively explain math concepts well and lend a helping hand to every student. Our tutors foster a caring, encouraging environment that helps kids thrive and learn!
Mathnasium instructors use our unique assessment process to determine (with great accuracy) exactly what each child knows and what they need to learn. Next, we design a customized learning plan for teaching the concepts the student needs to master. It doesn’t stop there – our encouraging instructors continually check progress along the way to make sure kids truly understand and retain the concepts we’ve taught. The results are transformative – kids will see measurable changes in attitude, confidence, and school progress.
Our instructors will also set aside time to provide homework help. We help kids understand the homework assignment so they feel better prepared to complete the work at home – underscoring their understanding of concepts and transforming homework frustration into a welcome challenge.
