My daughter was struggling with math at school because she wasn't being challenged enough. Since we joined Mathnasium, her math skills have improved significantly, and she now enjoys learning. She loves going to the center, especially compared to staying at home and playing on the iPad. The staff is incredibly friendly and supportive, and they’ve provided her with the help she needs to tackle her math challenges. We are so grateful for the positive impact Mathnasium has had on her confidence and progress!

My son has been studying math in there half year. In his age, I didn’t look for big improvements. I just hope he can build up his math foundation. Luckily , the mathematic centre gave my son enough patience for building up my son’s confidence. That’s all I want in this age stage.

Mathnasium has helped my son get on track in Physics 11 and prepare for Pre-Calc 11 coming up next semester. I like the format where he has a tailored program of work that builds his math capabilities, but he can also bring in his homework to get help with that. And working on his own, but with tutors in the room and available as he needs them, is the perfect set-up for him.

I really like that they are very flexible and easy to make an appointment. All teachers are very professional, helpful and fun in the center my son goes (Coquitlam, BC). The Center Director, Anoma is great to communicate and give us update all the time. My son used to go to different leaning center and did not like and hated to go, but he never complain to go and actually he mentioned this helps for him and likes to go.

My son enjoys the method and he is more confident with the Math. The concern is the cost. I’m sure if more affordable, so many kids will join the program. The other concern is lack of discount for siblings. I like to register my daughter but it would be a stretch.

My 9 year old daughter started Mathnesium 4 months ago and her progress is amazing. From a child who did not like math and was stressed about her homework she has now developed confidence in tackling math problems . Also, the staff is attentive and very friendly, and my daughter actually enjoy going. I am extremely happy to have found such a great place for our daughter. I really recommend this location. Thank you for creating such an amazing experience for us.

My experience with Mathnasium has been great! My daughter is enjoying doing Math now and her confidence level with the subject has grown. Her grades in Math have gone up. The teachers are patient and motivating. The centre is flexible with scheduling and the centre director is very responsive and accommodating of any requests. My daughter takes both in centre and at home classes (when needed) and it has been smooth always.

My daughter has been going to mathnesium for 6 years now and we have seen a considerable difference. she is more confident and math does not stress her out. The staff at Coquitlam mathensium are amazing and they assist with her. Anoma sends a progress report every month and makes sure I see her once every two or three months to discuss my daughter's progress.

I've noticed an amazing and positive change in my kid's Math study. Since my kid joined Math at Coquitlam a year ago, he's grown quite a bit in his Math skills and good study habit. The tutors here are very patient with young kids and professional and knowledgable in teaching. My kid feels sad to leave the centre and teachers here because of our relocation to a different city, but in the meantime, he is aslo glad to learn a lot over the past year. I hope the other kid we referred can benefit equally as my kid did. Mathnasium is a truely go-to place for my kid's Math study.

My son has been attending Mathnasium Coquitlam since grade 2, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible impact it has had on his mathematical skills and overall academic growth. Over the years, Mathnasium has proven to be a nurturing and stimulating environment where my son's confidence in math has flourished.
From the moment we walked into Mathnasium Coquitlam, we were greeted by a team of dedicated and knowledgeable instructors who genuinely care about their students' success. The center's warm and inviting atmosphere creates an ideal setting for learning, and my son always feels comfortable asking questions and seeking assistance when needed.
One of the most significant advantages of Mathnasium Coquitlam is its individualized approach to teaching. Each student is given a customized learning plan tailored to their specific strengths and areas of improvement. This personalized attention ensures that my son is constantly challenged and engaged at a level that is suitable for his abilities. By building a strong foundation and addressing any knowledge gaps, Mathnasium has enabled my son to excel in math and progress beyond his grade level.
The Mathnasium curriculum is comprehensive and covers all essential mathematical concepts. The lessons are delivered in a clear and structured manner, making complex topics easier to grasp. The use of various teaching tools, including manipulatives, visual aids, and interactive activities, keeps the learning experience enjoyable and interactive. Furthermore, the instructors encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills, fostering a deeper understanding of mathematical principles rather than just rote memorization.
Mathnasium Coquitlam not only focuses on academic development but also places great importance on building mathematical confidence. Through continuous positive reinforcement and celebrating small victories, my son has grown to embrace challenges and approach math with a positive mindset. This newfound confidence has extended beyond the math class and has positively impacted his overall academic performance.
The flexibility of Mathnasium Coquitlam is another aspect worth highlighting. The center offers flexible scheduling, allowing us to select the days and times that suit our family's needs. This flexibility has been a tremendous help, especially during busy school periods and extracurricular activities.
As a parent, I have been kept well-informed about my son's progress through regular progress reports and constructive feedback from the instructors. The staff at Mathnasium Coquitlam are always approachable and readily available to address any concerns or provide updates on my son's development.
In conclusion, Mathnasium Coquitlam has been an invaluable resource for my son's mathematical growth. With its personalized approach, engaging curriculum, and supportive instructors, Mathnasium has transformed math from a daunting subject into an enjoyable and rewarding experience. My son's journey at Mathnasium has not only enhanced his math skills but also instilled a lifelong love for learning. I wholeheartedly recommend Mathnasium Coquitlam to any parent seeking to empower their child's mathematical potential.

Mathnasium has made an incredible difference with our child since they first started coming. There were mental blocks with math were so severe we were worried it could be dyscalculia (which separate testing confirmed it was not). There were several tear-filled nights at home as with struggles to understand concepts the class was covering. It turns out, because of ADHD, there had been little bits and pieces missed over the years which added up to make math really tough. However, after Mathnasium, we're in such a different place with math now. For example, when algebra was introduced at school, it was easily mastered. Other concepts have since been tackled with confidence too. Our child even mentioned math was now a favourite block at school! Incredible difference in a few short months.

The staff are amazing, accommodating and fun. My son, who is not a math lover, never complains about going and always comes out a little more comfortable. He also started improving his math grades in school, but more importantly is increasing his confidence with math. Really happy we gave this a go!

Our child started attending Mathnasium in September and already in February we’ve seen great improvements in their knowledge and confidence levels. Homework that would have been an emotional event last school year is now completed with ease without a single tear or argument.
Math is still not their favourite subject, but they understand it better now and Mathnasium is helping get them up to their grade level.

My child started in October at the Coquitlam location, and since then he gradually became more interested in the Math subject. He kept telling us he learned a lot more at Mathnasium than at school. One outstanding about Mathnasium is that the tutors here give students immediate attention and one-on-one care if students have questions. More, students can finish all their work during the class so they feel happy by not bringing any homework back home. One hour time is also the right time span to get a young child fully focused. I will recommend this place to other parents.

This is a great learning place for kids all ages. It's not only the place to learn, but also to have fun while they are learning. My kid loves it!

The child has been studying here for half a year, and his interest in mathematics learning has been greatly stimulated. He is looking forward to going to the mathematics classroom every day, and will remind me to make an appointment for him the day before. It can be seen that he wants to learn mathematics on his own. Progress is of course. As a parent, in addition to seeing the children's love for this math school, I also saw that the principals and teachers here are very kind and professional. We were lucky to find this math learning center. Thanks to the teachers here. Highly recommended for kids who want to learn math.

It has been a great learning leap for my son who has been with Mathnasium from the past 3 years. The teachers are very knowledgeable and friendly to the students. They teach Math in a more fun and stress free way, thereby building and bringing in the real interest of Math in the students.
I personally like the online classes as well, which gives us the flexibility and not miss the classes when we won't be able to drop him in person.

We used to have math classes for my son with another well-known training center, but the speed of the improvement did not match the time we were spending there. But from the time we switched to Mathnasium, I can clearly see that my son is getting confident in math quickly. I also noticed the improvement when we receive positive comments from his school teacher.
At Mathnasium, they also keep track of the student's learning path in a measurable manner, so you can see how they're doing, what subjects are already covered, and what direction they're going.
We're very pleased with this and decided to register my other son here too.
