Joe's team at the Waterloo Centre has been wonderful to work with in advancing math comprehension and enrichment of my 7 year-old daughter. They focus on increasingly fun and challenging packages of questions and provide significant one-on-one counselling when she gets stuck. As well, this team provides quarterly and on demand reports and useful metrics on where my daughter stands in the curriculum and where they are focusing for comprehension. My daughter is now proudly studying math at the next grade level above her. Well done team!

We like the way the program adapts to needs of every individual student, allowing to target the areas that requiere more attention on every specific case! Thank you, my son and my daughter have achieved a big degree of confidence and understanding of mathematics at school making less stressful and more fun!

I have already (and frequently) referred Mathnasium to others, friends and family. Mathnasium, in addition to significantly improving my daughter's math skills, has changed her whole outlook on math education and school more generally. After 6 months of regular attendance at Mathnasium, she brought home a quiz from school on which she received a perfect grade - and she was so proud!!

Joe and the team at the Waterloo Mathnasium were fantastic. My daughter's math grade improved from 74% to 94% by the end of the semester. The best part was that she was no longer intimidated by complex math problems and would just take her time to work through them. I would highly recommend Mathnasium for anyone looking to improve their math abilities.

When my daughter started at Mathnasium she was failing math at school. She was so embarrassed and so far behind that she would cry in the car for the first couple of weeks every time I'd drive her to Mathnasium. But then, as she started to understand and improve her skills and confidence, things completely turned around.
After a few weeks she told me "Guess what mom? Math is my second favourite subject now, next to gym".
Without Mathnasium, Elsie would have continued to fall behind and continued to believe she was "bad" at math. This has opened the door to better learning, better understanding, and a love of math. It's made it possible for her to pursue any STEM subject in the future if she chooses to do so.
Joe, I can't give enough praise to you and your team. Thank you so much.
Warmest regards,
Tessa

My daughter has been going to Mathnasium Waterloo since October 2018. She has been working on a lot of topics that she had been struggling with since kindergarten. She is starting to make the connections and is improving at school. The additional support from Mathnasium has been instrumental in boosting her confidence with math.

Mathnasium has been an amazing experience for our son in Grade 11. He was literally failing math early in the year, and the turnaround has been nothing short of incredible since enrolling in mathnasium! He’s had several tests recently in the 80’s which is like wow! He really likes Joe and his ability to teach and provide guidance in a clear and relatable way, and his positive attitude. He actually likes going! It has turned not only his math credit around, but also has given him more confidence in himself and his abilities, and a more positive outlook. We’ll be enrolling him in Mathnasium next year for Grade 12. Thanks so much to Joe and the talented staff at Mathnasium Waterloo - keep up the awesome work!!!:-)

Joe at Mathnasium Waterloo is great! Really knows his stuff and goes the extra mile to help the student with whatever their needs are. I would definitely recommend Mathnasium to any student who is struggling even slightly with Math. The sooner you get on top of the math problems the easier it is to excel.

This was a great experience for my son. He did fine in math at school but not as well as he is capable of. He needed to build his confidence in his skills and also to learn to focus and read the questions properly to know what they were actually asking. The staff and the atmosphere made him feel comfortable to ask questions and not feel pressure. He was quite proud to show me what he had been working on when I came to pick him up. I think his time at mathnasium has definitely helped with confidence, we'll have to wait til school is back in to see how he transfers what he has learned. The only reason I don't rate mathnasium a 10 is because of the hours. Fridays and Saturdays are probably the best days for me to bring him because we aren't loaded down with other obligations but unfortunately they aren't open.

Hello. I'm Joe Ritsma, of Mathnasium of Waterloo, your neighbourhood math-only learning centre. We help kids in grades 2-12 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.
