Our daughter is happy in Mathenesium and loves to go there, that is big for us because we want her to love math and understand it, it’s not about the grades, it’s about finding joy in something most people hate (numbers). Joe and his team are great and the prizes they offer for achieving results motivate kids a lot!

Mathnasium has been a great place for my teenage son. They are great people that approach math in a way that suits the students' way of learning. He can work with any of the tutors or only one. I recommend Mathnasium regularly to anyone I know who is looking for supports for their child's learning in math.

Mathnasium is a well developed Math learning center, not only for the kids who are struggling to learn the subject, but also for the kids who are very good in Math, Mathnasium can help them to reach their destination. Joe Ritsma and all of his teachers are very caring and try their best to help the students. They listen with great patience, all the students to guide them what is best for them. My son, who did not want to do practice Math, although he liked Math, after joining at Mathnasium, he is now practicing a lot and obviously his grades are changing.
I am very grateful to the Mathnasium team.

This has been an amazing experience for my child. She enjoyed going and learning. Although we are currently on a pause to accommodate new courses this semester, we will be going back in June to get ready for the fall semester. I highly recommend Mathnasium to anyone looking for either a tweak to get ready for a new year, or for a child who is struggling with math. Well worth every penny!

Joe and the entire staff have been great ! My teen moved to quad semesters during COVID which has resulted in 8 months of no math between grades. My youngest struggled during online . Mathnasium has allowed them to work at their own pace while keeping up with their math skills . We have been very grateful to have the services of Mathnasium in our community . Thanks Joe and team!

My son loves the way he gets attention and support by the tutors at the centre, especially by Joe. the feels safe and confident to do the assigned tasks . The reward system is very much much motivating. This is the only academic space which he ever felt like going back again and again. I am seeing a sea of changes in his interest in Math.

Joe and his team in Waterloo have been so supportive and helpful over the last 3 years. Joe readily becomes part of a team to support our son who is in Grade 12. He works with us as parents and the classroom teacher to help fill in gaps, reinforce concepts and provide overall mental support going into math tests. We have seen our son's confidence grow with this approach.

Prior to registering , we spoke with Joe who clearly articulated the program along with expectations . I like how the program is tailored to each child’s specific needs ! We would recommend Mathnasium especially to supplement current school work . I feel with the pandemic , my children have benefited from a bit of extra focus on math .

I like that my daughters are both engaged and learning and are doing so independently. I would like to hear more about how they are doing and progressing towards the goals that were set when we first signed up. I would also like to be given a description of how they are moving along along the continuum and begin any ideas of when they may be assessed again.

We have been with Mathnasium for a year now and my son went from 2 grades below average to being on par with students his age! Math is now his strong suit which is phenomenal. Joe and the other instructors are very good with online learning and with keeping him focused. We recommended this centre so much our niece now goes as well! This centre is 100% worth every penny and we're so happy we chose to come here. Thanks so much to Joe and his team for all of their help and expertise.

I recommend this Mathnasium Center to everyone that tells me that they have a child who needs math support. Three of my children have gone to this center and they have loved it and have made a lot of progress. The center is well-organized and they communicate well with families.
This Waterloo Center has instructors who genuinely care about their students and their success in math and beyond. Kudos to Joe and the team. They know how to keep the kids engaged and interested in math.

Mathnasium has helped both my kids after struggling to get though math. Very accommodating for setting up payments to a different schedule. My son was struggling with math even after the teacher explained how to do things. Mathnasium made things click for him to understand and apply to get better grades. Definitely a confidence booster. Thanks Waterloo Mathnasium!! :)

My daughter has never been a big fan of math! However she absolutely loves going to Mathnasium in Waterloo! The staff is so nice and patient with everyone and she feels that finally everything is making sense and has gained confidence due to being part of mathnasium. I would highly recommend this program to children who have struggled with math.

We really liked the in class instruction unfortunately the onsite instruction had to cease due to Covid.
We opted not to do the online as my daughter struggles with online learning and I didn’t want her to get frustrated and have a negative feeling towards math.
Hoepfully on-site instruction will resume when deemed safe.

We have has great experience with Mathansium. Joe and the rest of the staff have been really helpful and addressed all our concerns. Unfortunately with the pandemic only online classes are being offered at this time and it is not a fit for our son. I would definitely send him back once things open up again.

This program has been such an amazing experience for our son. Joe has tailored the program to fit my son's needs and we've already noticed a big improvement in not only his math, but his reading comprehension as well.
I truly hope that we can continue the program remotely even when the office is back open, as we are moving and will not be by the physical office as much.
Thank you so much for your program, patience and help. I'm so glad we chose this platform for Emmett's tutoring.

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!!

As a precaution to ensure solid understanding of the Ontario math curriculum given the declining math grades in the province, we enrolled our daughter in Mathnasium. Not only does she grasp the content well, she is accelerating in math and is both enthusiastic and excited by math and attending Mathnasium. I highly recommend Mathnasium for both enhancing the math curriculum and ensuring it's retention.

Good Afternoon Everyone, In order to ensure the health and safety of our community, ...
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.
