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.

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.

My son and daughter both attend Mathnasium and have both expressed how helpful it has been. They have started the new semester with more confidence in their abilities and a good understanding of the areas they are working on. I personally have found Joe to be very accommodating and helpful. Over all it has been a very good experience.

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.

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.
