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.

My son does not freak out when he sees math. He loves the easy approach to tackle math problems. He also loves the positive reinforcement he gets from the tutors.
Thank you Mathnasium!

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!!!:-)

My son actually enjoys going to math. For him, he enjoys the flexibility of driving what he works on each session without someone always watching over his shoulder. I love how this builds ownership and independence in him.
The staff are also positive and encouraging.

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.

We have had a great experience with Joe and all his staff. Always friendly and patient and knows my sons name when he walk in. We have noticed a big improvement in math on his report card as well as his confidence at school.

-Love the fact that kids are taught math using simple techniques that we as parents will never be able to.
- There is no homework from Mathnasium
- you can go as many times as you want for the monthly fees that’s paid

My son usually hates doing any kind of math work at home but when we enrolled him in Mathnasium, he loved going there and doing math everyday. It was a huge milestone for us. We never expected such a change to happen in a short time. Joe is wonderful with kids.
Keep up the great work.

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.

We have had a wonderful experience at mathnasium . Our daughters confidence improved greatly, as did her attitude toward math. Her grades even improved the first month!

I am really impressed with the rapport that Joe, the owner, has with each kid. Once I get my son there, I never hear any complaints which is saying a lot. He is finally starting to work independently but I can see the staff are good about knowing to check in with him.

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 800+ 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.
