Mathnasium’s mission is to make math make sense to kids and, in so doing, build their confidence and a deep understanding and lifelong love of mathematics. Our learning centers throughout Virginia provide tutoring from 1st grade through 12th grade. We believe that our method will increase a child's math competency and therefore, improve their lives by opening the doors to higher education, greater career opportunities, and a better future. It is in that sense that we aim to change the world...one child at a time. Our teaching method, the Mathnasium Method™, is the life’s work of Larry Martinek, Mathnasium’s Chief Instructional Officer and a teacher and math teaching consultant in the Los Angeles area for more than 35 years. The Mathnasium Method™ uses a time-tested, customized program which stems from a unique assessment to identify what students need to improve their math skills. We offer personalized instruction, proprietary worksheets, and games to build Number Sense and provide a fun and supportive environment in which children can learn and practice math.
