Mathnasium Of Mountain View-Los Altos

I can’t say enough good things about this place — it’s super well-​run, the tutors are all excellent and most importantly, my kids are learning. We’ve been enrolled for over one year, come religiously twice a week, and my kids still love coming here. The staff knows how to motivate kids and keep learning fun. When kids feel happy, passionate and energized about learning, it makes a big difference and Kobad and his team of talented tutors have cracked the code in doing this.
I have 2 different types of learners, and Mathnasium knows how to cater to each child’s individualized needs. I have one child who has always been super strong at math, understands concepts quickly and retains information well. Through the efforts of Mathnasium as well as our own support at home, this student is now in the accelerated math program at school. My other student is a little less diligent, often makes careless errors and is more of an average math student. However, he is now in the top math group too for his grade.
Kids may do their math homework here and the tutors will help them, but I don’t usually have my kids do this unless they are feeling overwhelmed with the amount of schoolwork they have that day. Usually, I want to spend our time there learning Mathnasium’s curriculum to make sure kids are getting incremental learning opportunities in addition to their school’s content. While my kids go to an excellent school, I feel math in CA feels a little behind compared to other states (esp east coast states) and certainly behind that of many other countries. Mathnasium gives me peace of mind that my kids are being appropriately challenged. My parent philosophy on Math is that just like anything else, the more practice and exposure you have, the better you become.
Overall, I am very happy esp because the kids never complain and are very happy to go twice a week. They have made friendships with the tutors and speak about their Mathnasium «friends» often at home. We highly recommend this center.

Update: So after 4 months here I couldn’t be happier! My son (4^th grade) still LOVES coming here and is doing VERY well in Math. Also, they have bent over backwards to accommodate our crazy schedule and work with us after we moved up the Peninsula. The owner is super nice and ALL the tutors my son has worked with have been great and really patient. I would recommend this Mathnasium wholeheartedly!
