FAQ

Mathnasium of West Linn FAQs

• Why do you require an assessment for enrollment?

  Each student is given a diagnostic assessment that pinpoints their strengths, knowledge gaps, and unique goals, so that we can create a personalized learning plan that will put them on the best path to math mastery.

• Will you help my student with their homework, quiz, or test?

  Our schoolwork policy is individually tailored to each student, and the first step in determining this is through our free assessment. We pride ourselves in helping students find independent success in math by addressing the root cause of *why* schoolwork is an issue: weak fundamental skills. If we find that a student has gaps in their knowledge, we make rebuilding these skills a priority. When a student's math foundations are strengthened to the point where they can grasp the concepts taught in their math class, only then do we allow students to work on schoolwork for a portion of their Mathnasium sessions.
  
  If we provide help on schoolwork prematurely, it would create a sense of dependence, not independence, within a student. Nor would it help them find confidence in math. Not a winning strategy!
  
  Our Mathnasium Method has proven successful with thousands of students over the 10+ years we've served our communities. We'd love to help your student achieve "Confidence in Math, Confidence in Life!". Click the button above to book your free assessment today!

• Do you work with advanced students or only the ones struggling with math?

  We empower students of all skill levels to excel in math, whether they are looking to catch up, keep up, or get ahead on their math journey.
  
  We work with advanced students to expand their math skills and help them achieve their greatest potential. At Mathnasium, advanced students can explore the topics beyond their school’s math curriculum and receive personalized support to achieve their unique academic goals.
  
  If a student is struggling or simply looking to keep up in their math class, Mathnasium will build upon what they already know, addressing their learning gaps and teaching math in a way that makes sense to them.

• What does Mathnasium cost?

  Mathnasium provides premium value by combining a superior learning experience with an efficient structure that keeps costs low. There is a flat enrollment fee for our program, and students attend regularly—much like a gym membership. We recommend that they attend Mathnasium 2-3 times per week as attending less frequently will slow results and attending too often could lead to student burnout. Pricing varies by program and geographic area. Contact our center for more details on enrollment packages.

• How do you teach math? What method or curriculum do you use?

  We use the Mathnasium Method™, a proprietary teaching approach which combines personalized learning plans with proven techniques to build math knowledge upon what students already know, so they're able to retain what they learn and gain confidence along the way.

• Do you give homework to students?

  No. All learning occurs under the efficient and effective guidance of our trained instructors. Adding homework would risk frustration and overload.
