Frequently Asked Questions

Contact your local Mathnasium Learning Center with any questions you may have about SOL tutoring. Here are some of the more common ones we get:

  • What is SOL?

    Standards of Learning (SOL) is a standardized test administered in the state of Virginia to assess students' proficiency in core academic subjects. These tests are designed to ensure that students meet the educational standards set by the state and are prepared for future academic challenges.

    The SOL assesses:

    • Reading: Grades 3-11
    • Mathematics: Grades 3-11
    • Science: Grades 5, 8-11
    • History/Social Science: Grades 4, 8-11
    • Writing: Grades 8, 11
  • When do students take the SOL math test?

    Students typically take the SOL math test in the spring.

  • How do SOL scores affect students in Virginia?

    SOL test scores assess students' mastery of core subjects. In Virginia, SOL scores, including those in math, can impact students':

    • School Grades and Transfers: Scores impact school report card grades and can influence students' ability to transfer schools.
    • Promotion and Support: They determine if students meet grade-level standards, affecting promotion to the next grade and identifying the students who need additional support.
    • Individual Progress: Detailed reports provide parents and educators with insights into each student's academic strengths and areas for improvement.
  • Does Mathnasium tutor students for SOL science sessions?

    No, Mathnasium is a math-only learning center. Our tutors prepare students for a variety of K-12 math classes and tests, including the SOL.

  • How does Mathnasium prepare students for SOL math?

    Mathnasium’s SOL math tutoring focuses on the math concepts students will encounter on the exam.

    Using our proprietary teaching approach, the Mathnasium Method™, our specially trained tutors follow personalized learning plans to address each student's knowledge gaps and guide them in developing solid foundations for math mastery.

    We employ proven teaching techniques to help students enhance their critical thinking and problem-solving skills and build the confidence they need to excel on the SOL math exam.

  • What teaching method does Mathnasium use to help students prepare for the SOL?

    Mathnasium’s SOL math tutors employ the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach designed to help students truly understand and enjoy math. The Mathnasium Method™ fosters math mastery by:

    • Using Personalized Learning Plans: Using assessment-based insights, we create personalized learning plans that will put each student on the best path to math mastery.
    • Building on Existing Knowledge: Guided by the personalized learning plan, our tutors start with what the student already knows to help them bridge their knowledge gaps and develop solid foundations for math mastery. Adding new concepts in sequence, we work with students to increase their knowledge level by level while enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
    • Teaching for Understanding: We teach math in a way that makes sense to the student, employing a range of mental, visual, verbal, tactile, and written techniques to help them master any math concept.
  • What is the difference between Mathnasium’s in-center and online SOL math tutoring?

    There is no difference between our in-center and online SOL math tutoring. Our live, face-to-face online sessions are even led by the same tutors you would meet at your closest Mathnasium Learning Center.

  • What kind of assessment is necessary to enroll at Mathnasium?

    To enroll at Mathnasium, students take part in a diagnostic assessment which allows us to identify their math knowledge gaps and strengths.

    We use the assessment-based insights to create a personalized learning plan that will put your student on the best path towards achieving their academic goals.

  • How often should my student attend math sessions to prepare for the SOL?

    Typically, we recommend 2 to 3 math tutoring sessions per week. However, our tutors may suggest a different frequency of sessions based on each student’s specific goals and needs.

    We advise starting the SOL math tutoring early to allow the student enough time to learn and master the math concepts they'll face on the test.

  • How can I enroll my student for math tutoring at Mathnasium?

    Enrolling your student at Mathnasium is as easy as one-two-three:

    1. Find a location. Reach out to your nearest learning center, even if your student will be learning online.
    2. Schedule an assessment. Our diagnostic skills assessment helps us create a customized learning plan for your student.
    3. Book your sessions. Your local Center Director can guide you and your student in setting up a tutoring schedule.
