As a family, we’ve been incredibly impressed by the Mathnasium teaching system and the entire team at North Oxford. Our children were struggling with maths and losing enthusiasm for the subject last year. But after just six months of regular attendance, their attitude has been completely transformed — and their confidence and ability are now really starting to shine. Much of Mathnasium’s success seems to lie in making the sessions both fun and engaging, while still carefully identifying and targeting each student’s weak spots.

From the moment we enrolled, they demonstrated a keen interest in understanding my child's specific needs and learning style. They conducted a thorough assessment to identify areas of strength and those requiring improvement, which was reassuring as it showed remarkable progress in my daughter’s exam.

The effort that Ping and her team put in is obvious, everything operates very smoothly from the clients perspective.
My daughter really enjoys her time at Mathnasium. It feels more like a fun club to her than anything else and I credit this down to the positive, friendly atmosphere that Ping and her team create
Keep up the great work team!
Kind regards
David

Our daughter struggled with her confidence and understanding around how to think of different ways to solve Maths problems. Mathnasium quickly identified the level she should start at to rebuild her confidence and then built a programme to suit her needs. She has loved Mathnasium and I feel it’s nurturing and reward based culture really brought out the best in her.

The Maths support my son has had at Mathnesium was fantastic. In primary school, he always struggled with maths and therefore he started to hate it. After a few years at Mathnesium, maths is absolutely his favourite subject and he is constantly performing above 90% in his maths assessments in secondary school.

My ten year old joined Mathnasium in September 21 and has in-centre sessions three times a week (3hrs total). In all the time she has been a member, I have never once heard her complain about going in. Her tutors get the very best out of each session by making it super fun and rewarding. Thanks to their help, my daughter has already begun to build a strong foundation in maths which has been reflected in her end of term report at school. A big thanks to Ping and her team and a special shout out to Alan!

All 3 of my children enjoyed Mathnasium very much. The staff were always encouraging and supportive and it really helped them improve their maths skills and confidence. It also helped them keep learning and progressing with their maths at a time when they were being provided with very little by their state school, during lockdown. All 3 of them passed entrance exams to highly selective schools after their time at Mathnasium. In fact, my son's new school told me he had come top in his intake in maths.

My daughter has attended Mathnasium for the past 12 months. What a blessing we had this throughout lockdown 1 and 2. It gave her structure and a regular maths rhythm which was essential as she was falling behind in her maths at school. The curriculum was just going to fast for her. But at Mathnasium she was able to take her time and slowly and bit by bit she has caught up and is so much more CONFIDENT about maths. She even loves it now. She has gone from 'I hate maths' to 'I love maths' and it's amazing. Ping is so kind and patient and brilliant at motivating the children. All the instructors are great and very engaging. So are the worksheets and the rewards Ping uses. I wish I could have gone to Mathnasium when I was a kid! My daughter is about to change schools and is so happy, calm and looking forward to the change. She really enjoys school now and I think of it has to do with Mathnasium. Being better at maths gave her confident across the board and showed her if she can put the work in she can get better at things. Some weeks it was hard to motivate her to go to Mathnasium but usually 9 of out 10 times she wanted to do. We are so lucky we joined Mathnasium.

Both girls have really benefited from their time at Mathsnasium. It has helped them to get into the schools of their choice and to stay ahead in Maths in their classes at school. It has given them confidence in their abilities and hence they enjoy it and look forward to new challenges. Mathsnasium has helped them enjoy their learning, achieve their goals and prepare for their next goals in a positive way, who can ask for more than that.

It is absolutely amazing how quickly you have set this up. It is perfect. My son concentrates, enjoys mathnasium@home and he learns so much. I hope we will be able to use it even after the crisis is over. It saves commuting time, it is incredibly interactive and guides us through our learning journey. Thank you!!!

I felt that the programme was very good and shows how the progress is being tackled by firstly having careful tests, them matching a teaching programme. The tutors are great and kind. The environment is friendly and professional and engaging. My son Arthur gained the confidence and the feedback reports made me as a parent feel happy that my son was covering key and ground rules comprehensively.

Mathnasium follows a logical system for developing mathematical knowledge and skills. Working from foundation skills outward, through levels of increasing complexity, the young learner is given the support and training experience necessary in order to fully master all skills involved at each level, which is then confirmed by tests before moving outward to the next level. Just as in the concept of a gynmnasium, Mathnasium follows the idea that you become able and confident in mathematics by working through relevant problem examples until you have mastered them. Regular practice in each week is recommended. In such a way the learner is able to develop quickly based on secure knowledge, understanding, and practice. Maths becomes an essential skill which is seen as an enjoyable, rewarding activity. Gone is the idea that one is not good at maths or that maths is too difficult. Arguably, such problems arise from an inadequate method of teaching and training maths in general education. Mathnasium has been great for our son who continues to enjoy going three times a week for an hour each, fitting it happily into a busy schedule. Having missed a year of maths by sojourn abroad, Mathnasium has allowed him to quickly catch up, consolidate on required skills, and now he's starting to move on eagerly and proudly ahead. A great program! Thank you

Mathnasium has helped my son enormously over the past 6 months. His confidence in his ability to do maths was very low when her started attending sessions and he was falling behind at school. Since starting the Mathnasium programme, I have seen a complete change in his attitude towards maths. Thanks to the patient and helpful tutoring, he now really enjoys the subject. He has caught up at school and recently sat his SATs without any trouble at all.
Thank you!

My daughter really enjoys attending Mathnasium and happily goes several times a week. The flexible attendance (being able to drop in at any time it is open) really fits well with her other after school activities. After 3 months we can already see a real improvement in her attitude and confidence in maths. She seems much more willing and able to complete her maths homework and now just gets on with it, rather than putting it off. We feel confident that we will also see results in terms of academic achievement as time goes on.
