She took the time to explain both of us the meaning and the implication of his scores and designed a personalized coaching program for him, taking into account my son's individual abilities, and was flexible enough to adapt to our complicated schedules. She recommended that he should take the ACT instead. To make a long story short my son improved his percentiles in the ACT test, jumping BIG from being in the 50% of the SAT to the top 1% of the ACT. I was not expecting that king of improvement. It also boosted his confidence and I am sure it will help him during college. An static parent from RM

Beware of taking this or any course that attempts to group a disparate group of SAT learners in the…read moresame room without taking into consideration their varying levels of competence. My daughter found the course to move too fast on some areas that she had difficulty and too slow in others where she found she was wasting her time. The math teacher was not a native English speaker, and she found him to be very difficult to follow. He also lacked charisma for engaging kids on what are quite dry topics to begin with. Absolutely zero one on one time at this school. Also, there was no feedback or diagnostics from the teachers regarding tests. That is to say the course did not react to problem areas on practice tests, specifically targeting my daughter in the areas that she needed. It was basically a general study program for all, regardless of your score or weaker areas. Most definitely not worth the money. If you are already going to pay that amount, better to get a focused tutor to help on your pitfalls.

This Mathnasium in White Flint (N. Bethesda) is more expensive (by $25) than the one in Rockville,…read moreprovides 1.5 hours 1x a week vs. 1 hour 2x a week than the one in White Flint. As far as I can tell, you cannot reserve appt times in advance, you simply show up. I did not get an answer on what happens when too many kids show up on the same day... While the one in Rockville operates by a rule base system (which can be frustrating at times), there doesn't appear to be set rules for the Mathnasium in White Flint that they are willing to share with you prior to signing up and actually looking at the contract (I did not get to that point). The main problem I had with this particular location is that they insist on talking with you over the telephone, and don't like to answer questions via email. They are extremely private about sharing the details of their organization and how they run it and they were extremely reluctant to provide details of their organization in writing. I got the suspicion, although I have no way to prove or deny it, that they run by an exception system where if the owners like you, you can get what you need, but if they don't, you easily lose sessions you paid for. It would be awesome if someone who attends this Mathnasium would provide details of the organization so people could make an informed decision.
