I had her class today and it was great, then I read her 1 bad review from Ted A. and had to…read morerespond: Information sticks in people's heads when the information is embedded in example stories. Stories from the instructor and from the experiences of the students. It's up to the student's if they want to share their experiences, it's not forced. Many students have worked a childcare profession for years and need to renew every 2 years. Which means they have stories of emergencies that happen to them and they can relate to the serious lessons being taught. I am sorry Ted A. with the one star review doesn't normally learn through conversation and other's experiences. It sounds like Ted wanted a straight forward list and then to leave. That's my guess. But, for me it was a 2.5 hour class and it was all encompassing. She covered all the material and she had added advice and stories to back up her lessons. For example, I needed my CPR cert because I am applying to be a Nanny. Since she asked me what job I needed the CPR cert for, she was able to give me advice about knowing for sure what addresses I am at in case I need to call 911, because she knows as a Nanny, I won't always be stationary. I am grateful she brought that to my attention and would recommend her class to anyone needing their CPR cert. She has a great attitude and is highly knowledgeable. Will probably go back in 2 years.

The main issue with the training was that while the instructor is friendly, the training consisted…read moreof too many intrusive personal questions, random unrelated stories and unsolicited advice. I found this distracting and did not feel comfortable being interviewed about my life as part of the training. A very small portion of the time was the actual training. I would not recommend this company.

The instructors are really nice, and helpful, and they help answer your questions! My math grade turned from a B+ to A after I came here! Thank you Mathnasium! Also, I go to the Sammamish location but I couldn't find it on yelp, for some weird reason.

I was looking for a program for students that don't struggle in math, but needed an extra…read morechallenge. My 3rd grader finished all of the 3rd grade math curriculum and her teacher was struggling to supplement her learning (and she really, really tried- her teacher was awesome! I don't want anyone to think otherwise! I think she is the reason my child got through it so fast!) I really did not want my 8 year old to not learn more math for 6 months! That would be like 6 months of not reading. Most of the other programs I checked out were for students who needed help in math to bring them up to standard. Mathnasium was the only program I found to help a students that loved math and needed more! My daughter loves, loves, loves it! And I feel a lot better knowing that my kiddo is getting new curriculum and not just being bored!
