My daughter came in for an assessment. She is in 9th grade and has very bad anxiety. She called me crying that she was going to fast. I went in and the owner came and sat down and said, "I can't help her, she doesn't want to learn". If your child is nervous about math and struggling. Don't even try here. This is for kids without any learning issues. This only made her feel worse. read more

So far so good, Lily showed compassion towards my 3 kids and within a month there much more progress. The kids feel good about themselves and math skills improving. Lily is very good at understanding what the kids need to learn read more

The director Lily is very difficult to deal with, our son was attending this location and was failing Math. When we attempted to discuss a game plan with Lily about helping my son succeed, she was very aggressive and started making excuses. She was more concerned with her feelings then ours. She does not care about the kids or parents. When I asked if my son could receive extra help with his homework instead of working on her plan, she messaged me and said my son is not fit for her program. She is unprofessional and told my son, "I can't keep everyone happy". Why would you tell a child that??? read more

I'd like to share our experience with Lily and her program. Approximately four years ago, we started taking our son to her for sessions. He was dedicated and never missed a session. However, when we received his school grades last year, we noticed that he was only failing math. We requested a meeting with Lily to discuss how we could improve his grades, but she was uncooperative and instead of offering a solution, she pointed fingers at others, including her staff and my son. It was clear that she only cared about the money and not the education of our child. Dealing with Lily was extremely challenging and she does not deserve to work with children. Despite our efforts, my son's math grades did not improve and when I tried to discuss it with Lily again, she responded by saying that the program wasn't suitable for him and she removed him from it instead of finding a solution to help him. read more

After researching the best math tutoring for my 7yo, I went to 4 Kumon orientations and even bored myself. I couldn't understand why everyone was so in love w Kumon; plus my child kept napping thru it. She was basically uninterested in Kumon and I had no desire to struggle w daily repetitive worksheets and no real explanations. So I thought outside the box, and went to Mathnasium. It was not a gimmick. Lily and her plan of action at Mathnasium is the REAL DEAL! And this is what and why I love Mathnasium: You walk in and see tables of small groups different ages of students, headed by an active tutor engaged w your child, offering math logic that they can understand. My shy child has found her terms to independently think and ask questions. She feels accepted and supported. With the different ages and skill levels of students actively working w 1 tutor, the kids are exposed to what they can expect and future math, making it less intimidating. They're not memorizing or hitting repeat, they are actually learning more and getting prepared for future coursework. Lily is at the helm and seems strict, but when you peel her layers and you see her in action - she is beyond sweet, warm and lovely to the kids. She's that balance of stern and loving; she's invested in your kid. So step away for a breather and watch your child walk out in an hour more confident in their math skills. Yesterday my kid was in tears afterschool, because she was disappointed that she didn't do so well in her in-class math test review. Luckily, we had her Mathnasium tutor session that same afternoon and Lily sensed the tears and my apprehensive look - took control and talked to the individual instructor of how my lil girl could attack the problems. And it worked. My daughter wrote in her daily gratitude journal what she was thankful for yesterday...she listed her math instructor's help. My smile grew larger as my girl walked into class today saying to me "don't worry mommy - I got this". Whaaaat? That really did happen. Thank you Lily and Mathnasium...looking forward to the years of growth & learning together! read more

We continue to be very grateful to Lily and the entire team at Burbank Mathnasium for their long-term guidance. Lily has been a fixture in our son's life since he was in elementary school; now he is a high school junior taking AP Calculus and preparing for the SAT and ACT. Thanks to the individualized, consistent, ongoing support and instruction he has continued to receive at Mathnasium over the years, he's maintained straight A's in all math classes, scored a "9" on the math achievement ISEE and the top math score on the PSAT. Most importantly, he enjoys math and feels confident about his math abilities. I would also like to add that Lily has been very accommodating with our many tricky schedule change requests (swim meets, summer camp, etc.) Thank you, Lily and Mathnasium - we appreciate you! read more

My 9 year old daughter was struggling in math this year. She's in 4th grade and although I enjoy teaching her, I can be pretty tough and aggressive. I didn't feel this was fair to her and didn't want to put any pressure on her, so I decided to try tutoring. She's been going since November and enjoys her sessions greatly. As a matter of fact, she's doing so much better in math and even got a 100% on her math test last week! Thank you Lily and team for being there! We appreciate you and your kindness! Looking forward to a long lasting relationship! read more

I had to give 1 star because it doesn't allow me to choose ZERO stars. Horrible establishment, stay away! Lily is very arrogant and condescending. She doesn't care about your child's academic struggles. All Lily cares about is the money you are paying. If you are looking for a tutor who is understanding, compassionate and will work with helping your child, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE! BTW Lily is the owner. Enough said! read more

My daughter says that simple concepts that her past school teachers failed to explain properly, were very clearly explained here. The location director has been very flexible with scheduling, and very open to communication about my child's progress. My daughter looks forward to her lessons, and that is priceless. read more

I can't say enough about Mathnasium in Burbank. Lily runs a tight ship, my son actually enjoys coming, he loves to earn points for the prize chest, and he's back up to an A in his honors math classes! We will be continuing here because the tutors are wonderful and helpful and this is a great place for him to learn. Better than what he gets in school! A++ I highly recommend Mathnasium of Burbank! read more

This Mathnasium is a tightly run ship and Lily Yu is the captain. All the children intently work with tutors individually and by appointment. It's an absolutely chaos free environment, which is in stark contrast to other after school tutoring centers that feel more like day care centers. If you're looking for after school math help for your child with real results, look no further. Bravo, Lily!! read more

2 years ago I brought my struggling 4th grade son here. I am a teacher but I couldn't teach him! He was struggling in math (D) and I was desperate. After a few months, I noticed the change in his progress report(C). Since then his report cards in math have always been A or B, nothing lower. He is attempting to get into advanced math at his school. He really enjoys math now and says it's his favorite subject. Compare that to two years ago when he HATED math and felt dumb in class. What mathnasium has done for his self esteem is priceless! I love, love, love Mathnasium. read more

My son just started middle school and so far he continues to improve without dad or moms help thank you mathnasium

Our daughter started here as an attempt to keep on track during the summer. After the summer and the improvement and happiness we saw in her face each time she was dropped off and picked up amazed us. Math was made fun and learning just came naturally. The staff is wonderful and the fact that so many kids that go to her school also go this Mathnasium only supports that the decision we made was the best for our daughters future. When we hear our daughter say when she starts a new math concept in school, "I already know this, this will be easy!" and then she gets a 101% during this past semester which was the first following the summer, just solidifies our decision as the best one ever! read more

Lily has been great with explaining how their program works compared to other tutoring services. We're looking forward to much success for several years! read more

I wish we had gone in sooner! I have 2 girls in advanced H.S. math. Both of them were struggling and after a couple of weeks at Mathnasium they are feeling more confident and doing much better work. read more

Perfect learning center. My kids are advancing in math ever since they started with Mathnasium. Thank you Mathnasium Burbank team. Souzan B. read more

Mathnasium of Burbank is impressive in its organization and Director Yu is so dedicated that with her help my daughter has gained a greater mastery of mathematics. This is truly an investment into her future for which I am truly grateful. read more

Our daughter has been attending since first grade. She quickly went from refusing to answer when called on in class to volunteering to answer questions -- all because she finally understood the material. In middle school she was able to jump from 7th grade math to Algebra I. That would not have been possible without Mathnasium. read more

Lily is great. She is very flexible & works with families & students very individually.

This is a great place for your child that needs assistance in math. I wish I had this when I was a kid. It gives children the tools and confidence in math. It builds their self esteem. Thank you Burbank Mathnasium (Director Lily Yu and Team)! Bravo! read more

Lily and her staff at the Burbank Mathnasium are wonderful. Lily gives my daughter strategies that teachers don't teach in school. My daughter was two years behind in math. She went from hating to do her math homework to being excited about doing word problems. They help my daughter love math. She has been attending there for two years and now is at grade level. She's going to continue so that she can get ahead of her class. No more fights about doing math homework. I highly recommend Mathnasium in Burbank. read more

Kids love it and are benefiting with better maths grades. Lily & her assistants are wonderful! Highly recommend!

Mathnasium has been a wonderful addition to our children's education. My kids were at least two grade levels below in math when we started at Mathnasium. Both are now freshmen in high school and are receiving As in math. We are grateful for the support that Mathnasium has provided our children. read more
