Mathnasium is excellent. Last year my son was behind almost one grade level. This year within 6 month he went from getting 50% to 90-98% and is confident in his math skills. I highly recommend Mathnasium! read more

I can't say enough good things about Mathnasium of South Pasadena. My son has been coming here since elementary school and now he's in high school! He loves the instructors, particularly Oren, who is extremely patient and is great at explaining complex concepts. Matthew, the current director, is excellent at running the center and is highly responsive to the needs and concerns of kids and parents alike. Previous center directors (shout out to Nathan, Andrew, and Robbie) have also been fantastic. We honestly could not have survived Math all of these years if it wasn't for Mathnasium. Everyone there is kind, approachable, and well- qualified. I highly recommend this center. They are outstanding. read more

Mathnasium South Pasadena has been helping our daughter achieve grade-level mastery in Math for the past four years. We are very pleased with everyone in this team of Math coaches. They are not only competent, but more so, kind and relatable to kids and teens. The lessons are never short of being serious, but also never too intimidating, as the coaches make it more understandable based on the student's level. We were also very impressed by how quickly they were able to adapt to the changes in teaching medium due to the recent pandemic. The students were quickly introduced to virtual learning which helped parents like us tremendously in guiding our students in this new learning environment. My daughter was able to study Math even during summer thanks to Mathnasium! I have nothing but praises for this learning center! Thanks Mathnasium! read more

My daughter's attitude towards math has completely changed for the better and her math confidence has exponentially increased. This is 100% due to Mathnasium. And, a total shocker to me, she actually likes going to Mathnasium. I remember the long fights over Kumon. Not so with Mathnasium. I also see her joking around with the instructors and having a good time. Apparently math can be fun! read more

Mathnasium in South Pasadena has been a tremendous help to our family for the past two years. When our older was struggling in math last year, the excellent tutors helped her master the skills she needed to succeed, not just for that class, but for the rest of her life. She is getting an A in math this year, but without Mathnasium's help. This, to me, is a testament to the fact that the tutors help students not just with their homework, but they teach students how to approach challenges and learn material on their own. I attribute a large part of this center's success to its director, Andrew Molina. Andrew is exceptionally kind and understanding, and the kids relate to him well. He obviously maintains high standards for the tutors, because every tutor we have interacted with has been professional and friendly. Andrew knows every student by name and makes a point of checking in with each one individually. We have now signed up our younger daughter for Mathnasium, and she is doing great in math now, too! I am grateful for Andrew Molina and his excellent team at Mathnasium. read more

Matthew are highly professional! Highly recommend Mathnasium in South Pasadena. Great team and very helpful. My daughter has improved and is more comfortable in math. read more

Mathnasium South Pasadena is now open for in-center instruction with all safety protocols in place. They offer free initial assessment and trial too!! Andrew is really nice and helpful with how he can personalize learning plan for the students based on their math level and the goal. With the South Pasadena Unified School District will continue with Distance Learning, Mathnasium South Pasadena offers Mathnasium @Home. Mathnasium@home is different. Unlike online learning services that rely on pre-recorded videos and self-guided work, our students receive face-to-face, individualized instruction tailored to their exact educational needs, just like in our learning center. Students can learn from the comfort of home or anywhere there's an internet connection. Whether in the center or online, we make math fun and engaging, so children like yours can catch up, keep up and soar ahead. read more

Highly recommend Mathnasium in Monterey Park! All the tutors are friendly and very knowledgeable! Math is fun again for my son

My daughter went from C- to solid B in 3 months. She goes there everyday after school (except Friday - they are not open). it is not cheap (350$ per month), but worse it. Recommend! read more

As always, this is a great place for my kids to go to after school. With friendly and helpful staff, my children have made rapid progress in math and feel confident in the classroom. Thanks Matthew and everyone who works at Mathnasium's South Pasadena. read more

My daughter is pretty smart student and very hard working one, but when she struggled in her Math subjects I did not hesitate to give Mark another call, just like what I did to my son in prior year, that now my son is top notch in his math subjects and still loving it. Mark and the whole entire Mathnasium South Pasadena Team is amazing... I mean a m a z i n g ! ! !.. they make sure that individuals who are with them understands what they are learning, these guys are making math fun and easy to understand as my daughter did in her first learning experience with the team. They really care for what an individual needs and they are knowledgeable on what the issue is and resolve at all times I wouldn't hesitate to bring my children here, when we encounter Math problem(s), this is the place to be period. Thank You Mark Y. and the whole entire team!!! God bless each and everyone of you read more

My 2nd and 4th graders have been attending South Pas Mathnasium for several months. They've attended both in-center instruction as well as virtual - we've found both formats to work well as the instructors are always clear, caring, responsive and patient. We receive prompt and thorough progress reports about our kids and the Mathnasium team welcomes input about each child's unique temperament and how best to support them while teaching. read more

The instructors and staffs at Mathnasium are wonderful and very patient. They always address my concerns. Since attending Mathnasium, my daughter has gained more confidence and keep her interest in math. Besides, they always keep me update on my daughter's learning progress. She likes it there and I hope to continue see positive results and feelings from Mathnasium. read more

My child needs a lot of support with math. I chose Mathnasium over a private tutor because the staff at Mathnasium have a thorough understanding of Common Core principles and grade-level-benchmarks. They assess your student and make a plan to target any skills that need more attention and practice. School curriculums move too fast for some kids-- Mathnasium is a terrific way to get extra practice and support. The customer service here is SECOND TO NONE. Andrew is so personable, knows my kids as individuals, and is a pleasure to communicate with. He is non-judgmental with the students, speaks to them in an intelligent way, has a positive spirit, is so patient, and so understanding. We feel we are in good hands here! read more

Leaving another 5 start rating after yet another successful year my son has had improving in his math skills! The administration is not only intuitive, but understanding and It's hard to imagine our life without Mathnasium tutoring! read more

The entire team at this Mathnasium is exceptional. Something like math can be scary for kids but everyone here made it easy for my daughter (7th grade) to understand. Her grades came up 30% one month after we started the sessions. Very grateful for their honed ability to help and was always brightened by their friendliness. Thanks guys! read more

Larry is amazing! Kind, patient, and so so sweet. I appreciate all that they do. I cannot tell you how attending their program has changed our son's understanding of math and increased his self confidence. As long as we live in LA this is the place for our son. You guys are amazing!! read more

Highest recommendation for Mathnasium! I am so impressed by the quality of all of the coaches and curriculum. My daughter started a year ago and I have not only seen a huge different in her math skills and scores, but now she is confident and loves math! She actually likes going to Mathnasium and every single person that works there is professional, nice, and caring. I also think that the director, Andrew, does an amazing job running the program, being on top of everything, and yet, always available to meet to discuss questions and progress reports. read more

South Pasadena Mathnasium is fantastic. Andrew is so genuine. He truly wants to do everything to help my son succeed. The time he takes with my son and me as well is greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Mathnasium over a regular tutor. I believe their methods really work and best of all, they care! read more

I need to say that I spend a lot of my time in South Pasadena, while I live in Santa Monica. I have a daughter that is in 4th grade.. In Santa Monica, BUT the Mathnasium here is SO GOOD that she does her tutoring here, not in SM. I know.. Crazy! I say this every time I am driving in the most vicious traffic several times a week to get here. We started at the SM Mathnasium and it was great when Kai was the director, but she left. She was amazing all on her own, but SM seems to be a little scattered in organization or crowded or mismatched.. I'm not actually certain the exact deficit I feel at that one to make me not want to drop $350 a month! RIGHT?? Yes.. SO.. I drive my daughter to this one because I'm happy to pay these guys. She has improved in her math confidence, has fun doing math, likes to go here despite the awful commute and doesn't say she hates math anymore. This is worth every cent and mile spent. No one can improve in anything if their attitude towards something doesn't change and that's what happened here in South Pasadena that didn't happen in Santa Monica. Andrew is wonderful and accommodating. Nathan is also wonderful and a genius as are every single tutor at this location. We are going to stick it out for the 4th grade tutoring here because I really think that South Pasadena has it going on at this place. We've tried several other math tutoring places (beyond Mathnasium's) and this one IS the BEST one. It's like a little math family or something and the kids respond to it. It's great, spend the money. It's worth it. Call Andrew Molina, he will help you and your child out. read more

Andrew is so accommodating, professional and nice even with all that is going on. My daughter is reviewing and mastering the fundamentals that she needs to strengthen before she heads off to high school. Thanks to every one at Mathnasium. read more

My child was struggling in math. She was 1 year behind when tested. In the span of 12 months, she mastered 2 grade levels and is now slightly above grade level. Her hard work combined with the amazing math foundation that Mathnasium provides has made all the difference. read more

My concerns of my son's declining math grade have been growing in the past 6 months or so. We have been trying different types of classes from different learning center surrounding. I have tried KUMON in the past and felt that their program was not a fit for my son in this situation. He felt so defeated as why I am so bad in math. It broke my heart as I heard it from him. I had to take the matters into my own hands and find another suitable supplemental program. Back in August, I have stumbled upon Mathnasium driving on Fair Oaks in South Pasadena. I signed my son for Mathnasium in September. I was skeptical about the program in the beginning, but it has beat all of my expectations. First of all, the improvements in my son's math grades over the last 3-4 months are drastic (grades increased from D to B-). Second, my son loves to go there and enjoys every minute of his study time. The tutors are a great team in building his confidence also appreciate for any updates they given to me. Math is no longer a chore. Those instructors at Mathnasium are real professionals and excellent with/around children. The stuff is genuinely interested in growing math knowledge in kids and delivering exceptional services while doing so. Their supplemental learning helping kids all the way through high school which allows for further bonding amongst kids themselves and teachers. Every single interaction with them to me, as a parent, has been informative, painless, and very genuine. They are truly interested in helping kids to fall in love with math subject. More impressive than their re sults is the fact that they care about their students as individuals. Robie makes himself readily available for extra study sessions prior to finals. I definitely recommend enrolling without any reservations! read more

We are sending our pre-K here to give him enrichment in math and WOW, this is as good as it gets! The owner (Mark), the co-owner and ALL the staff are TOP NOTCH in quality, patience, kindness and totally know their stuff. I love that their way of getting kids to understand math is really about truly understanding math, not just rote memorization. You are given work to do, but there are many qualified tutors always buzzing around to make sure your child is 1) doing the work by himself and 2) can get help/explanations whenever needed and 3) can actually explain why they got the answers they got. WONDERFUL program, WONDERFUL center. The best of the best and when you break down the pricing, worth every single penny. read more

My son is an LAUSD middle school student, where for whatever reason it is a sink or swim situation for the students of this system. My son was struggling in math ( completely Failing). I did everything in my power to get him help within the LAUSD system. I spoke with teachers, counselors, principals, etc.. No one could offer any help but, they were quick to point their fingers at my son as being the problem. He is a good kid and kind of shy ( Gifted Too). I finally decided to enroll him with Mathnasium here in South Pasadena. Within one month he went from Failing in math, getting 26% on test, to becoming an A+ student in math getting 100%. This place is AMAZING !!!!. He has been going for 8 months now and is still doing exceptionally well. His self confidence has increased as well and is doing better in his other subjects. Larry runs this place like a well oiled machine. read more

An update to my previous review: Thank you to Mathnasium South Pasadena's owners for their prompt response upon seeing my feedback posted. I appreciated their acknowledgment and understanding of my frustration. I'm taking this as a sign that my previous experience was not typical. I'm also pleasantly surprised that the owners are not only monitoring public feedback, but taking the time to follow-up. read more

UPDATE: So, it's been 2 years since my original review. During that time my rating went from 1 Star to 5 Stars. Mark, Liz, Titus, Robbie and the rest of the staff at Mathnasium South Pasadena have been wonderful. Mark was quick to address my original concerns and has gone out of his way to demonstrate that my first experience was not the norm. I'm not sure exactly how they do it, but my 6th grade son LOVES going to Mathnasium. We actually took a break last summer, but once the school year started, my son nagged me to sign him back up. He didn't stop asking until I finally got him back to Mathnasium. We're now at the end of the school year and my kid still asks every day if he can go to Mathnasium after school. Whatever they're doing to keep him enthusiastic about learning math, I say "keep it up!". read more

My son , the kid was spend in this place for few years but he was still excited when he go to there . He said it help to learn in fun. The tutor is very nice and patient to explain until you understand. Thank you for all tutors for your time with my kid. read more

It's been a great help to my kids. For my daughter, it pointed out where she was behind and for my son it's helped him catch up where he needs to. read more

Mathnasium is a wonderful program that has helped my daughter to excel in Math. I feel that the program is set up in a way that allows my daughter to have guidance when needed and challenged when she's mastered a concept. Overall, the program has given my daughter the confidence to take risks in Math and has helped her actually enjoy doing homework. Everyone at Mathnasium is super supportive and encouraging! read more

Big Thank you to Larry, Melanie, Liz, Kathleen, LouAnn and all Mathnasium staffs. You guys are truefully amazing such great help to me as working parents. They will work with your child math problems and improve their skills. Great work !! My daughter is always an A student but with Mathnasium she stay on top of all thing. read more

I have a 4th grade son and he was struggling in 3rd grade with multiplication, which made 4th grade division hard. I thought I could just help him memorizing math facts, but we were not getting anywhere. My son was hesitant to go to Mathnasium, but once he got there, he not only improved within the first few sessions, he kept asking to go back. Thanks to the instructors and the director, my son was excited about math and thought it was fun! They don't just teach memorization of facts, they really take the time to explain the basic concepts to lay the foundation for the next level. I also like how the work assigned is based on an assessment, tailoring it to what my son needed to work on. This is a great place! The instructors are nice, professional, and I would highly recommend to all parents. read more

I have been attending Mathnasium for over 2 years now and I honestly think it is a great help. You get to bond with the instructors and you can learn a lot by just attending here. I also like that Mathnasium is a little more free about what you can do. Do you want to work through a workbook that you want to do and really push yourself? That's fine and the instructors will guide you through it if you have questions. Do you want to work through some specially designed pages that they give you? That's fine too! They won't really force you to do anything, as long as it's math and you are showing effort. Before coming to Mathnasium, I think the biggest problem I had with my Mathematics was that it was so hard and annoying to find out how to solve a problem. Without Mathnasium solve a math problem you don't know, you have to ask 5 friends and the internet for what could take over an hour per question. This made it really difficult to learn math in when I was younger. But, Mathnasium allows help to be readily available through talented instructors who are usually around college age. This is great because they are also students like us but have everything fresh in their heads. Not to mention the amount of interesting problems that they get on a daily basis allowing them to find new ways and be creative problem solvers. The instructors are people who really love math and it's fun to see an instructor get super excited over a problem and keep you on your feet. I do not know how else I can emphasize how amazing the place is. I would say to keep it up! I don't want this to just be the end though, I want Mathnasium to be the best that it could be and make keep striving for efforts to make the experience even better. Thank you Mark and all the instructors for running such an amazing place! If you are considering to attend here like I do, I would strongly recommend it. read more

The instructors at Mathnasium are very helpful and patient. My daughter has been going there since the common core began in her 6 grade year. She's been attending for 2.5 years now. Before she receives help with her homework she is given a few problems that are relative to it. In turn, she could do her homework with a better understanding. Since attending Mathnasium my daughter has gained more confidence and knows that she could count on the instructors to help when she is struggling with her homework. read more

Worth every penny. I took my 9th grade daughter to Mathnasium becaue she had a horrible Geometry teacher and she was doing terribly. After one week, her test scores went from "D" to "A". After the first day of mathnasium tutoring, my daughter told me that she would personally pay for the tutoring because it helped her that much. The director, Larry, the lead instructor, Neil, and the entire staff are are amazing. They are professional and 100% effective. Before going to mathnasium we had tried other tutors. On an hourly basis, the "other" tutors appeared to be a bit less expensive. However, my daughter spent more time with those "other" tutors and got much less out of it. I recommend Mathnasium without hesitation and would select them over any other program. I should note that it is unbelievable how much confidence my daughter gained after two months with the program. When my daughter started at Mathnasium, she doubted her ability to pass Geometry, let alone excel at it. She is now confident that she is good at math and that she will do well in Algebra. She told me that her instructors at Mathnasium told her she was smart and that she could do well in math whether or not she was being tutored. It was a total transformation. When I signed her up for the course I wondered whether I could afford it. Now I understand that I can't afford not to have her there. Beyond the obvious benefit my daughter received in obtaining the necessary instruction for her to improve her Geometry grade, I am confident that the tutoring will go a long way to help her excel on the SAT. She is in total command of the subject of Geometry. (Another factor you may want to consider when you are deciding whether it is worth signing up your student. It is better that you sign them up early so that they can do well from the beginning, allowing them have command of the subject throughout the semester, obtain a high grade and then do well in the subject area on the SAT. I really wish I had done it that way rather than waiting until my daughter was having trouble. The result was that she received a lower grade than she was capable of achieving, she spent endless hours of unfocusted study, frustrated and doubting herself. Whatever your student's math needs, I truly believe South Pasadena Mathnasium can help. In short, I can give no higher recommendation than that which I give to South Pasadena Mathnasium. read more

My son is extremely happy coming here. He is very motivated to learn more math. As a parent I hope to continue to see positive feelings from my 9 year old son from doing math. Mathnasium is giving my son more confidence around math and helping him through any frustration that he had working on his own. We hope that we will continue to see positive results from Mathnasium. Thank you Liz and Titus and all your staff for doing a great job! read more

We simply love Mathnasium of South Pasadena! We enrolled our daughter not because she was getting bad grades in math but because she needed a place that would challenge her. Mathnasium is that place! Mark, Titus, Robbie, Sean, and the rest of the staff here are excellent! They assess each child individually and make sure to give challenging yet appropriate worksheets. They make sure that our daughter masters and fully understands each level of math before letting her move on to the next level. The Mathnasium staff teach every child "number sense" rather than just rote memorization. They put so much care into everything that they do, and they always answer my daughter's questions with such precision. Furthermore, they always take the time to let us know what our daughter is doing and how she is progressing. My daughter really likes it here, and we parents are very grateful for all that the entire staff has done for her! read more
