How Mathnasium helps students increase their math skills and take the next step in their educational journey

What do you get when you add a talented, passionate staff of instructors to a group of eager, dedicated kids? You get Mathnasium!

Situated among the shops in Midlands Place is a hot spot for learning, locally owned and operated by Michelle Koester.

“There is a pretty magical energy in this room,” Koester said.

Mathnasium is far more than a math tutor. Students’ math skills are fully assessed before a customized plan is created. 

Not just for young kids, Koester said Mathnasium also caters to advanced students with math challenges including pre-calculus.

“Many know the frustration. We know what it feels like when math doesn’t make sense. But with Mathnasium, it’s so nice to know what it feels like when it does," Koester said.

Tiffany Slayton is proud to see that confidence grow in her daughter, eight-year-old Eviana.

“She has made great improvement,” she said. “Math is so much easier for her now.”

Slayton said she and her husband are looking forward to parent-teacher conferences and visiting with Eviana’s third-grade teacher about her improvement.

Koester said she appreciates schools and teachers and hopes they see Mathnasium as an additional resource.

In the meantime, Eviana is a superfan of Mathnasium. She enjoys working hard on her assignments and earning the opportunity to spin the prize wheel. “My favorite prize is to sit in the teacher’s chair,” she said.
