Mathnasium Learning Centers Franchise

Mathnasium Learning Centers is a franchise for a center providing Math learning.

It was founded in 2002 and started franchising in 2003. The Mathnasium Method was founded by Larry Martinekk over 50 years ago.In 2002, Peter Markovitz and David Ullendorff recognized Larry’s method as the curriculum in their math learning centers. The first Mathnasium was opened in Westwood, California. Mathnasium is a different approach in math using sophisticated techniques that helps determine what the student already knows and what they do not. They first evaluate the child through comprehensive written and oral evaluation. The evaluation is a diagnostic test in two parts. The first test is through a written test to see the student’s weakness and determine the grade-level material. The second test is through oral questioning to see how the students understand math concepts. Then they tailor-make and personalize the learning program for the child. This will help answer to the child’s unique needs. The child is expected to follow the program with the guidance of a trained Mathnasium tutors. They receive one-on-one sessions when they visit the center. They focus more on written and mental math through a manipulative approach as needed. These sessions are done an hour once or twice a week at the center. To check on their progress, they base it on the child’s independent tests, report card, and the parent’s observation. They measure the speed of the child.
