May 31, Lina Diep. At the time of signing up, my daughter was slipping in grades and understanding of her math topics. After a month or so of Mathnasium, I received her school report card and it showed her grade improved. What's more important, than improving in grades, is that she continues to like and appreciate the tutoring that she received from Mathnasium tutors. When the tutoring sessions moved online due to COVID, my daughter continued to attend her scheduled sessions.
Rae, the center director, was very active in communicating with me about the transition to online and she continues to diligently deliver the services. May 2, Shonthay Bradberry. My 2nd grader was really struggling with Math, Rae is so patient with him, I truly appreciate that.
He really loved going to the learning center but since COVID, Mathnasium has been doing remote learning, they have not missed a beat. My son has learned so much and I definitely see improvement in his Math skills. Thank you Rae and the mathnasium family! April 11, Fred Concepcion.

The staff is very helpful. I should have known about Mathnasium West Covina sooner. March 4, March 1, My daughter has been using the tutoring service of Mathnasium for about a month. Her school progress report card came home a month after enrolling and it showed her grade in Calculus went from minus to plus. She likes her tutors and is learning the math skills that was taught last year, but was unable to grasp them in order to apply to this school year's math level.
My daughter was quickly falling behind in class and as parents, we don't want our child to fall behind to the point of giving up; so thanks to Mathnasium for showing up in the West Covina community at the right time, for me and my daughter.
