Yes! We support K–12 students from all educational backgrounds, including homeschooled, private, and public school students throughout Southeast Portland and surrounding neighborhoods.
Our schoolwork policy is individually tailored to each student, and the first step in determining this is through our free assessment. We pride ourselves in helping students find independent success in math by addressing the root cause of why schoolwork is an issue: weak fundamental skills.
If we find that a student has gaps in their knowledge, we make rebuilding these skills a priority. When a student's math foundations are strengthened to the point where they can grasp the concepts taught in their math class, only then do we allow students to work on schoolwork for a portion of their Mathnasium sessions.
If we provide help on schoolwork prematurely, it would create a sense of dependence, not independence, within a student. Nor would it help them find confidence in math. Not a winning strategy!
