Top-Rated Math Tutors - Mathnasium of Woodbury

FAQ

Mathnasium of Woodbury FAQs

• Where is Mathnasium of Woodbury located?

  Mathnasium of Woodbury is located at 1125 Woodbury Drive, Woodbury, MN 55129, next to Anytime Fitness and Kinderberry Hill. 

  We proudly serve students from Woodbury, Oakdale, and Lake Elmo, as well as the South Washington County Schools and Stillwater Area Public Schools.

• What’s the difference between Mathnasium and private tutors?

  Unlike a tutor who focuses on helping with tonight’s homework or prepping for Friday’s test, Mathnasium takes a deeper approach. We work to uncover and address the underlying gaps that make those assignments challenging in the first place—often built up over several years. By strengthening core skills, we aim to make learning more manageable and confidence more sustainable.

• How old do students need to be to enroll at Mathnasium of Woodbury?

  Although Mathnasium focuses solely on math, at Mathnasium of Woodbury, students do need to read short phrases independently to fully engage with the material.  

  Our sessions are also an hour long, which can be a lot for younger learners. Because of this, children in PreK, Kindergarten, or early 1st grade may not yet be ready for the full experience. If you feel your child is up for it, we are always happy to offer our risk-free assessment to see if they are ready to get started!

• What math classes can your Woodbury tutors help with?

  Mathnasium of Woodbury can help students learn and master any grade 1–12 math class or topic, from basic arithmetic to Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and more advanced subjects. 

  We follow learning plans that are tailored to each student’s specific needs, ensuring they get the right support to make sense of math, close their knowledge gaps, and build solid foundations for math mastery.

• How frequently should we expect to attend Mathnasium of Woodbury?

  Mathnasium is designed for students to attend an average of two or three one-hour sessions per week.  

  Since our enrollments are set up as a monthly tuition, there can be flexibility within the calendar month should conflicts arise.   

  Any lessons not used by the end of a calendar month are counted as a lost lesson.

• Does Mathnasium of Woodbury offer a once-a-week option?

  No. When students attend infrequently, it is harder for them to retain what they've learned, which may lead to extra review and slower progress.  

  Even if you are looking to just give some extra challenge to an advanced student for enrichment, learning new material still requires time and reinforcement.   

  Consistent attendance helps your child build confidence and keep moving forward!

• What does mathematics tutoring cost at Mathnasium of Woodbury?

  We provide premium value math-only tutoring through a monthly membership fee and a one-time enrollment fee. Students typically attend two to three times per week. 

  Following a diagnostic assessment, we create a personalized learning plan with a recommended session schedule based on your child’s goals. For details, contact us at [email protected].

• Why do you require an assessment for enrollment?

  Each student begins with a diagnostic assessment that allows us to evaluate their current math skills, identify knowledge gaps, and understand their academic goals. This helps us create a personalized learning plan that will best support their growth.

• How long should we expect to be enrolled at Mathnasium of Woodbury?

  Mathnasium of Woodbury offers flexible enrollment options year-round, including 6- and 12-month plans. Some families choose to join seasonally, while others stay year-round to keep skills sharp and continue advancing.  

  Because learning gaps often build up over several years, it typically takes more than a few months to fully address them.  

  Even if your child is working at or above grade level, we can continue previewing new concepts to help them stay ahead. Our role is to keep you informed of your child's current progress and grade-level standing, but you decide when their learning goals have been met.

• Can we take a break during our enrollment period?

  We allow for a 1-month hold per 6-months of your enrollment period. Pauses longer than this negatively impact our ability to keep your student moving through their learning plan and may cause skill regression.   

  The Mathnasium program works best with regular, continuous enrollment. This is the reason our membership structure is based on a multi-month enrollment period.

• How do you teach math? What curriculum do you use?

  Mathnasium of Woodbury does not follow a one-size-fits-all curriculum. We use the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach that combines personalized, assessment-based learning plans with proven teaching techniques to build solid foundations for math mastery. 

  Our tutors work with students face-to-face in a supportive and engaging group environment, building on what they already know, introducing new concepts in a logical sequence, and enhancing their problem solving and critical thinking skills.

• Do you work with advanced students or with students who are struggling with math?

  Yes! At Mathnasium of Woodbury, we support students of all skill levels, whether they are catching up, keeping up, or ready to get ahead in math. 

  Students who are behind in math class receive personalized instruction and caring guidance to rebuild the foundational skills and confidence they need to progress. Advanced learners benefit from enrichment programs that challenge their thinking and expand their math knowledge.

• Do you work with homeschooled students in Woodbury?

  Absolutely! We welcome homeschool, public, and private school students from Woodbury, Oakdale, Lake Elmo, and nearby communities.

• Do you help students with their math homework?
