[quote=Anonymous]Mathnasium is a franchise, so each is owned by a private individual who sets their own costs.  They also have the ability to set how the curriculum is done.

If it is done correctly, by the Mathnasium principles, it is an excellent program.  However- I saw at least one PP saying "my kid wouldn't do well with worksheets" etc.

That is a LOT of what Mathnasium does.

I worked in two different Learning Centers, one in Frederick in high school and one in college in Virginia.  They paid well and were great for my resume.  But both did not require any particular training or math expertise, and both of them were owned by entrepreneurs who had bought the franchise but were both individually HORRIBLE at math, just wanted to start a profitable business.  They would tutor kids and completely teach them wrong/incorrect mathematics, and I have heard that is not that rare of an occurrence.

I think it completely depends on which Learning Center you are attending, and what type of learner your child is.  I also think it depends a lot on who the tutors are at the center and what their training and certification is.  I would research the center, and observe the tutors.  See what teaching style they are using, and see how you think your student would do.  Also consider if you're always going to go on Mondays, see what staff will always be there on Mondays.  Or if you'll always be going on Saturdays- are there always a ton of kids there on Saturdays and only 2 tutors?  Things to think about.  [/quote]
