Customer Testimonials
We LOVE Mathnasium of Portsmouth! Doug and his staff have been so amazing working with our son. We started him in the program in June and he was at a mid 4th grade level. He has made wonderful progress in two months and is loving math now. He looks forward to his sessions because Mathnasium makes it fun and helps build our son's confidence in his learning!
We will and have recommended Mathnasium already! If you have a kiddo needing help in math, this is the place :)
Both our boys (ages 10 and 12) have enjoyed their summer experiences at Portsmouth's Mathnasium. It makes sense to keep them stimulated during the summer break so they're not spending the first 2 months back at school relearning last year's math. What's even better is they actually LIKE going to mathnasium!....this is in stark contract to other education services we've tried in the past. Thanks Doug Sterns for your terrific management!
Flexible and engaging staff!!
Seeing my son gain confidence and successfully grasp concepts that he was previously having difficulties with is amazing. I'm impressed by each tutor who has work with my son and the feedback we receive after each session. Each interaction we've had has been positive. The initial assessment testing allowed the center to identify what areas needed immediate attention and that's where they started. We plan on continuing the tutor through the school year to keep our son on track and give him the extra assistance he needs. I highly recommend Mathnasium!
You know the program is successful when your child wants to go back every week.... throughout the summer!
Doug and his staff have a terrific learning environment.
My 2 children have had excellent experience at Mathnasium and I would highly recommend their services, staff is knowledgeable, always courteous and accommodating to child's needs. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs help with math
Mathnasium has been a pleasure to deal with. They are professional, efficient and provide an excellent quality of tutoring tailored specifically for your childs needs. It is not inexpensive, but I consider it money well spent as an investment in my son's future. He received decent grades in math, but I knew he did not have a thorough understanding of the required math concepts. This summer we are turning that around!
I think both my boys are really getting the enrichment they wanted - thank you!
The Thompson family absolutely loves mathnasium!!! We started three years ago and we are very pleased with the excellent skills that have been taught to our two daughters. We have recommended the program to many of our neighbors and they are now attending. We love Doug and the whole staff. Well worth the price to help your child succeed in math.

The program is well run. My son's confidence and performance in Pre AP Calc greatly improved. We are very satisfied with our experience with the tutors and Mathnassium. Thank you!
My daughter has raised her grade from 66 to 90 in Pre-Algebra in just 3 weeks. We are so grateful to Mathnasium staff for all their support and personalized learning plans.
My daughter enjoys going to class very much and has learned a great deal in a friendly and comfortable environment.
Our daughter actually looks forward to her time at Mathnasium and finds the instruction very helpful. If she finds herself behind on a certain concept in her math homework she is quickly brought up to speed by the skilled staff. Thank you for making math fun!
Our son is the second year at the Mayhnesium. The results of an excellent work of the instructors are obvious - our son's grade and comfort in math increased from C+ to B+
Patient with my autistic son. Helping him to be more patient himself with the importance of slowing down the steps and processes of math
Mathnasium has been a pretty good supplementary study time for my daughter and she has made some very good progress in terms of her ability to recognize and solve word problems, something I have been quite worried about. The schedule was pretty flexible and Doug Stearns has been very flexible with our schedule.
Not enough space here or time to tell you all how thankful we are. Straight A's for our son for two years. Great people and fantastic owner, Doug.

We are extremely happy with Mathnasium. It is a great learning atmosphere and our child is more confident when completing math assignments. It has been a tool for success in math.
The atmosphere is very conducive to learning. Its clean and bright and there is space for the kids to spread their work out. The teachers are knowledgeable and patient and seem very good at engaging the students.
My daughter has gone from a C in math to an A-. Mathnasium is a big part of that improvement.
Aidan looks forward to coming to Mathnasium each week and is making good progress in his math abilities.
The staff is flexible with scheduling and styles of teaching.
Bradley was out of school the other day ill.
His teacher told him that he did not need to make up the math work that they had the day before.
Bradley asked why and his teacher said that he was confident that he would be fine.
Bradley is now feeling more and more sure of himself these days.
This is due not only to the reinforced skills, but the fact that he is learning math skills from more that one individuals.
I believe the above is key in his ability to learn the math with greater ease (From many different perspectives).
Keep up the great work.
Thank you,

Increased her confidence and skills. She enjoyed going back every every time!
Zac has improved his Math grade from a D to a B- in the last 3 months. I am thankful for the Confidence Zac has gained from his work @ Mathnasium.Thank you
My daughter has always struggled with math. After just a few session at Mathnasium, I could see that she was already gaining more confidence in herself. She went from dreading math to enjoying it. The staff is always friendly and helpful. She had been home schooled for the last 5 years and started high school this year. We were worried that the transition was going to be difficult, but she has been doing great. Her first semester final grade in Math was an 106%. Thank you Mathnasium for giving her the confidence and the skills she needs to excel in what once was a difficult subject for her.
My son has finally scored a 90:/ on his math test and quiz. He finally gets it, he's not out of the woods yet, but Mathnasium has him on the right path.
My son enjoys going to Mathnasium. He is definitely more confident in his math skills then he was before going to Mathnasium.
Mathnasium has been a godsend to our 9 year old son and his relationship with math. Since starting Mathnasium, less than a year ago, his math scores have improved from below average to average for his age and grade level. We are so relieved to have found such support and encouragement through Mathnasium and its professional and kid-friendly teachers.

We are so happy that our two teenage daughters attend Mathnasium! We initially won a scholarship through our middle school years ago.
We have witnessed such progress that we decided to keep going forward with the tutoring, reaching three years now. Our children have greatly improved their grades up to B plus and A plus. One daughter has been accepted into an accelerated math program within our Middle School.
Overall, it has improved their confidence and attitudes towards Math. I highly recommend sending your child to Mathnasium in Portsmouth, Rhode Island!
Doug Stearns and his staff are very committed to providing the best tutoring so your child can succeed!!
