Mathnasium – The Math Learning Center to open this fall in Kenilworth

Mathnasium – The Math Learning Center is coming to Kenilworth this fall. This new center will provide a safe and supportive setting for grade-school students to develop much-needed math skills and to build confidence in their math-related abilities.  Mathnasium is targeting to open immediately after Labor Day at 554 Green Bay Road just south of RRB Cycles. 

 

This is the second Mathnasium franchise to be opened by J. Steve and Karen Santacruz of Wilmette.  Their other location is in the Glen Town Center in Glenview.  Since opening in September 2010, Mathnasium of the Glen has enrolled nearly 600 students and given over 14,000 individual math lessons.  Currently, Mathnasium of the Glen has over 170 students enrolled in their Math Learning Center with a strong contingency from the North Shore.

“We are excited about the opportunity to help more students in developing strong math skills.  Most students simply need more focused instruction in order to excel,” said owner, Steve Santacruz. “The Mathnasium method achieves this and much more, due to the richness and breadth of the Mathnasium curriculum.  It is the ideal adjunct for a student’s daily classroom instruction, whether the child is struggling or advanced.”  Steve and Karen were originally attracted to Mathnasium’s curriculum focus on number sense and numerical fluency.  “Mathnasium teaches math to children in a way that makes sense to them. We borrow examples on how they are using math concepts every day to show them how simple math can be.  This is the greatest strength of our method.”

On opening in Kenilworth, Steve said, “We have many families that are enrolled at our Center in Glenview from the North Shore that have been asking for a location closer to home.  We wanted to better accommodate our clientele in this area and offer our math programs to new families in the North Shore.”  Mathnasium will offer its math programs to students from 2nd to 12th grade.  For high school students, Mathnasium plans to offer a Math Homework Resource Center where students can go to work on math homework while having math instructors available to answer questions and assist them in their learning.  Having two high school students of their own at New Trier, Steve and Karen believe this program will be a valuable resource to H.S. students.”
