-SF, Geneva
Our daughter began MathMinds 5 years ago and we've been beyond thrilled. Ms. Liz is an exceptional teacher who is able to explain math concepts in a way that is easy to understand and actually fun! Since starting MathMinds, she has shed much of her math anxiety and has developed a greater sense of confidence in her math skills.

OMG! He had the BEST time at this camp! He came in and told me that not only was it the best camp all summer but the best camp of all time! Thank you again for making math so much fun -KW, Geneva, IL
Wow -- My nine-year-old daughter just finished Harry Potter camp at MathMinds. Not only did she enjoy the camp -- she has already asked me if she could do ALL the camps next summer. As a mother, I want my kids to have a wonderful camp experience... but the fact that she had an amazing experience AND spent time understanding how to apply those math skills through fun experiments -- I'm thrilled! Parents -- if you have a child who is lacking self-confidence in their math skills, I would highly recommend MathMinds. -SK, Geneva, IL

Thanks so much for being the best! My daughter's confidence in math brings me so much joy and it’s all because of the work you do with her. She even asked to do EXTRA MATH FOR FUN and she has rediscovered her love for math. I wish I had a teacher like you when I was learning math!! - LK, Geneva, IL
