Mathnasium is an international math learning franchise that focuses on taking a less traditional -- and less intimidating -- approach to teaching math- ematics, boosting students' confi dence along the way. Now the learning centre has a new location in Georgetown. "Georgetown is a dynamic and active community with caring parents who are passionate about their kids' academic success," said owner Aida Elhalwagy. "We love talking to the parents of Georgetown, and participating in the various events and activities that is making Georgetown a special place to live and work." Mathnasium instructors assess each student and create customized learning plans tailored to their individual needs. The centre calls its approach the Mathnasium Method, which consists of identifying students' current levels in math, then leading them toward success by teaching them in a way that makes sense to them, Elhalwagy said. "I get a chance every day to give young learn- ers an effective, engaging and encouraging learning experience that cultivates an intuitive understanding of math," she added. "When math makes sense, kids gain self-confi dence and leap way ahead. That's our goal." The new Georgetown Mathnasium centre is at 369 Mountainview Rd. South.
