    DS started at Mathnasium in 2nd grade. We got the information after after he competed in their math competition and won his grade level. He tested into 5th grade math at that time. They started him in 4th grade to make sure the gaps from the testing were filled. He found the pace of the tutoring very slow. They made him do every problem before they allowed him to move on. He went for a year before he said he didn't want to go anymore. (He won the 3rd grade competition as well with a perfect score on first 2 sections and messed up the mental math section because he forgot he couldn't write it down lol). He finished up having just started 5th grade math. One year and all they moved was one year of math. When we signed up, they had said he should be ready for Algebra by spring break (6 months).

    I wasn't happy with the pace or what I paid.
