WHAT PARENTS SAY ABOUT US
EMC has helped my son discover a deep passion for math in the short span of time that he has been with them. We are very pleased with the superior quality of instruction that EMC offers, as it vastly extends what is offered in a traditional elementary school setting.
My son took lessons from Anna a couple of years ago and we both really liked it, but then we moved to San Mateo. After observing his progress in private school, and exploring some math afterschool programs in the area, I've decided that EMC is worth a commute from San Mateo to San Jose. Anna is an awesome teacher - very patient and truly engaging. The classes are small so each kid gets personal attention and has a chance to discuss his ideas. And most importantly, they believe that learning math can be cool and fun. We are very happy to be back, and I highly recommend EMC!
I was hoping to find a place
where they could fall in love with math and be inspired...
As a parent I'm very happy that I found this place.
Definitely recommended!
My eight year old loves math at EMC with Anna. I can see the difference in the way she is engaging with math. She is excited to try harder and harder problems, and is approaching each problem with creative approaches that I could not predict.
Anna teaches ... them to aim for understanding over memorization, to enjoy challenges, to persist and to try different approaches to solve difficult problems.
I'm so happy my friend referred me to this school!
[EMC] has a unique approach that is both fun and stimulating. It's more about logic and playing interesting games, then just plain math, but it does make a huge difference to math skills!
My daughter loves these classes, and, honestly, I love them too!
They truly make sure the kids learn in the best way possible! My daughter even loves doing her homework!
On top of everything, the location is very convenient, always plenty of parking and the school has a spacious waiting area.
The way [EMC] approaches teaching math is unlike a lot of others. Our [student] actually looks forward to each class because he's actually having fun learning. It's like play based learning but they're figuring out tricks to solve problems that normally take much longer to do for their age. Highly recommend EMC for anyone wanting to get their kids to love math and learn it in a fun way!
My daughter likes these lessons so much. They are not only learning math according to very advanced program for their age, but it is done in very entertaining manner, so kids never get bored, they solve logic puzzles and Anna also teaches them how to think logically. My daughters teacher at her public school keeps telling me that my daughter is genius in math and that she can give lessons herself. Also she showed great results on Kangaroo math Olympiad last year. And it is all thanks to Anna and her great Math school!
Thanks to Engaging Math Circles (EMC) my kids love math! and they are getting better and better at it too! My kids love solving puzzles. I've seen a huge change in their ability to work and think independently while solving complex (age appropriate) problems. No matter how tired, they RUN to class. They are excited to learn.
I am so happy we signed up both our kids to study math with EMC!
Our eldest who didn’t like math so much, all of a sudden loves it! He ... enjoys the materials and does his homework gladly 😀 this makes my life so much easier! Plus no more 10 reminders or fighting over homework. Kudos. Our Youngest loves math but school didn’t challenge her. EMC took over and she was so happy we signed her up.
Both kids are placed with same Math level kids. Teachers are .. all very math savvy and nice to kids, respectful and fair. Our kids love to learn with EMC because they are being challenged, respected, listened to, and they see their improvement and advancement.
My 10 year old son needed additional help in improving his fundamental understanding of math concepts. One of my coworkers recommended Anna and I am glad that we met her. Anna is kind, and is extremely patient with kids - she makes it fun for the kids, and inculcates a sense of love for math. My son loves how different teachers Anna, Stephanie, Andy all enjoy working with his circle and exploring different ways of problem solving. He appreciates the learning environment and always looks forward to his next class.
