Mathnasium Celebrates Milestone Opening with its 100th International Center

2025-07-09T13:26:51-04:00July 9th, 2025|Tags: , , |

  • Landmark Center Opens in Hammersmith, United Kingdom 
  • UK Becomes Mathnasium’s Largest Market Outside of the U.S., Boasting 37 Centers
  • Surging Global Demand For Supplemental Math Education Accelerates Franchise Expansion Abroad

LOS ANGELES — Mathnasium Learning Centers, a globally recognized franchise with over 1,200 locations across 12 countries, reaches a pivotal milestone: opening its 100th international center. The landmark location is in the vibrant Hammersmith neighborhood of West London, United Kingdom, cementing Britain as Mathnasium’s largest international market outside of North America. The timing couldn’t be more critical, with the new center launching just ahead of the 2025-26 academic year as parents seek intensive support to close achievement gaps that continue to impact student performance.

This expansion comes as global demand for supplemental math education continues to surge, driven by factors including lingering pandemic learning loss, explosive growth in STEM careers, and increased parental awareness of math’s critical role in future success.

“Reaching 100 international centers isn’t just about growth; it’s about meeting a critical need for supplemental math education that truly works,” said Tyler Sgro, CEO of Mathnasium. “Our method empowers children to build confidence and understanding, which sets the foundation for their future success. This milestone reflects our commitment to expanding access and making a real difference in communities worldwide — especially in fast-growing markets like the UK, where demand for high-quality math education continues to rise.”

The 100th international Mathnasium center in Hammersmith is owned by Dan Tregoning, a father of two and multi-unit franchisee since 2020. In addition to Hammersmith, he operates centers in Fulham and Notting Hill, with a fourth location currently in development. The Hammersmith territory encompasses approximately 20,000 students across 30 schools, making it an ideal area to help children build a strong foundation in math and develop a lasting love for learning.

“Opening the Hammersmith center is a proud milestone for me personally, and it’s made even more special by the fact that it marks the opening of Mathnasium’s 100th international center,” said Tregoning. “With demand for math support only growing, families need reliable access to programs that deliver real results. My background in educational real estate and early learning has shown me how critical it is to reach children at the right time, and Mathnasium does exactly that. We’re helping kids build confidence, competence, and a lifelong appreciation for math.”

Mathnasium’s International Reach Hits New Heights

  • With 37 centers serving over 3,000 students, the UK is now the largest market outside of North America. This marks just the latest achievement for Mathnasium in Britain after being named the 2024 Franchise of the Year by the British Franchise Association last year.
  • On June 1, nearly 7,000 students celebrated “Mathnasium Day” at the Ho Chi Ming City and Hanoi locations in Vietnam — participating in summer festival-themed activities that blended math, creativity, and fun.
  • Earlier this year, Mathnasium also opened its first center in Romania.
  • Momentum remains strong globally, with new centers expected to open in RomaniaSaudi ArabiaAustraliaMexico, and the UK by the end of 2025.
  • Mathnasium is targeting rapid international expansion in markets such as ThailandIndonesiaMalaysiaIndia, and Poland to meet increasing global demand for quality math education.

“Mathnasium’s expanding presence in the UK and beyond reflects a strong and growing global demand for effective supplemental math education,” said Benjamin Simon, Regional Vice President of International at Mathnasium. “Our proven, hands-on approach continues to resonate with families and communities worldwide, reinforcing our commitment to empower children with the confidence and skills they need to thrive. As we broaden our reach, we’re excited to bring our brand’s mission to more students and support their success on a global scale.”

The new Mathnasium of Hammersmith center opened its doors to students in May 2025, launching its goal of giving children the power to achieve excellence — in math and in life. A grand opening event is scheduled for this fall, inviting the community to experience firsthand how Mathnasium builds kids’ mathematical skills and confidence.

Veteran NFL Kicker Brett Maher to Open Lincoln’s First Mathnasium Center

2024-09-08T20:28:25-04:00September 8th, 2024|Tags: , , |

Brett and Jenna Maher Bring Their Passion for Education to Home State, Nebraska

LINCOLN, Neb.Mathnasium Learning Centers, an internationally known franchise with over 1,100 math-tutoring centers worldwide, is thrilled to announce its first location in Lincoln, Nebraska. The new center, located at 2901 Pine Lake Road, Suite E, is on track to open later this fall, and will be owned and operated by NFL veteran Brett Maher and his wife Jenna, who has a strong background in education.

Brett Maher, a five-year NFL kicker for the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, and Los Angeles Rams, transitions from the gridiron to the classroom with this new venture. The couple, originally from Kearney, Nebraska, has deep roots in education. Jenna is a former elementary school teacher who actively participates in her children’s PTA and serves as the communications coordinator for the local elementary school. Brett’s father is the Commissioner of Education for Nebraska, and his sister also works in the education field.

The Mahers were introduced to Mathnasium two years ago by a friend of Brett’s who had prior experience with the brand. Having lived in Lincoln for over a decade with their three daughters, they recognized Mathnasium as a perfect fit for their backgrounds and community needs. With the vital support of their Center Director and former LPS teacher Taylor Kieser, the couple is excitedly preparing to open their center this fall.

“Opening this Mathnasium center in Lincoln is a thrilling new chapter for us. As someone who’s experienced the dedication and discipline required in professional sports, I understand how important a solid foundation is for success, said Brett Maher. “I’m excited to bring that same level of commitment to helping local kids excel in math to prepare them for their future education and professional careers. It’s a fantastic way for Jenna and I to give back to our community and support the future stars of Lincoln.”

Mathnasium Learning Centers specializes in math-only tutoring and is committed to providing the world’s best instruction. The goal: teach children math in a way that makes sense to them. For decades, the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids learn math — building students’ understanding of math concepts through personalized instruction and a customized learning plan — all while producing tremendous results and helping students achieve their full potential in math and in life.

“With my background as a former elementary school teacher, where I developed a deep understanding of educational challenges and successes, this opportunity allows me to leverage the connections I’ve built with schools and educators to offer a valuable resource that fosters academic growth,” said Jenna Maher. “We’re passionate about giving back to our community, and opening this center will enable us to make a meaningful impact in Lincoln by helping students thrive and succeed.”

The fast-growing brand has observed a substantial increase in student enrollments due to the ongoing rise in supplemental education, coinciding with a concerning drop in math scores since the pandemic. With recently released data from the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) indicating that growth has slowed to levels below pre-pandemic rates, achievement gaps are not only widening but, in some cases, surpassing what was previously considered the lowest point.

“It’s our goal to create a fun and positive culture for both our team and students,” Brett added. “During my football career, I’ve had the privilege of working with teammates from diverse backgrounds, all united by a common goal.

Mathnasium Scales Across the Globe with Impressive Year-Over-Year Growth

2024-08-19T20:58:42-04:00August 19th, 2024|Tags: , , |

Leader in Math-Only Education Announces Next Era of Development Under the Helm of Newly Appointed CEO 

LOS ANGELES — Mathnasium Learning Centers, an internationally known franchise with over 1,100 math learning centers worldwide, announces impressive mid-year growth for 2024.

  • Since January, the company has signed 58 new franchise agreements and opened 26 new centers across North America and internationally.
  • In North America, the brand saw a 63% year-over-year increase in opened centers, with an additional 25 expected by year-end.
  • Internationally, it saw a 66% increase, with several more openings anticipated this year. Notably, the brand announced its debut into Romania with a Master Franchise Agreement for at least 25 centers over the next six years.

“The enthusiasm generated by Mathnasium’s updated Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which highlights our strong growth and improved unit economics, along with our continued commitment to innovation, has been the key force behind the success of the first half of this year,” stated Kevin Shen, Chief Development Officer of Mathnasium. “We are excited about the positive momentum and look forward to leveraging these strengths as we expand our reach.”

The fast-growing brand has observed a substantial increase in student enrollments due to the ongoing rise in supplemental education, coinciding with a concerning drop in math scores since the pandemic. With recently released data from the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) indicating that growth has slowed to levels below pre-pandemic rates, achievement gaps are not only widening but, in some cases, surpassing what was previously considered the lowest point.

Amid the brand’s accelerated growth, Mathnasium has appointed Tyler Sgro, former Chief Operating Officer, to Chief Executive Officer. His appointment is expected to drive Mathnasium’s focus on development, innovation, and enhanced operational efficiencies, while doubling down on the brand’s commitment to building up students’ lifelong skills of problem-solving and processing.

“Having served as COO of Mathnasium for nearly two years, I’ve already had the privilege to witness firsthand the profound impact that our learning centers can have on students,” said Sgro. “As leaders in the field, we are committed to being part of the solution and driving the academic recovery process for students across the nation. I look forward to leading our team as we continue to innovate and expand our reach, helping even more children build confidence and fundamental skills for future careers.”

The achievements of the brand have not gone unnoticed. In the first half of the year, Mathnasium earned numerous accolades, including a ranking of  #97 in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500#7 in Entrepreneur’s Top Low-Cost Franchisees, inclusion in the Franchise Business Review Top 200, a #84 ranking in Franchise Direct’s Top Global Franchises, and recognition in Franchise Connect’s Top 100 Education Franchises.

Looking ahead, growth plans include expansion into new markets, with a development focus in key regions including ConnecticutRhode IslandMassachusettsMissouriKansasIllinoisNew YorkPennsylvaniaHawaii, and North Carolina, in addition to international expansion.

“Our development plans are ambitious,” added Sgro. “We’re focusing on expanding our presence in the U.S. with strategic openings in key markets, and committed to developing master franchisees globally. We remain dedicated to applying our expertise and resources to support initiatives that empower students, cultivate a love for learning, and close the educational gaps that challenge our nation’s advancement.”

Mathnasium’s proven business model and customized learning plans have contributed to the brand’s sustained success in the industry as it continues to broaden its global reach. Looking ahead, as the brand gears up for the busy back-to-school season, Mathnasium continues to invest in its propriety technology stack to power center operations and assist franchisees in reaching and supporting more students.

  • Jagger Eaton Gives Back to Program that Gave Him the Tools Needed to Reach Full Potential in Math and Life
  • Prizes Include $2,000 Scholarship, Signed Skateboard, Personal Message from Jagger, and More

LOS ANGELES — An exciting kick off to the largest sporting event in the world, Mathnasium Learning Centers, an internationally known franchise with over 1,100 math learning centers worldwide, has launched its first-ever ‘Ace Your Dreams’ scholarship opportunity in partnership with former Mathnasium student, World Champion, and the first U.S. Olympic skateboarding medalist, Jagger Eaton.

The contest, running throughout the August 11th, will award one deserving child a $2,000 scholarship to Mathnasium. The campaign aims to ignite the aspirations of children by encouraging them to draw inspiration from the journey of Eaton and share their own “A+ Moment” of a personal victory or challenge they overcame.

Whether it’s acing a math test, winning a race, exploring a new hobby, hitting a homerun, or mastering multiplication tables, Mathnasium is dedicated to fostering and celebrating victories of all sizes.

Jagger Eaton’s Background: 
Before becoming a World Champion, Eaton attended Mathnasium Learning Center in Mesa, Arizona during his grade school days. Initially struggling to balance his skateboarding with his academics, and unsure of his academic potential, Eaton found inspiration and support at Mathnasium, where he gained the confidence to excel in his studies and pursue his dreams. Eaton, who is competing in front of the world this summer, was excited to collaborate with the brand to recount his journey of success, aiming to inspire students nationwide to recognize the importance of academic learning while celebrating their achievements, big and small.

“Partnering with Mathnasium to offer this scholarship holds deep, personal significance for me,” said Eaton. “My experience with Mathnasium was transformative, not just academically, but in every aspect of my life. During my elementary and middle school years, balancing academics with my passion for skateboarding posed a major challenge. However, Mathnasium quickly became my safety net, and through the guidance of my instructors, my grades started significantly improving and I caught up faster than I ever dreamed I could.”

Entry Details*:

  • Families are encouraged to visit the ‘Ace Your Dreams’ contest page and submit their child’s “A+” moment. They can also take advantage of various fun, downloadable worksheets encouraging strategic thinking and creativity.
  • Post-submission, participants can download a gold medal certificate. By proudly posting a picture of their certificate on social media with the hashtag, #AceYourDreams and tagging Mathnasium’s Instagram page, they will be entered to win a skateboard signed by Jagger Eaton.
  • The grand prize winner will be selected by Jagger Eaton and receive a $2,000 scholarship in the form of a certificate, providing approximately 6 months of complimentary Mathnasium instruction at their local learning center, in addition to a congratulatory cameo video.
  • The contest will officially open for submissions on July 1st, and will close at 11:59 pm PDT on August 11th.
  • The winner will be revealed by Mathnasium on August 31st. They will be contacted directly via social media to coordinate details.

“We are committed to encouraging our youth to value their accomplishments, no matter the magnitude, because we understand how crucial it is for nurturing confidence, motivation, and inspiration,” stated Michael Stanfield, Chief Marketing Officer of Mathnasium. “At Mathnasium, we firmly believe there is no limit to what can be achieved. Partnering with Jagger Eaton to launch this scholarship enables us to empower students nationwide, providing them with a platform to proudly showcase their unique moments of success.”

Mathnasium Learning Centers specializes in math-only tutoring and is committed to providing the world’s best instruction. The goal: teach children math in a way that makes sense to them.

“As a slower learner and avid skateboarder with a dream, Mathnasium provided me a safe and comfortable learning environment to build my math skills from the ground up. They worked with my intense schedule, and helped to boost my confidence both at the skatepark and at the desk,” stated Eaton. “My Mathnasium instructors taught me that triumphs can be as small as landing a new trick to as big as winning a gold medal, and that all victories should be celebrated, both academic, and in life.”

Mathnasium to Debut in Romania, Announces Master Franchise Agreement

2024-06-24T05:32:55-04:00June 24th, 2024|Tags: , , |

Leader in Math-Only Education Continues to Grow International Footprint, Now Spanning 11 Countries

LOS ANGELES — Mathnasium Learning Centers, an internationally known franchise with over 1,100 math-tutoring centers worldwide, announces a new signed master franchise agreement with Ms. Dana Bănică that will bring at least 25 learning centers to Romania over the next six years. This marks an important milestone for the brand—breaking into a new country and growing its global footprint.

Dana Bănică‘s Background

  • Master Franchisee, Dana Bănică, is an experienced and successful entrepreneur with a passion for innovative education. In 2018, Banica became Logiscool’s first Master Franchisee by bringing the coding school to Romania.
  • She established in her country a network of more than 60 coding schools to offer children and teenagers high-quality, engaging, and interactive digital literacy education.
  • Building on her success with Logiscool, Bănică knew it was the right time to bring Mathnasium to Romania. Her ultimate goal is to transform the way Romanian children learn and enjoy mathematics, continuing her mission to provide exceptional educational experiences that inspire and empower the next generation.

“I chose to invest in Mathnasium because I wholeheartedly believe in the brand’s mission and methodology,” stated Bănică. “Drawing from my past experience and witnessing the positive impact of engaging educational programs, I recognized Mathnasium’s potential to truly make a difference in Romania. With its proven approach of making math enjoyable and accessible, Mathnasium aligns perfectly with our objectives. Our aim is to instill a love for math in children and nurture the confidence essential for academic success and beyond. Romania is primed for this transformative shift, and I’m thrilled to play a leading role in this educational revolution.”

The current educational landscape in Romania underscores a noticeable absence of dedicated math tutoring centers, a gap that Mathnasium is ideally positioned to address.

Mathnasium’s Global Footprint

  • In the past two years, the brand has announced projections of opening an additional 25 centers in Vietnam, the brand’s largest international market, and 45 centers in Saudi Arabia.
  • With the news of this signed franchise agreement, company leadership projects international development to grow by more than 25% in 2024, compared to the previous year.
  • There continues to be vast growth potential across IndiaPakistanMalaysiaIndonesiathe PhilippinesSpain, and several South American countries.
  • Mathnasium offers a unique, individualized approach to students worldwide, which can effectively address the diverse needs of students, helping them overcome math challenges and reach their full potential.

“Expanding into Romania is an exciting opportunity for us. The country’s cultural emphasis on education, with over 50% of students in primary and secondary grades using tutoring services, shows their commitment to academic excellence that aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Benjamin Simon, Regional Vice President of International at Mathnasium. “Additionally, Romania’s growing middle class and franchise-friendly environment make it an ideal market for rapid expansion through Master Franchising. We are excited to bring our unique approach to math education to Romanian students and contribute to their academic success.”
