MathSeed - Fremont Mission - Fremont, California

My son started with Mathseed's competition math class about 1.5 years ago when he was in 2nd grade. We chose the school despite it being far from our home because I was attracted to the curriculum -- Unlike traditional math schools which put emphasis on math drills and computation, Mathseed's curriculum focused on developing critical thinking and problem solving skills. With that foundation, students were well prepared to handle challenging problems such as those in math olympiads and national contests.

I still remember a conversation I had with my son's teacher (one of the owners), Jack, about 2 weeks after enrollment. He shared with me his observation -- While our son was bright, he had two bad habits that hindered his progress: 1) He overly relied on mental math and, 2) he solved problems without showing detailed steps and when he did his handwriting was confusing. Both resulted in careless mistakes he could have avoided. I was quite impressed as Jack was indeed spot on and care deeply about his students. Eventually, we were able to correct those bad habits.

Fast forward 1.5 years later, our son has flourished under the tutelage of Jack and Megan. I am still in awe at how much he has improved over such a short time -- He literally went from making silly mistakes all the time to now, winning multiple national math competitions. I don't think it would have been possible without the support and guidance of Mathseed. And my daughter is now enrolled in the program too!

Highly recommend!

Mathseed is wonderful! The teachers are kind, patience and knowledgeable. My kid improved a lot in math just 3 months after she goes to Mathseed. They teach Singapore math which is more advance and yet it helps the kids to have a better understanding of the fundamentals. My kids used to be a little behind in school, but ever since she goes to Mathseed, she is no longer behind but now she is even a little above average. She is very happy with her improvement and she loves Mathseed! Highly recommended!

My two daughters are both in mathseed for several years. They feel comfortable with their teachers, directors and classmates. The students of Mathseed have made wonderful achievements in Math Kangaroo, CML, Math Olympia, AMC. My daughters learned a lot of math skills by preparing these math competitions. In mathseed class, 8 students in a small group first tried to slove the math problem independently, then the first student who solved the problem would share her/his idea with the class, at last the teacher would analysis the point. This is a perfect way for students to build their thinking skill. As a good learner in math and parent, I do teach my daughters math at home. But the experiences in Mathseed gave them deep understanding math concepts in a different way by thinking together with the other students. I have already recommended Mathseed to quite a few friends.

My daughter has benefited greatly from going to MathSeed. She has significantly improved in her math skills and has learned so much in such a short period. I'm very impressed with this effective program and the teacher's dedication to help kids learn and gain the confidence they need to excel in Math. So glad I found MathSeed. I highly recommend it!

My daughter has been going to MathSeed for last 3 years and we are very happy! She looks forward to her competitive math class every week and enjoys solving problems with other kids. The teacher is very caring and provides a stress free environment for the kids.

I joined Mathseed 2 years ago. All of my kids enjoy the time there. The reason I joined was the math challenges and the critical thinking enhancement.
After 2 years, I saw my girl (5th grade) has a higher confidence in her math and asked to joined Math Olympiad herself. My boy (3rd grade) has more interested in advanced math and loves the challenge problems.
Winning the competitions is a bonus.

Highly recommended!

My 8yo son has been attending Mathseed for the past 2 years. We have noticed improvement on accuracy and speed, and overall confidence in math. Mathseed is the only place we have found that teaches and follows the common core curriculum using the Singapore math technique, which uses a lot of visual cues/ graphs/ word problems to demonstrate a concept.

My kid went to mathseed for 3 years; I am so impressed to see her growth. Not only that she learned how to do advanced/competition math, but more important she learned how to self study new math concepts by herself (she is 3rd grade now). Mathseed is a great math institution if you want your kids to explore different math concepts and do an excellent job in math competition. This is also a good choice for parents who are unhappy with public school standard math program or kids who feel school math is too easy and want to learn more challenging math.
