Math Plus is a phenomenal program, it really propels the kids forward in math. While initial concepts may seem difficult to grasp, and so many areas are covered, Bella said it would be fine, and it was! She lays a great foundation, like planting seeds, and by mid year they take root, grow and bloom. It’s been so worthwhile for the kids – to have something challenging and fun, to see their confidence develop and them excel. Bella is great with the kids, very encouraging and supportive if they need help. We’ve been happy to refer our friends, many of whom have switched from other programs – MathPlus covers more material and the tuition is slightly less, and month to month. Highly recommend!

MathPlus School is an amazing school. I don’t have enough words to praise the academic level of this school.
My 7-year-old son has been a student here for a couple of months, and his progress is evident. He can solve advanced problems now.
Mrs. Bella Gersht, the math teacher, is excellent. She is very kind and patient with all children. Her teaching methods are great, as well as her math books and materials. Students can easily follow her explanations and solve problems without support. Her passion for math is contagious, and my son loves that.
I highly recommend sending your kids here.

MathPlus was a life saver during the Covid beginning. My son (7yo at the time) got signed in the program and I was confident right away that he will be learning a lot while his regular school was figuring out the situation. As a parent I have nothing but positive things to say about the MathPlus. My son simply loves math now and is waiting for new interesting and manageable material. The curriculum they offer is a great opportunity to improve or advance your child’s knowledge of mathematics. It covers not only basic math, but also has an early introduction of geometry and algebra. The lessons are over zoom, but my now 8 years old son is sitting through them with no problems, the time goes by fast and he is learning through understanding and not just memorizing. He is getting smarter every day and is improving his math level with every class. We took a spring’20 semester, a summer class and are currently enrolled as well. I will definitely recommend MathPlus and their amazing teacher. A few of my friends got signed up this year and their kids love it as well.

Our girls have been with MathPlus for almost 2 years. Not only does the program provide our daughters with foundational knowledge of mathematics but it also sparks their joy and passion for learning. They have improved tremendously over a short period of time. As parents, we are pleased with the progress. We highly recommend MathPlus to families who want a challenging and comprehensive curriculum for their children.
Alisha and William Nguyen (Parents of MathPlus School Students)
After our kids started going to MathPlus School, we saw a significant progress in their math knowledge. We also noticed how they enjoy going to the classes as the tasks are entertaining and fun! The variety of problems and the way how class and home work is presented is great. Also, Bella is a very nice and talented teacher. We would highly recommend MathPlus school to the parents, who want to bring their kids to the next level in math.
Larysa Zakirova
We joined MathPlus when my daughter was in 3rd grade as her teacher at brookline elementary school was concerned about her math ability. My thoughts were that having an additional math practice would help her succeed in the average math level at school. To my surprise she became the best math student in her class by the end of the 3rd grade. We continued to attend MathPlus and my daughter continued to be one of the best students in her grade. And now she will be taking the highest level of math in high school . She plans to attend MathPlus during her high school to work towards preparation for college admissions tests. We really appreciate great job of MathPlus teachers, their attention to every child and enthusiasm about learning math.

I am a big believer that a child – teacher relationship is a foundation for success.
A teacher’s approach to students can greatly affect the results. My son tried pre-k program at another math school and it was a struggle for both of us. The class was too big, he felt lost and never really connected with his teacher; he was miserable I felt guilty and that was the end of it.
So I had my reservations when he started Kindergarten math at Math Plus with Bella this September. Fast forward to 4 months; I am happy and relieved –my son is very engaged, loves coming to class and feels like he is a part of the group. Classes are small (4-5 kids) and it’s the best of both worlds it is still semi private and they also get to interact with other kids and learn together. We are both looking forward to more Math and other programs at Math Plus in the future.

My daughter has been enrolled in Math Plus Saturday morning program since September of 2015. The school has a wonderful and very personalized approach to teaching mathematics. Children are guided in “outside the box thinking” while working through riddles and word problems and simultaneously developing a solid foundation in basic arithmetic skills. The skills acquired in the math school have also been an asset when working through her regular school work. I would recommend this school with confidence to parents seeking an individualized and caring approach to developing math and logic skill while working with younger learners. Wish I knew about this school last year. A fun yet disciplined approach to teaching math.

Bella is a very knowledgeable teacher. She make classes very interesting and engaging for my kids. We’re very happy with our kids progress in math, they love going to Math Plus
Irina Fiksler – Mother of 2 students Max 2nd Grade and Tim Kindergarten
My son started taking math classes with Bella at 3 yo, which may seem early. However she was able to structure the class in such way that would develop their logic, cognitive skills in problem and riddle solving. A year later my son can easily write numbers, solve basic math problems and logically connect the dots. We highly recommend Bella.
Mother of Leon-Lena Kalenjan
From the bottom of my heart, i would like to thank you for the wonderful experience with Pre-K Math program. My son absolutely loves it. I don’t have to ask him twice to go to the class or to do his home work.Classes are very engaging and entertaining. The concept of making stories based on math is very interesting. I can truly state, that my son’s perception of things and logic boosted up. I also like the size of our class. I strongly feel that each child gets enough of your personal attention. It’s very important.
Looking forward to the next year in the Kindergarten program.

Nick is showing a good progress for his math skills. It generally seems his math work is not difficult for him and we believe that Saturday class giving him a stronger math foundation for the future learning. It is providing a helpful preparation for Algebra and Geometry in the middle school. Overall the program has been very helpful.

My 8-year-old son is generally analytical and curious, so I looked for a STEM-type activity for him. I’m so happy that we found Design Squad! The class provides a playful atmosphere for learning on a very wide range of topics. The activities range from learning about ancient Egyptian culture and rituals to building robots, to making natural remedies from bees wax, to science experiments – my son loves the variety! The instructor, Mrs. Nic, has a ton of energy and clearly loves what she does – she is able to engage my son and keep him interested week after week.
Shrabstein, Annat – mother of Ari 8 year old student of Design Squad
I am very impressed with Math Plus school.
My four year old son made a big progress in a very short time and he became very interested in math right away. The number of children in class is very small so each child gets a lot of attention from the teacher.
I am especially grateful to Bella Gersht for her unique teaching strategy. She is very dedicated and professional teacher who goes above and beyond to make sure your child succeeds in math and other sciences.
Katrina Generozov, Doctor of Pharmacy
When we began sending our daughter to MathPlus in third grade, she used to say things like, “I’m not good at math”. We saw gains right away in her understanding and comfort in math. After three years, she was consistently performing at the top of her math class at her French bilingual school. This year, she was recognized for scoring in the top 1% worldwide in Concours Kangourou, a math contest taken by students in French schools around the world. Now she says, “Math is my favorite subject!”
Tamara Kett, mother of 6th grade student
My daughter Renee has been attending MathPluss School since Kindergarten. I have seen her love of learning math increased tremendously and her confidence soars as she understands and solves problems. I am extremely happy with the level of professionalism at MathPlus and the small class size. I am convinced that she is at her advanced level because we started her leaning at a Kindergarten level. The learned techniques continue to make math fun and easy for Renee in the second grade as well.
I highly recommend MathPluss to all parents looking to engage their children and promote the love of learning from an early age.
Simona Shuster Tseglin, parent of MathPlus student.
I have two sons who are attending the 3rd and 5th grades this year. What I can see is that they are interested and very involved. Being quite gifted in math, they still have to spend more than an hour doing their math homework every week, as the problems are complex and challenging. I would like to thank the MathPlus’ dedicated teachers who are helping my children not only to develop the math skills, but also appreciate the beauty of mathematics.
Michael Chumak, Ph.D. in Math, 179 School Graduate
I would just like to say how much I appreciate MathPlus School’s approach to teaching math. The math program has been carefully designed not only to teach the subject at a really challenging level but also to inspire children and develop their genuine interest in math. The teachers at the school are very experienced, knowledgeable and committed to deliver the best math education possible. I am very impressed by my son’s progress in the subject, and I can recommend this program to children looking for a challenging and friendly environment to learn math.

My daughter has been attending MathPlus school for one semester. She is taking Math and Russian Language classes. Lora has already greatly improved the math skills since the beginning of the semester. She can now solve the challenging Olympiad level problems. Thanks to the Russian language class, my daughter can read Russian literature and write in Russian. Thank you MathPlus school for a great program with a wide selection of subjects.
Nina Olchaniy M.S Engineer. 57 Math School Graduate
My children joined MathPlus last year. I was very impressed by the math program level, which goes far beyond the regular school level. My kids finally got a chance to fall in love with math. It is much more than what we could expect from the after school enrichment program.
