Philosophy

As Albert Einstein once said, "Education is not the learning of facts but the training of minds to think". At MWMC, we embody this philosophy. We grew frustrated with the approach schools take to math, teaching a variety of concepts, but only enough to solve a few cookie cutter problems. We take the opposite approach, we offer specialized math tutoring in the Palatine and Schaumburg area to our students so that they can look at a problem they'd never seen before, and break it down to solve it.

About Our Classes

Algebra I

In Algebra 1, students delve into the world of variables, equations, and functions. They gain valuable skills in graphing linear functions, solving quadratic equations, and working with exponents and polynomials. This foundational course sets the stage for more advanced math studies, empowering students to tackle real-world problem-solving with confidence.

Geometry

Welcome to Geometry! In this class, students explore the fascinating realm of shapes, angles, and spatial relationships. They'll learn to identify and classify various polygons, triangles, and quadrilaterals while discovering the principles of congruence and similarity. Through interactive activities, they'll explore the properties of circles, calculate areas and volumes, and dive into transformations like reflections, rotations, and translations.

Counting & Probability

In Counting & Probability, students embark on an exciting journey of mathematical possibilities. They'll master the art of counting techniques, permutations, and combinations to solve problems involving arrangements and selections. Probability concepts will be explored, helping students understand the likelihood of events and outcomes in various scenarios.
