Peter Markovitz and David Ullendorff were pioneers in the education industry, recognizing in the 1990’s that students need a solid understanding of mathematics in order to be successful both in school and in life. The two men saw a vast disconnect between student’s learning skills and the math curriculum they were taught in school, and set out to resolve this issue. As a result, they founded Mathnasium—a math-only learning center that strives to provide the best instruction in the world. Through this center, their goal is to teach children how to think, and build their skills and confidence so that they can reach their full academic potential. To help them achieve this goal, the two men sought out Larry Martinek, a beloved educator, teacher trainer and curriculum consultant. Under Larry’s guidance, the Mathnasium team spent years perfecting an effective teaching method and materials, which became the now famous Mathnasium MethodTM. Mathnasium of Arlington Heights is the premier math learning center in the area, applying the Mathnasium Method to help children understand math at their own levels and reach their full potential.
