I have never gone here
RSM has 100% boosted my mathematics skills and benefited me greatly over the 5 years that Ive went. It is indeed expensive, but incredibly worth it. The teachers, however, are diverse in their methods, and sometimes, they dont teach effectively, giving the impression that RSM is simply out for the money. But if you land on a good teacher, the experience is a fun and extremely beneficial ride for sure.
My two kids have been doing great for three years now. They understand, they do their homework with minimum help--just an occasional question--and they are ahead of their classmates at school (except those who also attend RSM or other math programs). The material is not easy and is way ahead of the level at school. So, contrary to some of the general statements in some of the reviews here, they must be teaching them something there.
The school has a very rigorous curriculum to develop strong mathematical skills for the kids. I highly recommend the school to anyone who wants to improve his/her analytical skills. There are many opportunities for math competitions at various levels. The curriculum has prepared my sons very well in these competitions. I would give it a five stars program.
My son has been attending RSM Metrowest for 7 years and it has been an amazing experience. The head of school, Dr. Anna Charny, is a passionate and talented educator, and every teacher we have had over the years has shown genuine concern for the development of math skills in my child. The program combines structured class learning with a substantial amount of homework (paper and online), and thus, advances math skills and develops a strong work ethic from a young age. In addition, the school offers extensive resources to support children in and out of the classroom. The effectiveness of the program is evident in test and competition results. My child attained the highest score in the US in his IGCSE math examination, having taken it a year early, and the credit goes entirely to Dr. Charny and the RSM Metrowest outstanding teachers.
My son joined this school 7 years ago,he not only learned math but also got the ability to learn math by himself, he did all his homework all by himself. Last year he got a perfect score on MOEMS(E).The school is well organized on curriculum and scheduling, there are phone calls and emails when schedule changed, like holidays or snow days, that is very helpful.
My kids attended RSM for the past 4 years. They found it to be extremely helpful in advancing their math skills and making them, not only well prepared, but also more confident and advanced in their middle and high school math.They do give homeworks that kids needs to work on at home. However, I found this to be beneficial as extra practice did help my kids to become faster and more used to tackling various forms of math problems.
Some teachers are poor quality in teaching.Feel the school cares more about collecting tuition than a students learning benefit.Feel we(parents and student) waste our time and money.Very disappointed.
All three of my boys have studied at the Russian School of Math and it has helped them to understand advanced concepts as well as prepare for taking both standardized tests as well as general school testing. It requires a high level of dedication from the child and parents, but it is worth it.Laura Beusch
I have been going to Russian Math for over five years now, and I can say that it has been a tremendous help to my math abilities. Although at first it may seem challenging and confusing, especially if (like I did) you start mid-year, there are tutoring sessions or free homework help classes available to catch up. At first, I did not realize the huge benefit that I was receiving to my math education and would complain about homework, class, etc. Now, I see how Russian Math has helped me succeed with math in and out of school. I have had wonderful teachers throughout my time here who have bolstered my interest in math. Although some of them seemed strict at times, it was purely to push the students to succeed. My only complaint is that as the class levels go up, the class times get longer as well. Four hours at once (high school level classes) is a long time to stay focused, but it is possible to split up your classes between different days of the week.
My son love to go to the class learn and play, and he is confident in his math abilities.
Our daughter is currently in her sixth year at RSM in Framingham. She has had extremely caring teachers and has been appropriately challenged each year. Strongly recommend.
My son had a wonderful experience at RSM, Framingham, his mathskills improved considerably and was challenged enough to participate in competitions!! Needless to say his school math became very easy for him.
I sent my son to RMS framingham 6 years ago. He learnt a lot. Great teachers and teaching materials! Very well organization! He moved from regular class to advanced years ago and last year he was moved to honors class. Usually, he struggled a little bit at the beginning, but he adjusted and fit in to the class quite well later. The on-line homework is the high-light. The questions are well chosen and help students to get the concepts smoothly.It is luck to have a RMS nearby if you want to have your kids to be good on math but your school could not provide enough.
My twin boys have been attending RSM MetroWest center, Framingham for the past 5yrs and I can attest that it has really helped them to get a solid foundation in advanced Math concepts. The curriculum is challenging and well advanced than what they do in public schools. Luckily we had very good teachers at RSM all these years who were able to motivate kids to do their best at Math.Study material and home work assignments are a big plus. If you diligently do the RSM assignments you can easily ace the school work. You will definitely reap benefits if you are a dedicated RSM student and do all your assignments.
Loginova inflates the scores and grades for some children and minimizes scores for others. She will not give you a copy of any tests or show your mistakes. Such a shame.
Both our kids attended RSM and I highly recommend this school. RSM not only instills solid fundamentals in mathematics but also improves students analytical thinking. Opportunities to take challenges like Math Olympiad, Math Kangaroo and also monthly quizzes helped our kids to take any competitive test with confidence. We are grateful to RSM Framingham for providing a wonderful learning environment for our children.
I strongly recommend RSM Framingham. My daughter attended 6 years of RSM classes and took 2 Summer classes as well. She is now preparing to go to a rigorous high school and she placed into the highest level for her grade and she is not a math kid. Thus RSM gets objective results.But that was not our purpose for sending her to RSM and RSM is not about getting slight advantages in taking exams.The mission of RSM is that the staff recognize that leanint mathematics and its concepts well requires extra time that is often not given in standard schools. Poor math preparation often leads to math phobia in later education that can severely curtail opportunities—not just which college your kid goes to but their entire career. RSM can prevent this problem.Our daughter started in 2nd grade which was key to her success. She liked her teachers and found the classes engaging as there is a lot of classroom interaction. I am not going to lie and say she always wanted to go or liked doing her homework—no normal kid would. But as time went by, she acknowledged that it helped her in regular school. After a few years at RSM she would report she already understood a “new” topic being taught at her public school. I don’t think she’ll ever think she cannot do math—she knows it requires work—but it can be done.RSM offers training for math contests if you are interested. We did not pursue that training and its distinctly separate from the standard classes which are the main focus of RSM. We found the staff to be enthusiastic, helpful and professional.In looking at some of the other reviews, I’m compelled to re-emphasize several points. First, it IS a school—your kid will need to put in the (necessary) time to learn. You get out what you put in. Second, it helps to be involved as a parent and decide what’s realistic for your child. The staff at RSM are practical, they know children have other stuff to do but they don’t lower their standards. There’s probably at least 1-2 hours of homework per week + the actual class time. My suggestion is don’t over schedule your kid or use RSM as an after-hours childcare center. My daughter was willing to get the extra education, but she was not interested in taking multiple classes and that’s probably a good idea for many, if not all children.In summary, I think RSM offers a very valuable experience for kids that will pay off for the rest of their lives.
This math school, is just awful. The teachers teach barley anything and dont even give you any help if needed. Dont send your kids hear they will have a miserable time and get yelled at.Total rating -1/5
Our son goes to RSM Framingham, his teacher Irina Kamergorodsky is really kind and loves her work. He is in 3rd grade and he is so proud that his classmates at public school think that he is smart. At RSM students learn new things ahead of public school, they have a lot of logic tasks, at public school I think that they spend more time on simple tasks and on memorizing with help of online programs like Xtra math.My son gets 100% at math tests at regular school, in RSM his test results are usually a bit lower result because its more complicated, nevertheless he really enjoys going to RSM. Its a good enrichment and being among the kids who eager to learn also helps to motivate. I forgot when was the last time when he needed any help with math in regular school and his belief that he is talented in math ads to his self esteem. He participates in international math competitions and even though that he doesnt win, he knows that he is good at math. We started going there 2 years ago and I definitely see results. Strongly recommend.
Both our kids have been going to Russian School of Math in Framingham, MA for several years. One needed extra boost for math for her school, whereas our second one loves math and goes to RSM for a more challenging math environment than what his school offers.The RSM curriculum is excellent and advanced. It helps prepare the kids ahead of time for their school work. RSM also prepares kids for competitive exams, which one of our kids have participated and excelled in.The teachers in RSM can, however, be a mixed bunch. From what I hear from our kids, they have had both great teachers and not-so-good teachers. However, our primary interest in following the curriculum and we helped them with their home work and preparing for the test. For this reason, we would recommend kids to RSM.
Every parent hopes there is a magic booster to his/her child so the child can be more advanced in a particular area of interests. Example of this booster could be a very strong sports club, a wonderful music teacher, etc. In terms of maths learning, my wife and I found the magic booster at the RSM. My daughter started RSM in her 5th grade and my son started RSM in his 1st grade. Since then, we have been blessed with the assurance that we should not be worrying about math for our children any more. They have both won awards in math competitions at the local and national levels and math at their regular schools has just been too easy.What initially drove us to the RSM was its reputation. After 5 years in the RSM family, we can attest that reputation is real. Before our kids went to the RSM, my wife and I often struggled to find the proper math materials to let them work on during extracurricular time. We also tried learning centers such as Kumon. But the results were disappointing. After they got into the RSM, our children liked the materials offered at RSM, challenging and stimulating. The teachers were knowledgeable and eager to answer all the questions they had. The learning environment is also a plus. They are sitting in a classroom filled with other eager and motivating students. It is difficult to NOT pay attention to the learning and NOT put their best effort. My daughter graduated from the RSM one year ago and is now a student at a competitive prep school. She has mentioned to us that the RSM has allowed her to build a solid foundation and interest in Math and continue to excel in a very competitive environment.If you have the desire to put your kids in the best Math program available and have the peace of mind that you don’t need to worry about their math any more, the RSM should be on the top of your list.
This math school is just terrible. They dont teach you much and you pay tons for it. the teachers dont teach you anything making you struggle on the homework. then they yell at you for not getting a perfect score on the homework.
It is awful, they give you packets and dont teach then dont care then give you a LOT OF HOMEWORK Uggghh...
I hate this place. Teachers do not teach. Waste of time. Would rate 0 if I could
