Struggle with Math? Scared of failing Math tests? Need to encourage a student? If "yes," this book is for you! Mathaphobia: How You Can Overcome Your Math Fears and Become a Rocket Scientist by Olympia LePoint, M.S. is an empowering, thought-provoking, self-help book exposing the emotional struggles individuals face, while learning to read and use math. Using her own challenges and educational triumph as a backdrop, Olympia LePoint discovers the crippling learning disability Mathaphobia, and does a superior examination into the reasoning behind math fear, through the exploration of distinct Mathaphobia personalities. With a uniquely innovative three-step strategy, Olympia LePoint shares the method to eliminate math fear for good. The award-winning rocket scientist also offers excellent self-help tools and leadership strategies in creating successful learning habits. As a supplemental education resource guide to create math and real-life solutions, this manual helps adults and pre-college students to ace math – all without doing more math problems!

Wow! A book that finally addresses the real issues behind learning math!

As an instructor, I have seen each of the types of students LePoint describes in Mathaphobia. I finally feel like I have a way to address particular learning needs from different students. Thank you so much for writing this book!
As a student, I am eagerly looking forward to applying techniques described in the book for my own obstacles that I face in learning.
As a human striving to be a better person, I am already seeing that obstacles in learning math mirror obstacles in other areas of my life.
LePoint's book is about transforming weaknesses into strengths. She shares how she overcame her own personal hardships in order to show me that I can do the same. Thank you!

I have had the honor of having Miss Olympia as a math tutor. She is able to make math make sense to a person like me, a mathaphobe! If she can help me, she can help anyone! I HIGHLY recommend her methods to make math less stressful for those who are scared or those who just need that extra help to make it make sense. She is the bomb!

I recommend against using Flash for the videos

The accompanying website does not yet have the problem answers the book says it does. Text-based answers with some discussion would be helpful at least until the videos are ready. I recommend against using Flash for the videos. Indeed, the site should ditch Flash everywhere for html5.

If you have trouble with math or anything else this may help

I suggest you skip parts that do not apply to you as they can be tedious and time-consuming. But the parts that apply can change your life.

If you are not good at math this book will absolutely change your life.

As she says, if she could
do it, so can you.

on the verge of perfection

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

While Miss LePoints writing is both inspired and inspirational there are quite a few grammatical errors and I found some passages quite hard work to get through (kindle version). None the less a great tool for students and educators/facilitators like myself - I'm sure most will find this a valuable resource.

A book/manual I can only describe as teetering on the verge of perfection
