Mila Gleason

Mila Gleason

Owner
Mila Gleason earned a degree in Chemical Engineering from Queen's University in Ontario, Canada. She worked for Honeywell Aerospace as a Six Sigma Black Belt Engineer where she used statistical analysis (math!) to improve processes and profitability. She has served as the math aide for the past ten years in her children's elementary school. She has seen over the years, how a child's confidence deteriorates when they don't excel in math and how small successes can lead the child to love math again. The Mathnasium method relates so well to children and is so effective that when she learned about it, she knew she had to share it with as many people as possible in her community. She is married to Michael who is also a Chemical Engineer and has three kids that love math - Declan 20, Anna 18 and Liam 15. Needless to say, there is a lot of "mathing" in her home and she hopes to spread the love of math to everyone.
