What do you like most about learning?
You are never too young or too old to learn. I am a big proponent of life long learning.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
I think the first and biggest barricade that students face on the road to becoming proficient in math is the preconceived notion that "math is hard." Many children learn that at a young age and grow to believe that. Yes, it can be challenging, but what isn't at first? Once you help dispel that myth, you can start building on that.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
That is a hard question. For younger students, it is teaching them those base fundamentals that they will see over and over again. For our older students, it would be geometry. Or, maybe, algebra. Or, maybe, word problems...
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I try to create a fun environment, with fun days and rewards for mastering challenging topics and working hard. I am also the crazy math lady that has a two-sided sign (one side says "Math is Fun" the other says "I Love Math") that gets pulled out as necessary.

What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
Love working with little kids on great foundations.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I make math fun by connecting it to real life, using interactive activities, and encouraging students to explore different ways to solve problems. I want students to feel confident in their abilities and enjoy learning new concepts.

What do you like most about learning?
I like how even my mistakes can help me learn.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
My biggest impact is helping students become confident in themselves.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I love teaching the fundamentals because it is essential for the rest of math.

Rani

What do you like most about learning?
I love when something is really difficult to learn and I finally understand it.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
I helped a student go from failing math one semester to passing the next with an A!
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
Any type of high school math, it helps give me a refresher on the foundations of my math courses.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I like engaging with students about their lives outside of Mathnasium so they are excited to come in and talk to me. I also try not to put pressure on them when they aren't understanding something and try a different angle since everyone learns differently!
Makena
Instructor
Education:
I graduated from Prospect High School, and I am currently a Freshman at Colorado State University.
Years of experience teaching math:
1 year
What do you like most about learning?
I like the discovery aspect. I’m naturally a curious person so I love finding out how things work!
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
I never pressure my students to be correct. If they are struggling with a concept, I encourage them to not give up. Having the confidence to try is an essential skill in itself. I know I’ve made an impact when one of my students acknowledges that something is hard, but still has the determination to work through it.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I’ve always liked any kind of algebra!
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I try to get to know them and their personal interests when time permits throughout the session. I ask about their hobbies, sports, pets, etc… I also incentivize my students to get their work done by offering to play games with them on their break.
Kira
Instructor
Education:
I have a High school diploma from Prospect High School, and I'm going to UIC (University of Illinois-Chicago) as a freshman starting this fall!
Years of experience teaching math:
1 year
What do you like most about learning?
I love how in learning, when you begin one topic, you silently reinforce everything else. Learning algebra teaches you the basics of geometry, reading literature shows you the roots of history, everything is intertwined! Learning is one big book, and all the chapters are interlinked.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
I used to volunteer to tutor for a refugee firm, and helped high-school students from around the world who had to flee their country due to war. After around 4 weeks of working with one student on passing an Algebra exam that was required for a high school diploma, he thanked me for my help. It was the happiest I had ever seen a student, and experiences like that, knowing that I can make a change in my community, even if it is just through teaching.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I love teaching algebra! It's one of the most applicable forms of math, and being able to relate it to modern-day topics and getting real-world use out of math is what makes math so important to me.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
By being engaging and coming to Mathnasium with a smile on my face, making the students laugh and hearing their stories from school, sports, and band makes it all worth while. Being a positive person with my students helps them stay motivated, and that motivation is what lets them have fun with their work, and keep them inspired to learn math.
