Meet the Team at Mathnasium of London South

Liam Elliott

Liam is a current Western University student working through his second year studying for a B.Sc. in Computer Sciences with a minor in Game Development. He graduated from Saunders Secondary School with Honours and joined Mathnasium at the beginning of 2023. Having previously been a student at Mathnasium in both 7th and 12th grade, Liam gained an interest in helping others with mathematics just like how his instructors helped him. Liam also understands how it feels to struggle with math in school, so that's why he is passionate about giving children the support they need to succeed in their classes. In his free time, Liam loves to play video games and draw, as well as go bowling with friends and swimming in the summer.

Heba Youssef

Hi, my name is Heba and I am a fourth year student pursuing my B.Sc in Mechanical Engineering at Western University. I've always loved working with children and have been around them all my life. Math wasn't my easiest subject, but I was fortunate enough to have amazing teachers that took the time to teach me at my own pace. Now all I want to do is math! My goal is to help kids realize how easy math can be, and help them gain confidence in themselves through their knowledge of math. I like tinkering with things, so during my free time, I like to try to Cad model solution and prototype them using my 3D printer.

Adriana Rodrigues

Adriana has a B.E.Sc. in Software Engineering from Western University. She believes that learning works best when it is made enjoyable, and any subject can be interesting when taught in the right way. She also believes that everyone can learn math if they are given the opportunity to learn at their own pace. Adriana hopes to use her degree to create interactive experiences to help make learning easier and more fun. In her spare time, she likes to draw, play video games, and read books.
