Larry Martinek, Chief Instructional Officer, Developer of Mathnasium Program. Larry has spent his entire career finding a better way to teach math.

He has designed curriculum, teaching strategies, and teaching materials to help students and teachers learn math more effectively. He has trained teachers in the art and science of boosting students' ability to “do” math, thereby increasing students' math scores and feeling of self-worth. Larry is the developer of Mathnasium’s educational program – one of the most comprehensive and innovative curriculas ever produced for teaching math. While Larry is not an Instructor at our Centre, he is a valuable asset we can call on to ask about specific students' scenarios for guidance and advice. This has helped to make visits more productive and enjoyable for many of our students.

Sash

Hi, my name is Sash. I am currently attending Sheridan college where I am finishing studying Information Systems Security. I have known about my passion for teaching since I was a high school student where I participated in the Counting on You program, through which high school students volunteer to tutor students at their closest middle school after school hours. As more time has passed, I have developed skills and pursued advancement with the end goal of teaching which is what led me to Mathnasium of Oakville. I enjoy working at Mathnasium Of Oakville for a lot of reasons some of which are the fact that Mathnasium is truly trying to help students excel and aims to work on not only their strong points but to develop their weaknesses till students are well rounded and confident in their basics before advancing to more complex math. It gives students a steppingstone and gets them more confident when approaching thinking-based questions. Mathnasium of Oakville also caters to each students’ individual needs and placement with their curriculum to help them advance at their own pace but also alongside their class at school. fun Fact: Did you know that there are multiple levels of infinity in math. Some infinities are bigger than others.
