Hi, I’m Saanvi! I’m currently in my final year at Henry Wise Wood High School, and I’m hoping to pursue Biochemistry in post-secondary education. Throughout high school, I've come to appreciate just how important it is to understand math, not just on the surface level, but the reasoning and concept behind it. Mathnasium gives me the opportunity to encourage all grade-levels to further their understanding. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music, shopping, and meeting new people! :)
Hi, I’m Nila! I’m currently a grade 12 student at FFCA High School and I plan to pursue engineering at the University of Calgary. From a young age, I’ve developed a deep love for math as it not only challenges me but also encourages critical and creative thinking. Beyond solving equations, I’m passionate about helping others build confidence in their abilities and appreciate the beauty of problem-solving. At Mathnasium, my goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, learning from them, and pushing past their comfort zones. I strive to help them develop skills they can carry beyond the classroom and apply to real-world challenges.
Besides math, I enjoy binge-watching TV shows, baking, and spending time with my family!
Hi, I'm Isabel! I am a second-year Biomedical Engineering student at the University of Calgary, also pursuing a minor in Digital Engineering. I've loved math since I was young, and I have a deep passion for teaching and helping others. Working at Mathnasium has given me the opportunity to make a positive impact on children's lives, which is something I hope to continue throughout my career in biomedical applications. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a student's face light up when they finally grasp a challenging concept or leave feeling confident for an upcoming test. In addition to teaching math, I have also taught French and regularly volunteer in outreach events to promote STEM education among younger individuals. I hope that by developing a student’s foundation in math, they will be more confident and aspire to pursue math-related opportunities in the future!
Outside of school and teaching, I enjoy reading, playing sports, making and listening to music, and spending time with friends and family!
Hi, I’m Hammad! I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Calgary, specializing in Aerospace and Energy Systems. Mathematics has always been an integral part of both my academic path and professional career. Alongside over four years of full-time experience in the oil and gas sector, I have continuously nurtured my passion for teaching by tutoring math for the past eight years.
To me, math is far more than equations and formulas—it is a powerful tool for reasoning, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving. At Mathnasium, my goal is to help students view math as approachable and rewarding, while fostering the confidence they need to overcome challenges. I firmly believe that mastery in math comes through consistent practice, learning from mistakes, and developing resilience, and I strive to create a supportive environment that encourages students to grow through the process.
Beyond academics, I enjoy watching movies, listening to music, playing and following soccer and tennis, and swimming on a weekly basis.
Hi, I’m Nishit! I am currently in Grade 12 at Henry Wise Wood High School and hope to continue my education at the University of Calgary next year.
Math has been my favorite subject in school my entire life. I believe that math isn’t just about solving numeric equations, but rather about building problem solving skills, logical thinking, and confidence that carry over into many other areas of life. I know that math can sometimes feel really overwhelming, but I enjoy breaking down complex problems into simpler steps to make it less intimidating for others. At Mathnasium, I want kids to become resilient to mistakes and grow as a successful individual.
Outside of learning, I love to play ice hockey, participate in STEM research programs in the city, and be a part of my school’s robotics team!
Hi, my name is Angelica. I have a strong analytical and engineering background, and I’m especially passionate about breaking down complex ideas into simple, manageable steps. I apply this way of thinking not only to math, but also to how I approach challenges and everyday situations.
I believe learning math is not just about memorizing formulas and finding the right answer, but about developing critical and structured thinking, along with strong problem-solving skills. I enjoy helping students build clarity, confidence and independence in their learning through a thoughtful and supportive approach, creating a positive and encouraging classroom environment.
Hi, I’m Jade! I’m currently a second-year Chemical Engineering student at the University of Calgary. I’ve always enjoyed how math challenges the way we think and helps us break down complex ideas into something manageable and logical. I believe that with the right support, anyone can grow more confident in math, because it’s not about being “naturally good,” but about practice, patience, and understanding.
My goal at Mathnasium is to help students feel comfortable asking questions, learning from mistakes, and realizing that they’re capable of more than they think. I think every student deserves the opportunity to understand math in a way that makes sense to them, without feeling intimidated or discouraged.
Aside from academics, I enjoy working out, exploring new places, baking, playing the guitar, and reading books!
