Our staff is built to teach each student individually, to develop the skills they need to thrive in mathematics, and to foster a love of learning.

Jenny Colletti

Director of Education

A Mathnasium team member since 2013, Jenny brings energy and creativity to math instruction. She graduated from the University of Miami with degrees in Mathematics and Sociology and has always been passionate about helping students think critically.  

Jenny believes there's more than one way to solve a problem and loves guiding kids toward strategies that make sense to them. Her favorite moments are when students realize they’re capable—and even excited—about learning math. With a warm, student-centered approach, Jenny makes math both approachable and empowering. 

Elizabeth Fraga

Director of Operations

Elizabeth ensures every Mathnasium center runs with care, consistency, and student-first energy. With a Psychology degree from Florida International University, she understands how kids think and learn, and she uses that insight to create supportive, engaging environments for students and staff.  

A proud mom of two, Elizabeth brings patience, positivity, and purpose to her work, whether she’s managing logistics, encouraging a team member, or cheering from the baseball sidelines. She’s driven by one goal: helping kids grow in both skill and confidence through math. 

Laura Hamel

Owner

Laura co-founded Mathnasium with her husband, Jonathan, as a way to combine their shared love of education and community. A Wake Forest University graduate with a BS in Business, she brings both leadership and heart to the centers.  

As a mom of three boys, Laura understands the challenges families face with academics and the joy of seeing kids thrive. Since opening their first center in 2014, she’s been committed to making math clear and enjoyable, and to creating a space where students grow in confidence, one breakthrough at a time. 

Jonathan Hamel

Owner

Jonathan holds a BA in Economics from Wake Forest and an International MBA through a joint program with the University of South Carolina and Wirtschaftuniversität Wien in Austria. With nearly two decades in finance, he understands how essential math is for success and he sees Mathnasium as the perfect way to help students build those foundational skills.  

A former lacrosse player and current youth coach, Jonathan brings an athlete’s mindset to math learning: practice, persistence, and progress. He’s passionate about helping kids grow into confident problem-solvers, both in school and in life. 

Our Mathnasium Mission

Teach children math so they understand it, master it, and love it. Math can change their lives, and they can change the world.
