Cave Creek / Our Team
Betsy Washburn

Betsy Washburn

Owner/Center Director
Betsy grew up in Glendale, Arizona, and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Business Management from Arizona State University. In 1995, Betsy moved to Southeast Missouri where she obtained her teaching certificate and began teaching junior high and high school mathematics. Betsy has 11 years classroom experience in teaching mathematics and has a passion for helping students find success in math. Betsy has also earned a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governor’s University. While in Kansas City, Missouri, Betsy was lucky to be the Center Director for Mathnasium of Blue Valley, a very successful center in Overland Park, KS. This experience fueled a strong passion for the Mathnasium method and helping students make sense of math. Betsy has two grown children, Cole and Riley. They, as a family, recently returned to the Phoenix area and love it. In her spare time, Betsy loves to read, travel, spend time with her family.

Tammie Yoakum

Owner
Hello, my name is Tammie Yoakum, and I grew up in Glendale with my sister/co-owner, Betsy. Before I started working in the center fulltime, I had a 30-year career in the premium finance industry. I was blessed to have that career, but Mathnasium is a ton more fun. The best part of being at Mathnasium is to see the "aha" moments and to see a students confidence grow. When I'm not working, I like spending time with my family and friends. I also love music, movies, reading and traveling.

Aliya Carrera

Hi! My name is Aliya Carrera and I am a 2022 graduate from Pinnacle High School. I've been at Mathnasium for more than 2 years. I've grown so much from my time at the center and I'm excited to see how many lives I can continue to change and improve! Math is a tough subject for many, but I'm here to make it the universal language to all. In my free time, I love to draw/create art, and hang out with family and friends.

Kameron Cochrane

Online Instructor
Hello! My name is Kameron Cochrane. Math has always been a fascinating and useful subject for me in school, so I decided to join the Mathnasium team to help share the world of mathematics to kids in fun and interactive ways. Besides my studies, I am involved in theater, biological research and volunteering for a variety of organizations.

Sasha Patel

Hi! My name is Sasha, and I am a senior at Pinnacle High School. I love hanging out with my friends, reading, and listening to music in my free time. I really enjoy math because I like analytical thinking and problem solving. Helping students find the joy in math has been a passion of mine for over 5 years, and I look forward to inspiring more students while working at Mathnasium!

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.

What I love about Mathnasium is the ability to teach problem-solving skills and make math make sense, while also making a student smile.
