Granada Hills / Our Team

Larry

Creator of the Mathasium Method

Larry Martinek has spent his entire career finding a better way to teach math. From inner city public schools, to acclaimed magnet schools, to leading private and parochial schools, Larry has served as both a classroom teacher and as an educational consultant. 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. The Mathnasium Method developed by Larry is implemented in our center by our trained instructors. Our instructors are not only passionate about math, they are also passionate about helping students understand, appreciate and excel in math.

Ovsanna

Ovsanna is currently pursuing her bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematical Sciences while also studying Electrical Engineering at CSUN. Her passion for math developed during high school where her calculus teacher showed her both the applications of math and the joy in solving difficult problems. She hopes to instill this passion within her students and ensure that each and every one of them develops a strong foundation in mathematics which can be fun and rewarding with the right guidance and knowledge.

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.
