Jake Johnson is the Owner and Center Director of Mathnasium of Inverness Corners. He began working with Mathnasium in 2014 after earning his bachelor’s degree in secondary math education from Auburn University, where he also completed a master’s in math education. Jake became Center Director in 2016 and took ownership in 2023.
He loves Mathnasium because it allows him to teach students at their current level rather than simply by grade. Outside of work, Jake enjoys playing basketball, swimming, and watching sports.
Robbie Hedden is a graduate of Samford University with a strong passion for math and problem-solving, particularly in Calculus.

In his free time, Robbie enjoys pursuing service opportunities and supporting young learners in his community.

She believes every child can succeed in math with the right support. Outside the center, Kathryn loves spending time with her husband, working puzzles, playing board games, and going to the movies.
Logan Camp is a senior at Oak Mountain High School who has always enjoyed both math and helping others. Teaching at Mathnasium has given him the chance to combine those interests while developing creative ways to make math fun and approachable. Logan especially enjoys seeing students gain confidence as they master new concepts.
Outside of Mathnasium, he spends his free time playing video games and practicing fencing, a sport he finds both challenging and exciting. Logan is enthusiastic about supporting every student’s growth in math.
Anushka Patel is a junior at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where she is majoring in Neuroscience. A lifelong math enthusiast, she enjoys helping students strengthen their skills and grow more confident in their abilities through her work at Mathnasium.
For Anushka, one of the most rewarding parts of tutoring is watching a student’s hard work turn into success. When she isn’t teaching, she enjoys playing badminton, reading adventure novels, and finding new ways to challenge herself academically.
Hello! My name is Emily Makosky, a senior at UAB studying mathematics with a minor in STEM education. In my free time, I love to go thrifting, read, cook, decorate, play games, and listen to music. I’m interested in fashion, design, politics, learning Spanish, and math (obviously), and Mathnasium, along with the UABTeach program, has made me fall in love with teaching! Not only do I enjoy helping students feel more confident in their math skills; I love being able to connect and hopefully make their days brighter.
Hello, my name is Samuel Pool, and I am a graduate of UAB with a bachelors in Computer and Information Sciences. During the daytime I am a software developer, and in the evenings I very much enjoy also working with the team at Mathnasium. I've always enjoyed math, and I love seeing that spark of sudden understanding in a child's mind when they learn something new. It is very rewarding to me if I'm able to help a student correct an issue in their problem solving and get stronger at math. In my spare time I enjoy cycling, swimming, and the outdoors.
My name is Laura Sellers. I currently work full-time in banking and have a background in event management. I’ve always had a strong understanding of math, and I love seeing it come alive in so many real-life applications. I enjoy making math approachable and helping students build confidence in their skills. I grew up in the Oak Mountain school system and graduated from the University of Alabama with degrees in Marketing and French. In my free time, I like to read, watch sports and cooking shows, and spend time with family, friends, and my pets.
Hey, my name is TJ Rozzelle, and I am a student of Jefferson State, and hopefully Auburn soon, majoring in Materials Engineering. I enjoy spending time outdoors (when said outdoors is not boiling) and also enjoy learning about new things in many sciences. However, I have to say the best part of them all is the application of math as a whole throughout them, and just like math is the language of our universe, it should be fun to speak it, not tough. I enjoy teaching students about math and the complexities of it, and if anything Mathnasium has taught me different perspectives on math as well. There is always more to learn, especially in math; just make sure to have fun doing it.
Teach children math so they understand it, master it, and love it. Math can change their lives, and they can change the world.
Are you interested in changing lives through math? We're looking for outstanding individuals with a high level of commitment who are passionate about teaching math. Find out if there's a Mathnasium position that's just right for you!
