Andrea Volf
Assistant Center Director
Andrea Volf is the Assistant Center Director at Mathnasium and a nationally recognized mathematics educator with more than 30 years of experience in teaching, curriculum development, teacher leadership, and mathematics education. Since joining Mathnasium in January 2025, she has been dedicated to helping students build confidence, strengthen problem-solving skills, and discover the joy of mathematics.
Andrea earned a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and English, a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and completed post-master’s graduate coursework equivalent to 36 credit hours in Mathematics Education. Her strong academic background has provided the foundation for a career centered on excellence in mathematics instruction, curriculum development, and educational leadership.
Prior to joining Mathnasium, Andrea taught Algebra and 8th-grade mathematics in Lincoln Public Schools for more than 25 years. During her tenure at Irving Middle School, she served as the Mathematics Department Chair for several years and coached the school’s MathCounts team for more than 15 years. Under her leadership, Irving consistently ranked among the top two teams in Nebraska, earning numerous state-level honors.
Following her career with Lincoln Public Schools, Andrea taught Algebra for seven years at Southeast Community College, where she continued her passion for helping students build strong mathematical foundations.
For 20 years, Andrea also taught at the Nebraska Scholars Academy at Hastings College, working with highly gifted middle school students from across the state. Her course, The Art of Mathematics, encouraged students to explore the beauty, creativity, and elegance of mathematics beyond the traditional classroom.
Andrea has been an active leader in the mathematics education community throughout her career. She served on the Board of Directors for the Nebraska Association of Teachers of Mathematics (NATM) and on the board of Phi Delta Kappa, an international professional association for educators.
Recognized for her expertise in mathematics instruction, Andrea was one of only two Nebraska teachers selected to collaborate with Dr. Rick Billstein at the University of Montana on the development of a STEM-based mathematics curriculum. Alongside 49 educators from across the United States, she spent three weeks in Missoula designing innovative curriculum materials that integrated mathematics and STEM education.
Andrea has long been a pioneer in the use of technology in mathematics instruction. When Lincoln Public Schools adopted new graphing calculators, she rewrote the district’s instructional programs so they aligned with the calculators used by students and teachers. Her work in integrating graphing technology into middle school mathematics led the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) to invite her to present workshops on effective graphing calculator instruction. She presented at two national NCTM conferences, as well as numerous regional and state conferences, sharing practical strategies with mathematics educators from across the country.
Today, Andrea brings this wealth of classroom experience, leadership, curriculum development, and student-centered instruction to Mathnasium. Throughout her career, she has remained committed to one guiding belief: every student can learn mathematics when given the right encouragement, instruction, and opportunity. She is passionate about inspiring confidence in learners of all ages and helping students realize their full mathematical potential.
