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.

Deven Frauenhofer

Assistant Center Director


Deven earned his degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where his lifelong interest in mathematics continued to grow. He has enjoyed math since elementary school and especially loves helping students from all backgrounds build their mathematical skills and discover the many ways math applies to the real world.

Deven hopes that by sharing his enthusiasm for mathematics, he can inspire students to develop their own interest in the subject and see how math can be useful in their everyday lives.

When he’s not at Mathnasium, Deven enjoys surfing, cooking, and game development.
