Favorite Number: 2 - no particular reason, it's just always been my favorite!
Favorite Math Joke: There are 3 kinds of people in this world: those who can do math, and those who can't.
I love Mathnasium because: It is great to see the excitement and happiness of students who have really struggled with something when they finally get it, gaining confidence in themselves and their abilities.
Jennifer has a unique perspective that allows her to understand your kids and help them.
She is a successful business owner and homeschooling mom of 3! She has the perspective of an educator as well as a busy parent and knows the challenges of both. Jennifer knows how to engage the kids and hold their interest. She keeps them progressing in math in a way they will actually enjoy!
Jennifer has always had a strong grip on Mathematics, earning her B.B.A in Finance at Southwest Texas State University and then owning and operating a successful business for over 10 years in the Brazos Valley alongside her husband James.
After finding Mathnasium and seeing what it can offer kids, they made a tough decision to sell their successful business with its comfortable lifestyle and start all over again. As scary as that sounds, they knew that parents in the Brazos Valley wanted the best for their children at an affordable price. There was already so much available for the many college students in Bryan/College Station, but not for elementary, middle, and high school students. Now, after being open for several years and expanding to multiple locations, we have hundreds of amazing success stories as a result of our passionate instructors, inspiring learning environment, teaching style and curriculum at Mathnasium! Let us help your student!Favorite Math Joke: There are 3 kinds of people in this world... Those who can count, and those who can't.

Favorite number: 12 - base 12 systems, like our calendar of 12 months or a foot meaning 12 inches, remain important even though most measurement is done with base 10's. The fact that 12 refuses to become obscure despite other systems makes it cool in my eyes.

Favorite number: 7: Seven has been my lucky number since I was a child, in one math class we learned that most single digit numbers had a rule to easily find out if a larger number is divisible by the single digit.
