Ricky J. Woo brings a unique blend of high-growth startup grit and global enterprise leadership to the learning center. Having honed his strategic expertise at global titans like Oracle, Ricky specializes in building scalable, world-class environments. After successfully exiting his tech venture and spending a year traveling the globe with his family, he relocated from Australia to California to build a lasting local legacy.
As a Mathnasium Multi-Center Owner, Ricky infuses an entrepreneurial spirit into education, running his centers less like traditional classrooms and more like high-energy training grounds for the next generation of leaders and innovators. As a proud dad of four adventure-loving kids, he knows firsthand that confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving are vital for the future. Ricky teaches his students that complex problems are simply opportunities to grow, helping them master the logic and persistence needed to engineer their own paths.
Outside the center, you’ll find Ricky exploring the outdoors with his family, planning their next adventure, and fueled by plenty of great coffee!

Shayne Galura is a Finance major at California State University, Long Beach, who views mathematics as a strategic puzzle. Much like playing a game of chess, Shayne approaches tutoring with patience and a focus on identifying patterns to help students reach that "click" moment.
At Mathnasium, he enjoys using the Mathnasium Method to meet students where they are, breaking down complex problems into manageable steps. For Shayne, the most rewarding part of teaching is watching a student’s frustration transform into genuine confidence. Outside of the center, he stays active by training for long-distance races, playing volleyball, and sharpening his skills on the chessboard.
Aaron Murillo is a Chemistry major at El Camino College with a profound appreciation for the intersection of mathematics and science. While he excels at solving complex problems, his true passion lies in the human side of education helping students build the confidence they need to succeed.
Within our community, Aaron is known as a natural leader; he is often sought out by his own peers for guidance and academic support, a role he embraces with patience and a genuine desire to see others thrive. He believes that math is a universal language that brings people together, and he treats every student at Mathnasium like a member of the family. When he’s not mentoring the next generation of scientists, Aaron enjoys the harmony of the outdoors while hiking, watching films, or playing guitar.
