Math Centers / Cave Creek / Our Team
Betsy Washburn

Betsy Washburn

Owner/Center Director
Betsy grew up in Glendale, Arizona, and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Business Management from Arizona State University. In 1995, Betsy moved to Southeast Missouri where she obtained her teaching certificate and began teaching junior high and high school mathematics. Betsy has 11 years classroom experience in teaching mathematics and has a passion for helping students find success in math. Betsy has also earned a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governor’s University. While in Kansas City, Missouri, Betsy was lucky to be the Center Director for Mathnasium of Blue Valley, a very successful center in Overland Park, KS. This experience fueled a strong passion for the Mathnasium method and helping students make sense of math. Betsy has two grown children, Cole and Riley. They, as a family, recently returned to the Phoenix area and love it. In her spare time, Betsy loves to read, travel, spend time with her family.

Tammie Yoakum

Owner
Hello, my name is Tammie Yoakum, and I grew up in Glendale with my sister/co-owner, Betsy. Before I started working in the center fulltime, I had a 30-year career in the premium finance industry. I was blessed to have that career, but Mathnasium is a ton more fun. The best part of being at Mathnasium is to see the "aha" moments and to see a students confidence grow. When I'm not working, I like spending time with my family and friends. I also love music, movies, reading and traveling.

Austin Robare

Assistant Center Director
Hi, my name is Austin! I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and moved to Arizona in the summer of 2018. I graduated from the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Science with a degree in Audio Engineering. My strongest loves in life (aside from my family and friends) are math, science and music. I found audio engineering is a fun way to combine all three. Math has been my favorite subject since I was a kid and I have always loved working with kids. I find it very inspiring and fulfilling to help younger generations gain the knowledge and tools that are so deeply important and prevalent throughout their lives. Consequently, Mathnasium is the perfect fit!
