Dylan Urias

Lead Instructor

My name is Dylan and I am a graduate student studying Statistics at ASU.  I have always wanted to teach, so Mathnasium is a good fit for me.  Outside of school and work, I like playing bass guitar, volleyball, pickleball, working out and spending time with my family and friends.

Kaylee Rollins

Instructor

Hi, I’m Kaylee and I’m a senior at Cactus Shadows High School! I love teaching and working with kids and helping them learn! In my free time, I enjoy singing and playing the piano.

Sameed Husain

Instructor

Hi, my name is Sameed! I am a current sophomore at Mountain Ridge High School. I enjoy math because once you start understanding, it seems like a puzzle and is very fun. That is one of the reasons I like to teach here. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends and looking at cars. 

Our Mathnasium Mission

Teach children math so they understand it, master it, and love it. Math can change their lives, and they can change the world.
