Aimee Call

Assistant Center Director
I have taken All high school requirements for math, AP Calculus BC, Multivariable Calculus, History of Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Problem Solving, Biostastics, Geometry, Discrete Mathematics, Secondary Education Math Teaching Methods, Mathematics Education Practicum Lab, Writing and Technology for Mathematics Instruction, and completed Student Teaching (at Fremont High School). I was the captain of the BYUI Dance Team in college and I also run an online community for people who live chronically ill. I was a teacher at Fremont High School and a volunteer teacher for an elementary in China. I've also taught English at VIPKID (an online ESL program) and done private math tutoring for the past 10 years. I also love to bake sourdough!

Fun Fact: I lived in China for five months between college semesters, teaching English to elementary students. When I moved there, I couldn't speak a word of Chinese, and my students knew very little English. It was an incredible experience to communicate and teach despite the language barrier.

Education: I went to Davis High School, graduated in 2012. I then attended Weber State University starting in 2012 to received my associates degree in General Education. I finished my bachelors degree at BYU Idaho in Math Education, with a minor in Health Education. I student taught at Fremont High School. Only 2 months into my student teaching, a math teaching position opened up at the school. I was hired as a full time teacher, while finishing my student teaching requirements; I was technically a student AND a teacher at the same time for 2 months! I then continued to teach at Fremont the remainder of the year.

Favorite Number, why?: One is the only number that is neither prime nor composite. It has exactly one positive divisor: itself.

Why I Love Mathnasium: I love math! But more than that, I enjoy inspiring others to love math. My goal is to help kids build confidence in a subject that many find intimidating.

Londyn Applonie

Assistant Center Director

I have taken Honors Secondary Math 1-3 and Math 1050 in high school. I was a member of my school's HOPE Squad from seventh grade through graduation. We worked to facilitate better community and friendship within the school. I was also a part of my high school's National Honor Society. In high school I interned at an elementary school and supported kids in their learning of all subjects (but math was my favorite). I love to read and go camping. I also like to play games with my family. I have also recently learned to crochet.

Fun Fact: I have five dogs.

Favorite Number, why?: My favorite number is 57 because it is a prime number and both 5 and 7 are also prime numbers.

Education: I graduated from Fremont High School and am currently in my first year at Weber State University.

Why I love Mathnasium: I love doing math and working with people. I understand that is not the case for everyone but I am excited to help others build their math skills and hopefully learn to love it a little bit more in the process.

I've taken high school math classes through secondary math 3 honors, and last year I took AP statistics! I play French horn in band, and piano in jazz band! Through that, I've been able to play in District and State Honor Bands and even a nine person combo at the University of Utah! I've been a part of National Honors Society for my three years of high school and qualified for the seal of biliteracy in Spanish for the last three years. I'm in Student Government this year representing the senior class in service at Syracuse High. I love to sing, write my own songs, play soccer, draw, and I'm super interested in fashion design. 

Fun Fact: I absolutely love every version of Spiderman, but Andrew Garfield is definitely the best one!

Why I Like Mathnasium: I love being able to teach others! It's so amazing to be able to see their progress and see their confidence grow as they improve.

Sheldon Burrell

Instructor

I have taken Honors Math from seventh to tenth grade. In ninth grade, I got a perfect score on the end of year math test. I started Track and Field in eighth grade, improving greatly from right to ninth grade. I started Cross Country in the summer between my ninth and tenth grade years. At the start of my tenth grade year I joined the JustServe club, run by students at the school and dedicated to service. Many times, in math especially, other students will come and ask for my help. Whether it is because I explain it in a way that they can understand, or because the teacher is just busy, I don't know.

Fun Fact: I am one of seven children.

Favorite Number, Why?: My favorite number is 4. There is not any reason in particular, but many coincidences in my life have happened that relate, in some way, to the number 4.

Education: I am currently a sophomore at West Field High School.

Why I Like Mathnasium: I have a strong enjoyment for math over some other subjects.

Emma Ingram

Instructor

I took Math 1050 and Statistics in high school. In high school I helped lead my school’s choir club (it was the closet thing to a musical program we had bc we were more STEM and early college focused). I was also vice president of my school’s National Honors Society and got to help plan and lead out service projects. In high school I got to help tutor kids in math at Quest Academy for a couple weeks and loved it! I love to serve and spend time with friends and family. I also play the ukulele and sing. I love Utah with its beautiful mountains! Being outside is how I find peace and recharge each day ;)

Fun Fact: I am kind of obsessed with ice cream…

Favorite Number, Why?: 2, because it’s the only even prime number

Education: I went to a charter school in Layton called NUAMES where I was able to graduate high school with an associates degree through Weber State University. I am currently exploring my options for post-secondary schooling and excited for what the future holds!

Why I Like Mathnasium: I’m excited to get to share my love for math with the rising generation. I plan to learn how to be both a better teacher and student as I learn from and grow along side our students!
