Our staff is built to teach each student individually, to develop the skills they need to thrive in mathematics, and to foster a love of learning.

Irenaus Ibe

Center Operations Manager

Hi, I’m Irenaus, husband to Folake, fellow Mathnasium parent, and proud co-pilot on this adventure. We started Mathnasium of Clinton together with one clear goal: to create a place where kids could build confidence and truly get math.

These days, you won’t always find me at the front desk, but I’m always working behind the scenes to make sure things run smoothly, whether that’s handling logistics, being the unofficial snack inspector, or just cheering our students (and staff) on.

As a parent of three Mathnasium kids myself, I know what a difference this program makes. I believe in what we’re building here, and I’m excited to help create a space where kids feel supported, challenged, and successful in math, and in life.


Je'Sika Brown

Instructor

Born and raised in Prince George’s County, MD, I’m proud to serve the same community that shaped me. I’m a graduate of the University of Maryland, College Park, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature. As both an educator and a lifelong learner, I love helping others build confidence as they learn new skills. Outside of the center, you can usually find me traveling, catching up on TV and movies, or spending quality time with family and friends.

Joe Frey

Curriculum and Instructional Lead

I grew up in Wisconsin before making my way to Maryland, where my passion for mathematics has shaped both my education and career. I was a math major in college and spent much of that time tutoring, followed by teaching high school mathematics from 2021 to 2023 at La Plata High School.

Beyond math, I have a wide range of interests, including anime, PC gaming, hiking, and literature. I even built my own computer years ago to play games on Steam, which has turned out to be a great way to connect with middle and high school students. I’m excited to meet each student who joins Mathnasium and look forward to sharing my enthusiasm for math as they continue their learning journey.


Raniyah Washington

Instructor

Architecture sits right at the intersection of creativity and logic, and that balance is what makes it so exciting. As an architecture student at the University of Maryland, design, sustainability, and the built environment are more than areas of study. They are ways to turn ideas into spaces that work and inspire.

A lifelong love of both math and art naturally led to architecture, where structure, problem-solving, and creativity come together in tangible ways. Because math has always felt fun and intuitive, there is a real joy in helping others see it the same way and discover that it can be engaging and approachable.

Outside the center, downtime is usually spent watching movies, crafting, or getting lost in a good book.


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.
