Meet the Team at Mathnasium of Corpus Christi

Brittany

Amerika

Hi! I’m Amerika, and I’m a senior at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi. I am currently finishing up my last semester there where I will graduate with a BS in mathematics that has an applied/industrial focus as well as a BA in psychology. I’m convinced math and numbers are everywhere, I see them in some of my favorite hobbies such as running and crocheting.

Vidya

Leela

Hi! I’m Leela, and I’m a graduate from Ray High School. I love math and physics, and I’m taking IB Math HL and IB Physics HL this year! I’m also pretty well-versed in AP Statistics, OnRamps PreCal, and OnRamps Physics. I absolutely LOVE working with students at Mathnasium because that “aha!!” moment is my favorite moment of all time! One of my favorite hobbies is Killer Sudoku. My favorite board game is Mastermind (more commonly known as Guess the Code), and I like to read, swim, run, and play piano!

Joel

Hello, my name is Joel Winthrope. I have an associates degree in physics and I am going to get my bachelors degree in chemistry. My favorite math related subject is physical chemistry. In my free time I like to go camping and stargazing. I am looking forward to seeing the solar eclipse!

Omar

I'm in my junior year of high school, and I hope to study aerospace engineering in college. My favorite use of math is using it to solve problems in the real world. Some of my hobbies are video games, soccer, and reading!

Morgan

Hi, I’m Morgan and I’m a senior at Ray High School. I love everything related to math and I am currently taking IB Math Higher Level at my school. I enjoy participating in math competitions and challenging myself to improve. One of my favorite hobbies is chess, but I also enjoy playing the piano, tennis, running, reading, and participating in my school’s marching band.

Arjun

My name is Arjun Mattewada! I am a junior at Veterans Memorial High School, currently taking AP Calculus. I started working at Mathnasium last summer after coming in as a student looking for help with the SAT. After coming in a couple of times, I knew this was where I wanted to work! Growing up, math always seemed so complicated to me (I hope some of you can relate). It stayed that way until one of my teachers at Windsor Park, Mrs. Cable, helped simplify it! Through her help, I began to understand math and excel. I joined the Mathletes, went to practices, and placed in competitions! My goal is to help take some of the frustration and complexity out of math, as Mrs. Cable did for me. Besides working with math, I enjoy playing guitar (or trying to, at least. Don't even get me started on barre chords), playing video games, and camping through Scouts (I actually just made my Eagle!) But enough about me! I hope to see you at Mathnasium!

Brandon

Eric

Hello! My name is Eric Thompson and I am a Junior at SST. I am ranked 3rd in my grade, and I have plans on moving up from there (maybe to valedictorian). I love biking, hiking, exercise, hanging out with friends, and, of course, math. Math has been a struggle for me growing up, but through that struggle and perseverance I’ve made a stronger connection with math and how it works. My goal is to help struggling students do the same as I did and find their love for mathematics all while having fun along the way.

Seth

Hello, I am Seth Alfaro!! I am part of Ray High School’s class of 2025, president of our math honor society, and currently in my second year of Higher Level IB Mathematics. Practicing math since before I even started speaking English, I have garnered a profound and ever growing love for the subject. At the moment, my favorite math topic is definitely trigonometry with differential calculus as a close second. It is my honor and pleasure to help individuals in communities around me to not only enhance their mathematical skills but also grow to love and appreciate math as much as I do. In the free time I spend not doing math, you can find me reading, trying to play guitar, swimming, playing lots of video games, or just sleeping. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Ronit

Hi everyone! My name is Ronit and I’m currently a junior in High School. Math is one of my favorite subjects, and is one of the classes that I look forward to everyday. Other things about me: I’m a big Houston Astros and Rockets fan, I enjoy working out, and also listening to music in my free time.

Mahdi Shafiei

Hi, my name is Mahdi. I have been a civil engineering student for a year at SBU university. After moving to Texas, I changed my major to Industrial engineering, and I’m currently studying at Del Mar College. Math and physics have always been my passion in different edges of life, from childhood to school and now at university! I attended the National Olympiad of Physics when I was in high school and after that, I tutored other students who wanted to participate in science Olympiads in the future. My short-term goal is to study engineering at one of the top universities in America, and my long-term goal is to teach at them one day!
