Brian Burtner
Lead Instructor
Brian is an experienced STEM tutor at Frederick Community College, recently graduated from Hood college (B.A.), with a major in Mathematics and a minor in Actuarial Science (he has a particular love for probability, statistics, and optimization). Since roughly 2011, he has helped fresh-out-of-high-school undergraduates and adult learners alike overcome the structurally inherent pedagogical shortcomings of the public school system to achieve functional literacy in college-level algebra and beyond. For his work in this field he was declared Maryland 2017 Student Employee of the Year by the Northeast Association of Student Employment Administrators. Brian knows that developing good ‘number sense’ is the critical first step to self-sufficiency in mathematical problem solving – and the Mathnasium method is laser-focused on this goal!

Karen Highland
Instructor
After graduating from the University of Florida, Karen taught math for 25 years. After a second career in real estate, and retirement, boredom soon led her back to her first love, teaching math. Karen holds the belief that a strong foundation in mathematics offers numerous benefits to students, helping them succeed in both academic and real-world scenarios. Apart from opening doors to STEM subjects and the career opportunities they hold, math success brings several life-long benefits: boosted self-esteem and confidence, better critical thinking skills, analytical and problem-solving skills, financial literacy, and better decision-making skills. The unique individualized teaching approach at Mathnasium fits well with Karen's passion for preparing students to succeed in life.
