Karen Lossing
Executive Director
Karen is a powerhouse in the world of education, with a mission to make math click for every child. Karen’s career in education began in 2004 when she noticed her son was falling behind academically and wanted to help him and students like him get the best support available. Karen earned her master’s and teaching certificate and became a classroom teacher. During her years of teaching, she worked as an interventionist and district liaison for math curriculum and instruction.
After nearly a decade working in schools, Karen shifted gears to supplemental education in 2013 and opened the doors to her first Mathnasium franchise. Karen's first learning center has been recognized as a top performing location for several years in a row.
In addition to the work she does at her learning centers, Karen has served on the Mathnasium Franchise Advisory Committee, where her influence has been instrumental in shaping the company's direction and curriculum. Her efforts have led to the frequent adoption of new curriculum and student management systems, ensuring Mathnasium offers the best possible tools to help students excel and instilling confidence in her leadership.

Youngkun Weiss
Director of Operations
Youngkun's journey in education began with his pursuit of a bachelor’s degree in Pure Mathematics at Revelle College, University of California San Diego (UCSD). However, his passion soon shifted towards math education, prompting him to change his major to focus on secondary education. Since 2013, Youngkun has been actively involved in tutoring and various educational initiatives, demonstrating his commitment to education both within and beyond academia.
In January 2015, Youngkun became an instructor at Mathnasium, driven by a desire to make a direct impact on students' mathematical experiences. His dedication and leadership abilities quickly became evident, and by late 2017, he had transitioned to the role of Center Director. His continued success led to his promotion to Director of Operations in early 2023, where he now oversees multiple Mathnasium centers, including those in San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas, and Cincinnati.
Youngkun firmly believes that every student deserves to approach math with confidence. He is a staunch advocate of the Mathnasium method, which emphasizes a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and aims to eliminate the fear of math that often impedes student progress.
Committed to fostering the personal and professional growth of both instructors and students within his region, Youngkun strives to create an environment where learning math is a positive and empowering experience.

Kevin
Center Director
My name is Kevin Minear and I am the Center Director at Mathnasium in Lakewood. I grew up in San Diego, CA before moving to Austin, TX to attend UT Austin. After I graduated with a neuroscience degree, I decided to move into the education field. I went through the UTeach teacher preparatory program through my university and started teaching at KIPP Austin Collegiate high school shortly after. I taught honors physics for 2 years before moving to AP environmental science for my final year. I thoroughly enjoyed educating and inspiring students in the classroom, but decided I wanted to gain experience working outside of a school environment. My wife, Keilah, and I moved to Denver in June of 2024 to shake things up and find new opportunities. I am so glad I started working at Mathnasium as it combines my experience in education with my passion of operations and logistics. Outside of work I enjoy hiking, audio engineering, board games, and cooking.
Jesse Sexton
Instructor
My name is Jesse and I've been in the education field since graduating college in 2016. In my home state of South Carolina, I taught 2nd grade for 7 years. I've always had a passion for math. Math classes were my top choice for electives in high school and I was usually the person classmates came to for help. Once I started teaching, my students could easily tell it was my favorite subject--they'd always draw me solving a math problem or saying "I love math"! When I decided to take a break from the classroom and move to Denver in August 2024, working for a Mathnasium seemed like a no-brainer. I've thoroughly enjoyed being able to help students find an understanding for and success in math, especially when they thought it was impossible for them! Outside of work, I enjoy reading, solving puzzles, and going to concerts.
