Erick F.

Lead Instructor

Erick was born in Morelia, Mexico, but was raised in San Diego for almost their entire life. They attended UCSD, where they majored in Theatre. When it came to math, Erick has always been good at it; in fact, during high school, they were often the one people came to whenever they needed help with math. Their hobbies include video games, dancing, and acting.


Favorite number: 13, because my family's birthdays all revolve around the 13th.


Favorite math joke: How do you make seven even? Subtract the “S.”


In five years, I will be: acting in a movie or show


I love Mathnasium because: math has always been my favorite subject and I love helping others find a greater appreciation for math.
