My name is Kayla Wasmund and I am the Center Director at Mathnasium of Lutz. I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics in 2020, with a minor in Secondary Mathematics Education. I was an instructor for four years at Mathnasium in the Orlando/Seminole area while I was in college. After graduation, I worked as a middle and high school math teacher, teaching classes ranging from Algebra 1 all the way through AP Calculus. I'm excited to get to know your child and help them reach their math goals!
