Emma

Assistant Center Director

Emma is thrilled to lead the team at the Niskayuna Mathnasium! She is committed to fostering an environment where students can enjoy and excel at math. She believes that every student has the potential to succeed in math, and the key is to find the right approach for each student. Emma strives to meet the unique needs of each student by creating an individualized learning plan after their initial evaluation. Her primary goal as lead instructor is to provide a long-term understanding of essential mathematical concepts while cultivating a fun and engaging learning environment!

Emma graduated summa cum laude from the University at Albany, SUNY, with a Bachelor of Science in environmental science with a specialization in climate change. She gained a deep understanding of mathematics through her calculus, statistics, and atmospheric science courses. Outside of instructing, Emma loves to play disc golf, birdwatch, dance, ski, play board games, and spend time with her family and friends.

Emma’s favorite math joke: What did 0 say to 8? “Nice belt!”

Our Mathnasium Mission

Teach children math so they understand it, master it, and love it. Math can change their lives, and they can change the world.

What I love about Mathnasium is the ability to teach problem-solving skills and make math make sense, while also making a student smile.
