Math Centers / North Austin / Our Team
Lakshmi Kondubhatla

Lakshmi Kondubhatla

Director
Lakshmi has a mathematics degree from the University of Texas at Austin. While working with a non-profit organization and tutoring middle school students in math, Lakshmi became aware of the achievement gap among school-age children and how schools cannot help every individual overcome the obstacles that keep them from progressing and enjoying math. Lakshmi's father, who is her role model and guide, is a teacher by profession and has inspired her to follow in his footsteps. She was attracted to Mathnasium because of the difference she can make in a child's life and the chance to inspire them. Lakshmi feels blessed with a wonderful family and enjoys spending time with them and doing crosswords and sudoku puzzles in her spare time.

Uma Srinivas

Office Manager
With a background in accounting, Uma joined the Mathnasium team in 2015 to run the operations of our learning center. Soon, however, she fell in love with the Mathnasium method and what it could do for our students. She pivoted from operations to education management and thoroughly enjoys her time on the teaching floor. Uma's favorite part of the job is helping, molding, teaching these young minds, and fighting the fear of math in their minds. When not at the center, she is busy walking her dog, Bentley, and spending time with her family. Uma has two grown children who share her love of Math and teaching.

Zac DeLane

Lead Instructor
Zac is a UT Longhorn who earned his BFA in Design (graphic, interaction, and industrial). He has worked with Mathnasium for over five years and is now a lead instructor, and now works full-time as a Graphic Design teacher in the public school system. His teaching philosophy is always: why does this matter to me in the real world? This leads students to understand and enjoy the material more as they see why their work matters, leading to better retention. And, of course, he loves to make math fun!

Anshul Moondra

Lead Instructor
Anshul is a senior at UT Austin studying Computer Science and Math and working towards his integrated master's degree in Computer Science. He is a lead instructor at Mathnasium and has taught there for three years. He enjoys working at Mathnasium as he shares the knowledge he gained from preparing for math competitions and inspires students to learn more. His goal is to have his students understand how math works on a conceptual level. Outside of Mathnasium, you will find Anshul watching Red Sox games, playing the piccolo as a part of the Longhorn Band, or helping his friends with homework.

Sam Zigrossi

Michele Seidel

Instructor
Michele Seidel has a B.A. in Mathematics from Hunter College of the City University of New York. She holds a permanent certification for Secondary Mathematics in Texas. She was employed by the Eanes School District for 5 years. She began working with special needs middle school students in the West Ridge Middle School and then transferred to Westlake High School, where she taught Algebra 1 & 2. She currently volunteers with the Assistance League of Austin, whose mission is to enable children and adults to achieve a higher quality of life by providing basic needs, including clothing to school-age children within the Austin ISD. She's thrilled to be part of a team that understands how children learn best.

Shanti Sriram

Marketing Lead
Shanti Sriram has a bachelor's degree in Commerce, with a specialization in accounting and auditing. Before moving to the US, Shanti worked in a firm as an audit assistant in a team that audited companies. She joined Mathnasium about 3 years back, and thoroughly enjoys teaching here. Shanti loves helping students see the logic behind simple math concepts, and seeing their faces brighten with the understanding of the problem. Mathnasium made Shanti realize that every child is capable of being an achiever when given the time and space to grow. Outside of Mathnasium, Shanti loves to travel and read travel blogs and garden, and practice yoga.

Swati Kapoor

Instructor
Swati has a Master’s degree in Commerce and worked as a Realtor® for several years. She is hugely inspired by her mom’s and aunt’s illustrious careers in education and often used to role-play as a teacher in childhood. Mathnasium returned her to her true calling – teaching, which is also the best way to keep learning! Her biggest moments of joy come from helping a child conquer a feared Math topic or helping them apply their Math skills to problem-solve. Besides teaching, she enjoys nature, music and dance, philosophical discussions, travel, poetry, Scrabble®, and laughing out loud.

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.
