Meet the Team at Mathnasium of North Carlsbad

Nate

Hi, I'm Nate! I studied Chemical Engineering at UC Santa Barbara and Computer Engineering at UC San Diego. I love playing guitar, surfing, and most importantly helping you and your kids!!!

Sachi

Sachi is pursuing a BA in Japanese with a minor in child development. They began tutoring friends and family at a young age before developing a true passion for early childhood and elementary education in high school, after working as a volunteer tutor with Nova Spero in El Cajon. This led to Sachi becoming a private tutor for elementary students in English & Language Arts, mathematics, and eventually piano and voice. They also worked with Boys and Girls Club to deliver arts and music education to the elementary students of Carlsbad but, eventually, Sachi devoted themselves to tutoring full-time. After 4+ years of formal tutoring experience and many more just helping out friends, Sachi began working at Mathnasium as the Assistant Center Director to continue serving their community while staying up-to-date on current teaching methods and practices.
