Tammie grew up in Glendale alongside her sister and co-owner, Betsy. Before joining Mathnasium full-time, she spent 30 years in the premium finance industry, building a strong career in business management and client support. 

Her favorite part of Mathnasium is seeing students experience “aha” moments and grow in confidence. Tammie loves being part of a positive, student-focused environment where math truly makes sense. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, as well as music, movies, reading, and traveling.

Monika Mattick

Lead Instructor - Online

Hi! I’m Monika Mattick. I have an Elementary Education degree (math emphasis) from GCU. I served for 5 years as a private math and language arts tutor in Southern California, then moved to Fountain Hills, Arizona in October 2023 with my husband, Adam. My greatest passion within education is not in the traditional classroom, but rather one-on-one tutoring. Especially math! Students have said I get way too excited for math time! My goal is to inspire your students to love math just as much! Having been homeschooled from 3rd grade through my senior year of highchool, I have a particularly deep passion for the homeschooled kids of Mathnasium. In my free time, I love to bake, do artsy projects, and spend time with family!

Brenna Dugan

Online Instructor

Hi! My name is Brenna and I am currently a senior and Sunrise Mountain High School and attend the MET Professional Academy.  I love math because it feels like a puzzle.  I love working at Mathnasium because it gives me the opportunity to show other students that everyone is capable of succeeding in math. In my free time I love going to the gym, taking naps, playing with my pets, and hanging out with friends and family.  I also volunteer every weekend that I can.
