Her favorite number is 21 since it looks like a prime number but isn’t, and it’s also her birthday. Outside of teaching, Rebekah enjoys being outdoors, playing tennis, reading, and trying new recipes in the kitchen.

Krish Raval
Instructor
Hi I’m Krish! I love math because it challenges me to think logically and creatively at the same time. I enjoy how math connects ideas in unexpected ways and shows how reasoning can explain a lot about the world around us. I enjoy teaching at Mathnasium because I love seeing students truly understand math as a whole rather than just memorization. My favorite number is phi (φ) because although it is an irrational number, it represents the golden ratio that is found in nature, art, and more, representing proportion. A fun fact about myself is that I have performed at the Chicago Symphony Center as well as the Ravinia Music Festival. If I’m not doing math, you can find me playing along to songs on my drum set or playing basketball with friends!
Amira Salamah
Instructor
Hi, I am Amira Salamah. I love math because it can help us make sense of the world around us. I like instructing math because it allows me to help students make sense of complex concepts and make learning more enjoyable. My favorite number is 0 because it isn’t worth anything, but is still one of the most important numbers in math. A fun fact about me is that my favorite flowers are sunflowers. If I wasn’t teaching or doing math I would probably be baking, because it helps me relax.
