I am Danny Ostrowski, the Assistant Center Director at the Mathnasium of Palatine. I have always found math to be interesting because it is a human-made language used to help understand the workings of our universe and it has been essential to helping human kind advance as far as it has. Math can connect us to one another despite being from different countries, continents, or planets! I have enjoyed instructing at Mathnasium for the past 10 years because we get the opportunity to really connect with our students while we show them new topics and techniques. Fresh ideas from students of all ages have even opened my eyes to new ways of thinking of math problems! My favorite number is 3. 3 has been my lucky number as long as I could remember and I keep learning cool facts about it. The most sturdy chair/stool will have 3 legs. Most colors humans can see can be made from a combination of the three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. We live in a 3-dimensional world. Everybody knows that the third time is a charm!
Hello, I am Nathan. I find math not to be another way to be smarter or get a good job but rather an interesting and ultimately beautiful discovery with rules and results that are so elegant. I love tinkering around with the frameworks of numbers. I enjoy teaching math because I like seeing the moment of realization in people it's such a nice moment to have for yourself and even better to help someone else. My favorite number is 21 since it's the product of my 2 favorite primes. Something interesting about me is that I am working hard to one day become an astronaut! I am constantly and always learning new things. As an engineering student I like to take what I learned and apply it in ways that are not provided in class or come up with my own problem and create a solution
Hi, I am Michael Georgiev. I like Math because it's used in everyday life and people underestimate how important it is. I like being an instructor because it's fun to teach kids younger than me and create relationships with people younger than me. My favorite number is 17 because it's my lucky number. A fun fact is that I'm bilingual and speak Bulgarian because my family is Bulgarian and I studied the language for over 8 years. If I wasn't teaching I would be playing soccer because it's my favorite hobby and my favorite sport.
Hi, I’m Ziyan Khan. I love math because it starts off simple and easy to understand, but slowly spirals into a million different topics and branches, whether it be algebra, geometry, or calculus, and no matter how much you’ve studied, there’s always something new to learn. I like teaching at Mathnasium because it lets me spread my love for math to other kids, giving me the opportunity to help them understand and appreciate the subject like I do. My favorite number is 75, because I don’t really have a favorite number and that’s just the first one that came to mind. If I’m not teaching math, I’m probably biking, playing ping pong, or taking a nap.
