Our staff is built to teach each student individually, to develop the skills they need to thrive in mathematics, and to foster a love of learning.

Laura Hamel

Owner

Laura holds a BS in Business from Wake Forest University and, alongside her husband Jonathan, opened their first Mathnasium center in 2014. A mother of three boys, she understands the importance families place on quality education. 

Laura is passionate about creating a supportive environment where students feel confident learning math. She’s proud to help kids build lifelong skills that lead to academic success and greater self-assurance.

Jonathan Hamel

Owner

Jonathan earned his BA in Economics from Wake Forest University and an International MBA through joint programs at the University of South Carolina and Wirtschaftuniversität Wien in Austria. He brings nearly 20 years of experience in finance and a passion for developing strong math foundations. 

A former lacrosse player and current youth coach, Jonathan sees math mastery as similar to athletic training—both require practice, patience, and encouragement. He enjoys supporting students and families on their academic journeys.

Jenny Colletti

Director of Education

Jenny holds a degree in Math and Sociology from the University of Miami and has been part of the Mathnasium team since 2013. She’s passionate about helping students develop critical thinking and discover their own unique problem-solving approaches. 

Jenny believes there’s always more than one way to understand a concept and loves seeing students build confidence as they grow. Each day, she’s energized by the positive impact math can have on a child’s life. 

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.
