Hi! I'm Taryn. I’ve been working at Mathnasium since 2020 and recently earned my bachelor's in accounting, but I wasn’t ready to step away from what I love—helping students connect with math in a meaningful way. Learning is personal, and I enjoy making math click for students in ways that aren’t always possible in a large classroom.
Outside of Mathnasium, I love reading, video games, and exploring new places. I’m a big fan of the Renaissance Festival (I go multiple times a year!) and am always looking for new restaurants, activities, and historical sites to visit.
I started peer tutoring as a high school freshman and have worked in many roles across multiple Mathnasium centers. I love helping students see math in a way that makes sense to them!
When I’m not at Mathnasium, I enjoy spending time with friends and my two big dogs—Duke, a hound, and his sister Daphne, a Great Dane. If I’m really bored, I challenge myself with extra math problems just for fun! My favorite number is 24 because it halves and quarters perfectly—and it’s been my favorite since childhood.
Though not a Colorado native, I’ve spent most of my life in this beautiful state. I hold bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics and Psychology and a Master’s in Secondary Curriculum and Instruction. For 29 years, I had the privilege of teaching high school math in Denver, working with students from over 40 countries. There’s nothing like seeing that “aha” moment when a concept clicks!
Outside of Mathnasium, I love golf, skiing, reading, and scuba diving. My favorite number? Any palindrome—I love the symmetry!
Fun fact: I once had dinner in the Tower of London with a private viewing of the Crown Jewels.
Teaching has always been my passion. I spent years in the Cherry Creek School District teaching third and fifth grade and was honored as Teacher of the Year at my school. After retiring, I missed working with kids, which led me to Mathnasium—where I love helping students grow and build confidence in math.
I hold bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business administration and a master’s in elementary education. Outside of Mathnasium, I enjoy scrapbooking, cooking, and spending time with my family, including my two dogs, Lucy and Lola, and my grandchildren, Elijah and Thomas.
