Menaka Shankar

I am a doctor with a passion for working with children and helping them learn, grow, and build confidence. Since 2018, I have enjoyed working with students and supporting them in developing strong academic skills and a positive attitude toward learning. I believe that every child learns differently, and I enjoy creating a patient, encouraging, and supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and working through challenges. My goal is to help students not only improve their math skills, but also develop the confidence and problem-solving abilities they can carry with them throughout their education. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and spending quality time with my family. I especially value the opportunity to spend time with children and be part of their learning journey. I am excited to be part of the Mathnasium team and look forward to helping students discover that math can be both rewarding and fun!
