Math Centers / Peoria IL / Our Team

Megan Curtale

Center Director/Owner

Megan is the Center Director at Mathnasium of Peoria. Prior to opening his Mathnasium center, Megan worked as a Realtor, business Manager, and tutor. She has her Bachelors of Science in History and Political Science, and Sociology and Psychology from Eureka College where she was a Reagan Fellow. While Megan has traveled across the globe working in a variety of different specialties, she has always had a passion for teaching and working with children. She feels nothing is more rewarding than seeing the sparkle in a child's eye when they finally understand something they had been previously struggling with. Her favorite shape is a triangle.

Madeline Friend

Lead Instructor

Miss Madeline is a recent Illinois State University graduate with a degree in Middle Level Education with math and science endorsements. One of her favorite parts about teaching and tutoring is watching students get to that "ah-ha" moment when they finally understand a topic that they have been working on. She enjoys traveling, watching soccer amongst other television shows, and spending time with family and friends. She is currently teaching in a middle school in the Pekin School district. Miss Madeline is the oldest of two, with a younger sister and has pet rabbit named Lily that occupies her free time.

Heather Smith

Lead Instructor

Ms. Heather graduated from Judson University in 2013 with a BA in Mathematics. She has been tutoring high school students in math since 2011. Miss Heather taught math for one year in a high school classroom, and has been working as a paraprofessional in the Dunlap School District since 2015. She enjoys participating in productions with Corn Stock Theater and has previously studied abroad at Harlaxton Manor in England for a semester while in college. Her favorite shape is the heart because she doodles them on everything and they usually bring a smile to the faces of others and make them feel loved/cared for.

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.

What I love about Mathnasium is the ability to teach problem-solving skills and make math make sense, while also making a student smile.
