Meet the Team at Mathnasium of Pike Creek

Troy Makous

Hi! My name is Troy Makous, and I’m the owner and director of Mathnasium of Pike Creek. I joined Mathnasium because I’ve experienced firsthand that math is much more than just a subject in school—it’s the foundation for becoming a confident critical thinker and problem solver in many aspects of life. I’m passionate about providing others with the same guidance and encouragement that was once given to me because I believe every kid can be a "math kid" with the right support.

I have a degree in Chemical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, where I was also a double minor in Entrepreneurship and Creative Writing and a captain of the Men’s Track & Field Team. After graduation, I worked as a manufacturing engineer for L’Oréal USA before transitioning into the software industry, where I spent most of the past decade.

This past year, I’ve worked as an Instructor and Assistant Center Director at Mathnasium of Rosemont in the Villanova area. There, I had the privilege of learning from the best how to help students catch up, keep up, and get ahead in math.

When I’m not focused on building confident thinkers, I’m usually spending time with friends and family or staying active. On any given day, you might find me at the gym, trail running, or salsa dancing.

I’m excited and honored to be a resource for you and the Northern Delaware community. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Sincerely,
Troy
