Aileen Clarkson

Owner

Aileen holds an Honors Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Business Analysis from Glasgow Caledonian University. Originally from Scotland, she moved to the United States in 2005 with her husband, an Engineering Manager at Gulfstream Aircraft. In 2011, she opened her first Mathnasium in Savannah and has since expanded to Pooler, Bluffton, and even a center in England. 

She has a true passion for helping children discover a love of math and reach their full potential. Aileen believes math should be both understandable and fun, combining logic, problem solving, and confidence-building in every student.

He is now a junior at Georgia Southern University, where he studies computer science. 

Jay enjoys working with students to show that math can be both fun and rewarding. In his free time, he likes programming, working on computers, and playing board games. His energy and enthusiasm help students see math in a new light.
