Did you know that some of our very own instructors are also proud graduates of our program? Ronnie and Johaana have both continued their Mathnasium journey with us, now guiding students as dedicated instructors.


Our dedicated instructors, Johaana and Ronnie

Ronnie says that each lesson she had as a mathlete grew her confidence in math, which translated into success both inside and outside the classroom. As a second-year economics student at UCSD, where advanced math is central to her coursework, she truly appreciates how her time at Mathnasium laid the foundation for her achievements in college.

She says that “ As a former mathlete, I know firsthand the frustration of tough math problems, but I also know how rewarding it is to solve them with the right support. Growing up, I was fortunate to be taught by Marcus, Sam, Joe, and Adrian. Now, as an instructor, I continue to learn from their commitment and passion for teaching. I’m grateful to my Mathnasium family for giving me the chance to help students realize their potential and believe in their own success.” 

Johaana says that “Being a graduate of this program helps me understand other students and be more empathetic. I was once in their spot too and can understand their feelings or struggles when it comes to math. This helps me to narrow down what the student may be misunderstanding and explain concepts in a way that isn’t confusing for the student.”
