Ian Beard

Lead Instructor

Ian is originally from the small town of Minerva, Ohio, but relocated to Colorado Springs after graduating college in 2024. At college, Ian double-majored in the fields of mathematics and art history. While there, he was a peer tutor for the university's math department. After discovering a joy and passion for teaching through this experience, Ian decided to join the Rockrimmon Mathnasium team here in Colorado Springs.

In his free time, Ian enjoys hiking, traveling, and participating in all things culture from the art museum to the movie theater.
