Our Team at Mathnasium of Santee

Ethan Guice

I have recently transferred to SDSU and am currently pursuing a degree in Paleontology. Science and Math is how we appreciate the beauty of the natural world around us. I fell in love with them at a young age. Sharing that by making the STEM fields exciting and approachable for everyone but especially for children, is something I hope to achieve. Hobbies: Reading, Cooking, Rocks, and General Nerdiness Favorite Math Joke: Are monsters good at math? Not unless you count dracula.

Vipula Roy

I am a software project manager who attributes her success to her access to quality education, particularly math. Owning and running Mathnasium of Santee is my way of doing my bit to extend the same privilege and opportunities that I recieved as a child, to the next generation, for excelling in math

Leonardo Mark

I am a UCSD Visual Arts graduate aspiring to create a career in the fields of illustration, animation, and to be an artist for a video game studio. I have been a tutor of middle/high school students since September of 2023, and have found that I enjoy teaching. I have always had an aptitude for mathematics, and I want to better teach students in a way that will get them to like the concepts and the act of learning. Hobbies: Drawing, Playing video games, Painting Enjoys: Organizing things, driving, puzzles Favorite Math Joke: I met someone who loved math but hated fractions. As a result, he always felt really divided.

Tommy Nguyen

I am a 4th year SDSU student currently pursuing a degree in Mathematics with an emphasis in Education. With this, I plan on working towards becoming a secondary Math teacher in California. I always had a passion for math as it is my specific field of study. The best advice I can give for anyone: math can be challenging, but no one is born with a “math brain”, everyone just needs a different way of thinking about it that works for them. In fact, I considered myself “bad at math” for most of my younger life. We should never stop improving!

Enjoys: Coffee, Sunsets, Napping, and Cats

Favorite Math Joke: Why don't irreducible polynomials ever settle down? They're just not factorable.
