Meet the Team at Mathnasium of South Huntington

Jefferson M

Jefferson is currently a Junior at SUNY Stony Brook pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Physics. He's always had an affinity for math and science so those are naturally his favorite subjects. When he's not in class you could probably find him somewhere on the South shore fishing with friends or at home fiddling with his clarinet, a passion he has decided to revive again as of recent. But, of course, with all that said he is always ready to assist in helping students be engaged and find passion in learning.

Gabrielle S

Gabrielle, or Gabby for short, is an alumna from Kellenberg Memorial High School where her love of math grew. She has her bachelor’s in Mathematics from Xavier University, class of 2022. Recently, she has graduated from Relay Graduate School of Education where she received both her Master’s in Secondary Math Education and her High School Teaching Certification. She teaches PreCalculus, Calculus and AP Calculus AB at Achievement First Brooklyn High School. When she is not teaching or doing math for fun, she enjoys reading, writing, swimming and traveling. She has been to eleven different countries. Her goal as a teacher is to get her students to love math as much as she does and help them truly understand the beauty of math.

Alex C

Alex is a Walt Whitman graduate and an alumnus of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics and a Master’s degree in Applied Statistics. He has always had a natural ability for math: placing first in the Suffolk County Math Competition in tenth grade, and being elected President of Whitman’s Mathletes Club as a senior. He was accepted into the Institute of Creative Problem Solving for Gifted and Talented Students in tenth and eleventh grades, an exclusive club for children and teenagers that explores topics of mathematics beyond what is taught in school. 

As a teaching assistant in college, Alex brought his love and passion for math to hundreds of college students in various fields, and hopes to share the excitement of math with the students here in Mathnasium.

Kyle L

Kyle is a senior at Jericho High School who has a passion for math, computer science, and art. From a young age, Kyle was particularly fond of the STEM field, and over the years, his interest in working with numbers and problem-solving would lead to his discovery of math and programming. In his free time, Kyle enjoys drawing landscapes, solving problems, working on fun coding projects, theory crafting in games, and rock climbing. Through Mathnasium, he hopes to help others gain new experiences and find their own passions in learning.

Alissa P

Alissa is a junior at Commack High School. She is passionate about Tennis, Math, and Coding. As an IB Diploma student, and having the privilege of taking both AP classes and IB classes she strives for academic excellence. Alissa loves playing tennis and finds balancing work, school, and sports challenging and the most-rewarding.  Outside of school and tennis, Alissa enjoys taking coding classes and over the summer she did a Girls who code camp. Being able to share her knowledge of math and learn how to be a better teacher to her students is something that truly excites her. Alissa also lends her amazing art skills to the center, evidenced by words of the week board or other drawings on the white boards! Lastly, she also loves hanging out with her friends and family and her new puppy Hazel.
