Mathnasium of Suffolk's personalized algebra tutoring programs are designed to support students at every stage of their math journey.
Students build algebraic reasoning by mastering integers, fractions, order of operations, and introductory variables through personalized instruction that bridges concrete arithmetic and abstract thinking.
We help students tackle multi-step equations, linear functions, graphing, and word problems with proven techniques that transform this pivotal course into a confident foundation for their future math journey.
Our tutors provide targeted support for fast-paced topics—factoring polynomials, quadratics, exponentials, and logarithms—developing the advanced problem-solving skills necessary for Precalculus and college-prep courses.
At Mathnasium of Suffolk, our specially trained math tutors support students across all stages of algebra learning. From Prealgebra through Algebra 1 and Algebra 2, we help students work through topics such as equations, functions, graphing, and polynomials with clarity and purpose.
Instruction takes place in a caring and fun group environment, where tutors focus on teaching algebra in a way that feels logical and approachable. By using clear explanations and meeting students at their current level, we help them gain confidence as their understanding grows.
We teach using the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach that helps students truly understand how algebra works, not just memorize steps. Our approach emphasizes reasoning, problem-solving, and building connections between concepts.
Tutors use proven interactive techniques alongside personalized learning plans, allowing instruction to reflect how each student learns best. This helps students apply algebra more effectively in class and feel more comfortable using it beyond the classroom.
The enrollment process begins with a diagnostic assessment that gives us insight into their current skills, learning gaps, and goals. Using this information, we design a personalized learning plan that provides focused, step-by-step support.
As students progress, tutors follow the plan closely and adjust instruction in real time. Concepts are reinforced, new material is introduced gradually, and students build a deeper understanding of the algebra concepts they’re working with, along with the confidence to use them independently.

Thomas Seymour
Owner/Center Director
Thomas comes from a family of educators and has dedicated his career to improving math education. After years in higher education, he saw firsthand how many students lacked essential problem-solving skills. During the pandemic, he homeschooled his children, advancing them two grade levels and discovering how personalized instruction transforms learning.
At Mathnasium of Suffolk, Thomas combines his experience with his passion for helping kids build confidence in math. He believes that even small, individualized attention can lead to big breakthroughs. His favorite number is e, the base of natural logarithms.
Lileigh Campbell
Instructor
Math has always been my favorite subject and helping others has always been my favorite hobby, so I found myself helping others with math. I have enjoyed it every step of the way. On top of my job, I am always the first to get up in front of my class at school to help them understand the math concepts when they’re confused. My favorite number is pi because of its never ending numbers.
Hiram Legrand
Instructor
I am an aerospace engineering professional with over 23 years at Raytheon, specializing in radar and missile defense systems. A graduate of the University of Virginia, I use math daily, from technical specifications to financial reports, and bring that real-world experience to Mathnasium.
I enjoy helping students connect classroom math to practical applications. Outside of work, I love auto racing, especially Formula 1, and spending time with my son, a George Mason University student, and his daughter, a third grader at Nansemond Suffolk Academy. His favorite number is 11, his birthday.
Andrew Perkins
Instructor
I am a student at Old Dominion University, majoring in Supply Chain, Logistics, and Maritime Operations. I have always been very inquisitive and eager to discover easier, more comprehensible ways to solve complex math problems. I am the oldest of 3 boys and have helped my younger brothers with their math homework since they started school! I am eager to give back to the Hampton Roads community by helping students on their math discovery! My favorite number is 100 because it reminds me of getting a good grade on an assignment!
Siya Trivedi
Instructor
Math has by far always been one of my favorite subjects because I know there will always be a right answer! I have always gotten to help my friends so getting to help others is so rewarding! I love to play tennis. I can always be found at the beach hanging out with my friends. My favorite number is 24 because it’s my birthday and also my lucky number.
Bella Blasko
Instructor
I love working with kids and helping them reach their full potential. I love to volunteer and help around the community, and am a full-time band student. My favorite number is 10, because that's my birthday!
