Anndy A.

Anndy entered UC Davis with a 5 on his AP Calculus exam, and has been called "the nicest instructor in Mathnasium". He has had a diet of potatoes, and enjoys making homemade fries. Anndy loves working with talkative students, because they will explain their thought process (or show that they aren't focused on their work!)

Alex B.

Alex studied Business Administration at San Francisco State University. Alex has always had a love for problem solving, so he took that passion and entered the behavioral and mental health field. He currently also works as a behavioral health technician at a group home for teen boys. It was there that he discovered an ability to tutor others while they did schoolwork. Alex believes that math, like so many other things in life, can be learned and mastered by anyone as long as the right attitudes are fostered. Alex enjoys spending his free time with his family as well as reading about and listening to debates of theistic philosophy. He also likes to go to concerts and sporting events, and aspires to work with a professional team someday!
