Our Team at Mathnasium of Temecula

Chris F.

Chris is now finishing his Math-Education degree at CSUSM with the intention of becoming a math teacher.

Charles R.

Charles has degrees in Math and Economics from UCSD. Math has always come naturally to Charles which is why it is no surprise that he is a fantastic tutor.

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!)

John Paul M.

John Paul graduated from Cal State San Marcos with a B.S. in Theoretical Mathematics, then went on to get his M.S. in Applied Mathematics from San Diego State University, and is currently attending the University of Redlands with the intention of becoming a teacher in the future. John Paul has always loved math (and loved learning math!), and has 10 years of tutoring experience. He doesn't believe that anyone is just "born good" at math -- anyone can become a math person! Aside from math, John Paul loves gaming, his cats, and hanging out with his friends.

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!

Sal M.

Sal is currently a student at MSJC, with the intention to study Data Science and transfer to either UC Irvine or UC San Diego in the future. Sal has always done well in math, and finds that taking advanced classes in the past has helped him to better learn to navigate how to deal with stress. Mathnasium is the perfect fit for him because he enjoys talking to people, and wants to help students learn from his past experiences in school. Outside of the center, Sal's hobbies include clothes, music, and keeping up with sports.

His goal is to help create a space where students feel confident and excited to learn, because he believes that that's when math is truly fun!
