Joey Larrondo

Center Director
Hey there! My name is Joey Larrondo. I've been a resident of the Greater LA area and have frequented the Torrance area since my childhood. I discovered my talent and passion for education while teaching LA youth about marine robotics. I combined this passion with my aptitude in math, and the rest is history! Let's build mathematical foundations that last a lifetime!

Alexis Lazo

Lead Instructor

Hi everyone, I'm Alexis! I've always loved and excelled in math since I graduated with my degree in Marine Biology from CSULB. I've been a tutor for about 6 years now, and I enjoy tutoring math especially because I've personally experienced just how difficult learning new mathematical concepts can be! In my free time, I love to cook and bake, hike, and go to the beach!

Conner Nguyen

Instructor

Hello, my name is Conner! I am currently a senior at West High School who’s taking Multi-Variable Calculus at El Camino College. As an eldest sibling, being able to work with younger kids has been an honor I’ve had for nearly my entire life. A fun fact I always tell my brother is that 1000 is the smallest positive number that includes an “A”!

Jessa Banayo

My passion for teaching keeps me motivated to hone more talents and make students appreciate Mathematics.
