Sanika Patwardhan
Lead Instructor
My name is Sanika Patwardhan, and I'm currently studying Business Administration at UCI, I enjoy teaching at Mathnasium because I want to make math not just understandable, but also enjoyable for everyone. My academic journey in high school was quite successful; I had a 4.6 GPA and completed nine AP courses. Outside of school, I love expressing myself through painting, drawing, and other art forms. I also enjoy spending time at the beach, listening to music, taking scenic drives, and hanging out with friends. I’ve also been involved in various volunteer activities, such as tutoring at Heritage Park Library and serving as a Junior Instructor of martial arts, as well as a board member of a club. These roles, as well as being Editor in my high school’s Yearbook class, helped me develop leadership and organizational skills. I’ve studied math at an advanced level, including AP Calculus AB, and I find math fascinating because it’s based on logic and serves as a universal language that brings people together. I believe that contributing to others' growth and success is incredibly rewarding, and I strive to make a positive impact through teaching, volunteering, and leading.
