With a strong academic background that includes degrees from EMU (MA Math, 2016; MBA, 1985) and U of M-Dearborn (MS Mechanical Engineering, 1981), Fred recently retired from full-time teaching but couldn’t resist the opportunity to continue inspiring students in math part-time. He believes that practice helps people excel at what they love and finds joy in helping students build their math skills to foster a love for the subject. Fred especially enjoys teaching conditional statements in Geometry, as they provide tools for logical decision-making in real-life scenarios. Outside the classroom, Fred has a rich history as a professional tennis instructor and varsity coach, and he still plays tennis doubles on Sunday nights—a tradition since 1981! In his free time, he enjoys golfing, playing chess, video games, card games, biking, and boating on his pontoon, "Summer Daze." His favorite math joke? What did the acorn say when it grew up? Gee, I’m a tree! (Geometry).
Allison
Instructor
Allison is a Mathematics student at UM-Dearborn with two years of experience in tutoring and serving as a math TA. Working at Mathnasium felt like the natural next step as an educator. Allison has also co-published a mathematics research paper alongside professors and peers. Allison finds the most rewarding part of teaching math to be helping students finally grasp concepts that may have seemed impossible, bridging gaps and making math accessible and enjoyable. Allison's favorite topics to teach include geometry, proofs, and calculus, as these areas highlight the beauty and logic of mathematics. Outside of teaching, Allison enjoys playing video games, board games, coding, and solving interesting math problems. Their favorite math-related quote, inspired by Henri Poincaré, reflects their philosophy: "A mathematician does not study mathematics because it is useful; they study it because they delight in it, and they delight in it because it is beautiful."
