Our Team at Mathnasium of West El Paso

Yashaira Alvarado

Yoshi was born and raised in El Paso and discovered her passion for math in middle school thanks to a supportive math department. She went on to serve as treasurer in her high school’s Mu Alpha Theta chapter, where her leadership and love for math continued to flourish. 

Now entering her third year at Mathnasium, Yoshi supports students both administratively and as an instructor. She thrives on working with our enthusiastic team and helping students embrace math with confidence and curiosity. 

Adolfo Flores III

Adolfo is a proud El Paso native and UTEP graduate with a degree in Mathematics and a minor in Computer Science. He began helping others understand math as a high school student and later worked as a math lab instructor at El Paso Community College. 

Adolfo is also passionate about gaming, animation, and storytelling—interests that inspire his desire to one day create his own animated series. At Mathnasium, he brings creativity and ambition to help students succeed and pursue their own learning dreams. 

Matthew Anderson

Matt was born in Plainview, Texas before moving to El Paso, then to Lubbock as a middle schooler. At Frenship High School, he was active in robotics, UIL Math team, and baseball. He later studied Mathematics with a Physics minor at Texas Tech University. 

A fan of disc golf and minor league baseball, Matt recently joined Mathnasium to share his passion for math and science. He takes pride in inspiring students to embrace these subjects and build lasting confidence in their abilities. 

Jacob DuRussel

Jacob was born in Baltimore but settled in El Paso by age three when his family moved there for military service. He began his Mathnasium journey as a middle school student and was inspired by his instructors to pursue math with confidence. Now a senior at Cathedral High School, Jacob teaches at the same center that once supported him. 

He hopes to guide students toward academic confidence and see math as a powerful, foundational subject. Jacob plans to study economics and Spanish after graduation, and in his downtime, he enjoys basketball, reading, and spending time with family and friends.

Miguel Padilla

Hello, 

My name is Miguel Padilla and I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from UTEP. Growing up, math was always my favorite subject in school and I like to apply it in everyday activities. I have previous experience tutoring high school Algebra 1 students for almost a year and a half. I grew up playing soccer, and now play some golf whenever I have the chance. I also like watching football and Formula 1. My love for traveling is at an all-time high and I hope that I can continue to explore the world. I can speak a little Italian and German. I hope to help every Mathnasium student as much as possible.

Erik Vergara

Hello, 

My name is Erik Vergara. I was born and raised in El Paso, TX.  I am currently attending UTEP to pursue a bachelor’s in electrical engineering. My interests include music production, playing the guitar, reading, and swimming. In the future, I hope to be able to understand music and electrical engineering fully to design new musical hardware and software to make playing and producing music a simpler process for those who want to put their creativity on the map. As an instructor, my goal is to empower your child to think creatively with numbers, putting their intellectual potential on the map.”

Ruby Loman

Hello! 

I am Ruby Loman. I was born in Hamilton, Ohio but, as an army kid, I've spent my whole life on the move till I settled in El Paso in 2010. I was in my high-school Math UIL team and I've always had a lot of fun learning new things. I'm currently finishing my Civil Engineering Technology bachelor's degree at NMSU and hope to aim for a master's degree in Civil Engineering. Before coming to Mathnasium, I worked as a tutor at Dona Ana Community College, helping students with countless subjects from calculus to coding to economics to physics to statistics and more! I really enjoy what I do and seeing everyone leave the tutoring center with less to worry about has always been a great motivator for me. Helping others  has always been a great way for me to learn too. I'm glad that I can put my knowledge to good use.
