Krish R

Instructor

Hello! My name is Krish. I am a senior at Lafayette High school currently. I like to play basketball and tennis, play video games and work on robots. I plan to major in Biomedical Engineering in college. As someone who has attended Mathnasium since 6th grade. I can speak from experience that Mathnasium really helped me to develop a strong foundation in my math skills which helped to succeed in classes like Algebra 2 and Pre Calculus. I became an instructor to share what I have learned other students and try to motivate them to learn math like my instructors did when I went to Mathnasium.

Vignesshwar V

Instructor

Vignesshwar is a junior at Lafayette High School. In his free time he loves to speedcube and play tennis. He has been interested in math and science ever since he was young because he feels like he just has an innate talent for them, and he likes to share that talent with others. For higher level education he is interested in healthcare but more specifically becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon. He doesn't feel obligated to help others but for that feeling when a student finally has that "Ah hah" moment and they thank him. That feeling of satisfaction and his love for math is what drives him forward to achieve his future goals in life.
