Meet the Team at Mathnasium of Williamsburg NY

Vishram Doodnauth

My name is Vishram Doodnauth and I currently attend New York University, majoring in mathematics and computer science in my senior year. Before moving to New York, I lived in South Florida, where I enjoyed playing sports and spending time with friends. Now, I like to walk around and sightsee. I chose to work with Mathnasium because it allows me to build meaningful relationships with students and watch their growth over time, which is incredibly rewarding. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing children smile as they grasp new mathematical concepts and solve problems with confidence.

Alice Yang

Solving Problems, Building Confidence – Together! I’m a junior at NYU, majoring in Data Science and Mathematics. I’m originally from Chengdu, China, and in my free time, I enjoy pop music, traveling, taekwondo, and dancing. I was drawn to Mathnasium because of its unique approach to helping students understand math step by step. Mathnasium’s systematic teaching philosophy and flexible methods make learning math engaging rather than tedious. Having attended math tutoring classes myself from a young age, I deeply resonate with these principles and am excited to be a part of a system that genuinely helps students build their math skills.

Leyla Unsal

I’m a senior at Barnard College of Columbia University majoring in Physics with minors in Mathematical Sciences and History. I’m originally from Bethesda, Maryland, and spend my time biking, playing volleyball, and studying with friends. I wanted to tutor for Mathnasium after looking into the care with which students are treated within the classroom. The way tutors make sure students are getting the most efficient and suited approach for their needs really pulled me in. As a huge proponent of math being for everyone, and consequently, the fact that everyone is able to do math, for me, Mathnasium is the perfect place to teach.

I’m excited to be part of a program that embraces this philosophy, and I’m proud to represent Mathnasium!

Zack Schweitzer

Hi, my name is Zach. I graduated from Colby College in 2021 majoring in political science and minoring in Economics. Since 2021, I have worked on Wall Street as a Fixed Income trader. I have always loved Math. In fact from an early age I found myself helping my younger sister with math and  hosting help sessions for her friends. In college I tutored and TA’d for statistics. I was drawn to tutoring at Mathnasium as a way to give back and show children that math can be fun!  It is incredibly rewarding to help children. There is nothing better than watching a child’s excitement and relief when they finally understand a concept.

Joseph Ha Leisz

Hi, my name is Joseph! I'm a first year student at Columbia University majoring in Linguistics (I love languages) and originally from Fort Collins, Colorado. While I study Languages, I have a deep passion for math! Growing up, math was always something I struggled with, although through the patience of my parents and teachers I learned to love the subject and grew to truly appreciate its applications. Working at Mathnasium, I have the privilege of sharing my love of math with others in an environment that encourages growth and promotes patience! Outside of work, I love to learn languages, volunteer at my local soup kitchen, take long walks, and bicycle!
