Math Centers / Yorba Linda / Our Team

Lindsay Morgan

Owner

Lindsay has been a part of the Mathnasium family for over 15 years. She began her Mathnasium journey as a student when she needed help with Trig her Junior year of High School. Then, on the first day of her Senior Year in High School, she began working at that same Franchise location in Yorba Linda. She graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. She was torn between becoming a Geometry teacher or a children’s Counselor. She realized that Mathnasium had best of both worlds! She loved that she could still teach math while boosting the confidence of many kids who once said they hated math. Additionally, she enjoyed helping families by making homework time easier for them. Following graduation, she began working at Mathnasium corporate in various roles. After helping many Mathnasium owners as a Franchise Business Consultant, she decided she wanted her very own center! Then her dream came true! She brings great knowledge and experience from the many years that she has been immersed in the Mathnasium world and is so excited to serve families in her very own communities of Fullerton and Yorba Linda! Lindsay grew up in Fullerton and currently resides in Placentia with her husband, Tyler, and their son, Graham.

Our Mathnasium Mission

Teach children math so they understand it, master it, and love it. Math can change their lives, and they can change the world.

What I love about Mathnasium is the ability to teach problem-solving skills and make math make sense, while also making a student smile.
