Math Centers / New Tampa / Our Team

Julie Williamson

Owner & Center Director

Julie graduated magna cum laude from the University of South Florida with a bachelor of science in biology. In 2007, Julie and her husband Matt purchased Mathnasium of New Tampa which had been running since 2006. Julie has always had a passion for teaching kids math in a way that makes sense to them, so Mathnasium was a perfect fit! Since purchasing the New Tampa center, it has grown to become a staple in the New Tampa and Wesley Chapel communities where hundreds of kids have increased their knowledge and their love of math. Julie and Matt have been recognized in the Mathnasium system and the local community by winning many awards for their service: Apprenticeship Host Center, Mentor Center, National Award for Best Communicator, National Award for Best Innovative Idea, National Award for Best Instructional Miracle, National Award for Breaking Through a Previous Ceiling, Local Award for Best Customer Service, and Master Certification. Locally, they have also won numerous awards for customer service because of their excellent commitment to all the children of the community. They truly believe that all kids can succeed in math, and they look forward to working with your family!

Mathew Williamson

Owner

Mathew earned an advanced joint bachelors and master's degree in mathematics from the University of South Florida. While working on his degree, he served as a teaching assistant for many classes. After graduating, he taught at Hillsborough Community College, the University of South Florida, and was an instructor at Mathnasium of New Tampa before buying the center with his wife in 2007.

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.
