Math Centers / Pleasant Prairie / Our Team
Maria Norville

Maria Norville

Center Director/Owner
Greetings! I'm Maria Norville, the proud Owner and Center Director of Mathnasium of Pleasant Prairie. Before opening this center, I had a fulfilling career as an Assistant Principal and Middle School Math/Algebra teacher in Chicago Public Schools. My educational background includes a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education (with endorsements in Math and LA) and a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership. My husband and I relocated from Chicago, IL to Fontana, WI in September 2021. We have two adorable puppies who keep us busy and entertained. Personally, I love staying active through activities like running, biking, and swimming. I accomplished my first full Ironman triathlon in August of 2023 (Mont Tremblant). Upon discovering the Mathnasium Method through recommendations from family and friends, I knew it was the perfect fit for me. As a former math teacher, I've witnessed students of all levels experience both confidence and challenges in math. My dedicated team and I will work closely with your child(ren) to ensure they grasp math concepts in a way that makes sense to them. I'm excited to contribute to the mathematical skills and confidence of the students in our community.

Harley Chen

Instructor
Harley graduated from Lakeview Technology Academy looking to major in Biomedical Engineering, as well as Marine Biology. He has always enjoyed solving mathematical equations as they are more like puzzles that each have their own unique approach and solution to them. He believes math is a concept that is more understood because of the many avenues and teaching methods different people have when it comes to understanding equations. Often there is a laundry list of hobbies he enjoys, from swimming to building drones/creating video games.
