Hi I’m Annie and I have been working at Mathnasium since January of 2019. I currently works as a 1 on 1 aide at SLVE and I’m so glad to have another chance to work with kids! Helping kids grow their confidence in their own math abilities and working with students of a wide variety of ages is what I love most about working at Mathnasium.
