Jennifer has a unique perspective that allows her to understand your kids and help them.
She is a successful business owner and homeschooling mom of 3! She has the perspective of an educator as well as a busy parent and knows the challenges of both. Jennifer knows how to engage the kids and hold their interest. She keeps them progressing in math in a way they will actually enjoy!
Jennifer has always had a strong grip on Mathematics, earning her B.B.A in Finance at Southwest Texas State University and then owning and operating a successful business for over 10 years in the Brazos Valley alongside her husband James.
After finding Mathnasium and seeing what it can offer kids, they made a tough decision to sell their successful business with its comfortable lifestyle and start all over again. As scary as that sounds, they knew that parents in the Brazos Valley wanted the best for their children at an affordable price. There was already so much available for the many college students in Bryan/College Station, but not for elementary, middle, and high school students. Now, after being open for several years and expanding to multiple locations, we have hundreds of amazing success stories as a result of our passionate instructors, inspiring learning environment, teaching style and curriculum at Mathnasium! Let us help your student!Favorite Math Joke: There are 3 kinds of people in this world... Those who can count, and those who can't.

In five years, I will be: Hopefully opening a nonprofit to help those in need of basic math tutoring. I wish to break the banking model of education and introduce a problem-posing model of learning. This model was introduced by Paulo Freire, and it involves presenting students with worldly problems that relate to their lives. It also pushes them to analyze how and why those problems exist. This empowers people to question their conditions as well as encouraging a mentor-peer dialogue.
I love Mathnasium because: It shapes the learning plan to the child and not the child to the learning plan. I am able to help give students the confidence to tackle their math work.

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