Helen Feng

Helen recently graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School in the class of 2023. With a keen interest in mathematics, she decided to become a tutor at Mathnasium a year ago. She enjoys sharing her passion for math with younger students. In her free time, she loves singing and dancing.

Simon Bordoli

Simon is a sophomore at the Urban School of San Francisco. He is the president of the school’s student-run investment club, a peer tutor for Mandarin Chinese, and a member of the Varsity teams for soccer and tennis. His hobbies include building Lego, reading science-fiction novels, and watching soccer. His favorite element of math is the importance of understanding the underlying concepts rather than simply knowing the correct answer—it is important to know why you’re right, not just that you are right. This approach encourages learning rather than memorization! He is excited to share his passion for math with Mathnasium students.
