Meet the Team at Mathnasium of Muswell Hill

Milly

Milly studied animal science and worked as a vet nurse for 2 years, but she has always loved maths and thinks that it is the foundation of all knowledge and all life. In her spare time she plays the piano, paints and reads books about maths & mathematicians through the ages. Before working at Mathnasium, Milly spent a year in South Africa caring for injured wildlife, but eventually wanted a more challenging and mentally stimulating occupation. She finds teaching children really rewarding and loves to see them developing a true understanding & enjoyment of maths.

Remi

Remi studied International Business, Economics and Politics with an emphasis on accounting at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo. Whilst living in Japan, she deepened her appreciation of maths as it was integral to her earlier career development. Working in the financial services' software industry, Remi supported and educated clients in their usage and understanding of the financial modelling the maths engine provided and developed internal communication workflows and content creation capabilities. 

Remi settled in North London eleven years ago, and her two children happily attend school in Muswell Hill. She loves to help and watch her elder child's growth in his love for the subject and become the sweetest numeracy mentor to his younger sister. But most of all, Remi loves engaging in the community for the direct benefit of the children. She is passionate about creating a fun, engaging and inspiring environment that empowers our Mathnasium students with the twin tools of numeracy and problem solving that are so valuable to have in life. She also enjoys yoga.

Paniz

Paniz is a Maths postgrad who stumbled into a career as a translator following the completion of her Masters. She serendipitously stumbled upon Mathnasium while needing a change and has relished the focus back on Maths. She finds satisfaction in the linear logic and concrete solutions, but also the creativity available in higher mathematics, all codifying universal truths and serving as the ultimate language. She has found getting to know the students extremely enriching and is committed to helping them increase their ease, enthusiasm and achievement in maths.

Phillip

Philip studied maths, statistics and operational research at the University of Manchester and then worked for 15 years as a City Trader and then 15 years working for a large American IT company.

He is now enjoying the most fulfilling part of his career.
