Our staff is built to teach each student individually, to develop the skills they need to thrive in mathematics, and to foster a love of learning.

Eli

Instructor
I am currently attending Ventura College. Outside of Mathnasium, I like to play guitar, lift weights, swim, and watch movies. A fun fact about me is that I moved to Ventura from Illinois when I was 11. My favorite number is Pi, because it is a never ending number found in every circle. My favorite math topic is Algebra, since it allows you to manipulate expressions and equations. Why do no other numbers listen to Pi? Because Pi is always irrational! In 5 years I will have a Bachelor's degree and will be working full time in STEM.

Naomi

Instructor
I went to school at St. Bonaventure High School and now VC. When I'm not at Mathnasium I like to play songs on guitar and spend time outside with my cat, Shadow. Fun fact: My soccer teammates and I won the CIF championship for the 2021 season! My favorite number is 9, because it is my position number in soccer (center forward) and also my jersey number! My favorite math topic is Proportions. My favorite math joke: How do you stay warm in a cold room? You go to the corner - it's always 90 degrees! In five years, I will be finishing college with a degree in psychology and looking to start my career!

Sam

Instructor
I currently attend Moorpark College. When I'm not at Mathnasium I like to go hiking with my dog and watch movies. A fun fact about me is that I was an extra in a short film in 2020 that won a few awards. My favorite number is 17 because it is both my dogs and grandfather's birthday (11/17). Plus, it's just a solid number. My favorite math topic is Algebra because I'm a fan of moving numbers and letters around. It's like a big puzzle. My favorite math joke- I saw my math teacher with a piece of graph paper yesterday...I think they're plotting something! In 5 years, I will be in possession of a computer science degree (hopefully from UC Santa Cruz!) and working somewhere in that industry.

August

Assistant Center Director
I went to school at Mound, Balboa, Buena, VC, and UCLA! When I'm not at Mathnasium I like to watch anime, play video games, and spend time with my girlfriend. Fun fact: I love Rubik's cubes and can solve one in under a minute; I even programmed my own Rubik's cube app! My favorite number is 45, because it's the first number of my very first ID in elementary school. My favorite math topic is Probability, because I find the idea of chance and randomness very interesting. My favorite math joke- Are monsters good at math? Not unless you Count Dracula! In five years, I will be teaching high school math.

Paul

Instructor
I went to school at Oxnard High, Ventura College, and CSUCI. When I'm not at Mathnasium, I like to listen to music and spend time with my son. Fun fact- I once came up with a math proof in the shower! My favorite number is 716 because it's my son's birthday. My favorite math topic is Calculus. My favorite math joke- Pi: Quit being a square! Square: You're being irrational! In five years, I will be a grandfather?

Esmeralda

Center Director
I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2021. When I'm not at Mathnasium, I like to play tennis and dance. Fun fact: I've traveled abroad to 5 countries! My favorite number is Infinity (even though it's not technically a number), because of infinite possibilities and infinity being the sum of small steps. My favorite math topic is calculus. My favorite math joke- Hey have you ever noticed what's odd? Every other number! In five years, I will be doing what I love!

Alexa

Instructor
I am currently a student at Oxnard College. When I'm not at Mathnasium, I like to spend time at the beach, read, and go to the gym. A fun fact about me is I can recite the entire dialogue of the Titanic movie. My favorite number is 9 because it's the day I was born and it's said to be a "magic" number. My favorite math topic is derivatives. My favorite math joke- What's a math teacher's favorite season? SUMmer! In 5 years I will be a math teacher.
