Ventura / Our Team

Glo

Lead Instructor

I'm a graduate of Cal State Channel Islands! When I'm not at Mathnasium, I like to draw/do art. Fun fact- I was once on NPR! My favorite number is 6, because it's perfect. My favorite math topic is Topology. My favorite math joke is- Why was the math book sad? It had a lot of problems! In five years, I will be... 5 years older

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!

Adriana

Instructor

I went to St. Bonaventure High School and Ventura College. When I'm not at Mathnasium I like to go to the beach any time I get, try new coffee shops, and shoot and edit video content. A fun fact about me is that I played softball from the age of 6 all the way through college. My favorite number is 4 because it was my jersey number throughout my sports career. My favorite math topic is algebra equations. My favorite math joke- I saw my math teacher with a piece of graph paper yesterday...she must be plotting something! In 5 years, I will be happy and healthy.

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 read, make art, and listen to music. 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 have a master's degree in math.

Alexa

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.

Crystal

Instructor

I am currently a student at Cabrillo College. When I'm not at Mathnasium, I like to spend time in nature with friends, playing video games, making art, and working on coding projects. A fun fact about me is I love styling my own hair. I've cut and dyed it myself since I was 16. My favorite number is 7 because I love prime numbers. My favorite math topic is algebra. My favorite math joke: How do you make 7 even? Subtract the s! In 5 years I will be a software engineer.

Our Mathnasium Mission

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

What I love about Mathnasium is the ability to teach problem-solving skills and make math make sense, while also making a student smile.
