Dan Markgraf, Center Director

Dan has a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Central Florida. He has been with Mathnasium since 2014. During that time,  Dan has mastered the art of teaching from the fundamentals of mathematics, to higher level topics like Statistics  and Calculus. He feels strongly that no child can learn in a passive, noninteractive environment and that “greatness” exists in all students. Over Dan’s years with the program, he has made it his mission to create a culture in the center where asking questions is encouraged and every child receives the individual care they require. Dan feels this will act   as a pathway to excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (S.T.E.M.) related career fields

The Mathnasium of Wolfchase Instructor Team

The Mathnasium of Wolfchase math instructor team is passionate about math education and math tutoring.  Our passion to inspire children, fused with our knowledge of math, creates extraordinary experiences for our students. We make math make sense.  We make math fun!

• All of our math instructors go through an extensive interview process which includes an evaluation of their ability to work with students.  It's one thing to be knowledgeable in math, but we ensure our instructors have the ability to breakdown and teach math to students in elementary, middle and high school. 

• After successfully completing the interview, instructors must then pass a math test to validate their math resume.

• Before officially being hired, Mathnasium of Wolfchase instructors go through a background check.

• Upon joining the team, our math instructors go through an extensive training process that includes understanding the Mathnasium Method, best practices in math education, techniques for successful math tutoring, and proven strategies for working with students of different abilities to create a personalized math tutoring session.  Whether the student is advanced and gifted, on level and needs help staying there, or needs help catching up, our instructors are trained to ensure children have a successful productive experience at Mathnasium of Wolfchase.  

Our instructor team is made up of individuals who are currently studying at University of Memphis, Rhodes College, recent college graduates, and math educators who are seeking to share their love of math and spend time after their full-time jobs working with students at Mathnasium of Wolfchase.
