Vaibhav

Hi, I’m Vaibhav, but feel free to call me ‘Vai’ – I know my full name can be a bit tricky to pronounce! I’ve earned my Master’s in Applied Science in Environmental Engineering from Carleton University in Ottawa, and I’m currently working as a Water and Wastewater Process Engineer EIT at AECOM Canada.

Outside of work, I love meeting new people, exploring fresh places, and trying new foods – there’s always something exciting to discover! I’ve been passionate about teaching since my school days at Carleton, and I truly believe that learning never stops. Everyone has something to teach us in life, and I’m eager to share my love of math with kids at Mathnasium.

At Mathnasium, I aim to create an environment where kids feel welcomed, excited, and have fun learning math. I want every child I work with to feel comfortable and encouraged, making math an enjoyable experience while fostering a love for learning that goes beyond the classroom.

Hawk

Hi, I'm Hawk! I'm a 3rd year Chemical Engineering student at McMaster University taking a year off! I'm super interested in foreign languages (working on my DALF C1 right now) and have some experience teaching them to kids from elementary to high school. In my spare time, I love to geek out about Effective Altruism, neuroscience, and AI safety!

In my time at Mathnasium, I am looking forward to helping kids learn to overcome their fear of math and to develop more confidence around learning generally, especially in self-directed ways beyond the school curriculum. Having gotten a small taste of the culture here, I have a feeling that this is just the place to be to really be able to teach toward actual conceptual understanding and mastery beyond just memorization in a positive, stimulating environment!

Pranjal

Hi! My name is Pranjal, and I’m currently studying Computer Programming and Analysis at

Seneca Polytechnic. I’ve been tutoring students from Grades 2 to 10 for over a year, making math

lessons playful and interactive with visual games, creative activities, and real-world examples. I love

painting and getting lost in mystery and sci-fi novels, and I’m always up for solving complex problems—

whether it’s a tricky math equation or a challenging puzzle.

At Mathnasium, I’m excited to share my love for math and help students see it not as a chore, but as a

series of fun challenges waiting to be solved. I believe every problem is an opportunity to think

differently, grow skills, and feel that “aha!” moment. I’m looking forward to inspiring confidence,

curiosity, and a genuine enjoyment of math in every student I meet here!

Leon

Hey there! My name is Leon, and I just graduated high school in June, and will be starting at the University of Waterloo & Laurier this fall. If there’s one thing that I’m sure about myself, it’s that I love learning. During math lessons, I often find that a burst of fascination will escape me, presenting itself as, “That’s so cool!” When I first started out as a peer tutor at my school, I would constantly hear heavy sighs followed by comments pertaining to, “I guess I’m just bad at Math.” But day after day, I would see the students I tutored improve foundational skills such as problem solving and perseverance. I grew to understand that every kid has the unlimited potential to excel at math, with the right support and an environment that fosters learning and curiosity. That’s exactly what I plan to achieve during my time at Mathnasium. I like to think of myself as a simple person: I love learning; I love math; and I love sharing my passions. I hope to grow alongside the students at Mathnasium as I continue to develop my skills as an educator and I explore my love for Math!

Arshdeep

Hi everyone, my name is Arshdeep! I'm in my third year at the University of Toronto, studying Civil Engineering. Given my field, I am passionate about problem-solving, mathematics and design. Math has always been a large part of my life, and I find joy in diving into problems and critical thinking! I bring a robust background of tutoring and camp counselling experience, working with students of various ages and skill levels. Outside the classroom, you can find me on a volleyball court or out hiking with family and friends! I believe Mathnasium's engaging atmosphere and welcoming teaching staff make it a fun environment for students to make mistakes and learn in. As a recent addition to the team at Mathnasium of Markham, I look forward to working with all of you and am thrilled to hone my teaching skills further to help our students!

Serena

Hi everyone, my name is Serena! I’m in my sophomore (2nd) year studying Biomedical Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University. Given my chosen field of study, I find immense joy in delving into various mathematical subjects such as Calculus and Linear Algebra. In addition to my academic background I’ve also taken on roles as a private tutor, working with students of various ages and skill levels. During my free time, you can find me singing, dancing, going on nature walks, and certainly goofing around with some family and friends. I am a firm believer in teaching math for comprehension rather than rote memorization, a philosophy in which Mathnasium truly shines. Even at my interview I observed how the entire team employs various methods of teaching in their instruction with students. In my short time at Mathnasium so far I've already felt the inclusive vibe, where mistakes are embraced and taken as experiences to learn from rather than frowned upon, whether by students or staff. As a math instructor I am thrilled to impart my math enthusiasm alongside my innate passion to help others. I eagerly anticipate contributing to this team and advancing both my own and the students' learning journeys!

Sandy

My name is Sandy and I’m a grade 12 student. In terms of my interests, I enjoy learning about a variety of topics and analyzing them, hence why I like math! From as young as I can remember, I have been teaching and learning from a variety of people, my family, friends, teachers, and peers. I love watching people get this “aha!” moment when they understand a topic, so I always do my best to make sure the people I engage with understand the “why’s” of the world rather than memorizing facts. I love Mathnasium for its focus on understanding alongside their use of positive reinforcement to encourage students. The moment I stepped into the building, I was in awe of the focused and welcoming atmosphere with decals and painted walls. It surprised me so much to see math represented in such a positive and uplifting manner. The team is so kind and welcoming; I am thrilled to work alongside the staff and students alike!
