Lin

About Me

I am incredibly passionate about helping children achieve academic success, especially when it comes to the magic of math! With a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Administration from UNLV, I’ve dedicated my career to creating positive personal connections and experiences with families. I truly believe that every single child can excel when they are given the right support, encouragement, and opportunities to learn.

For me, math is a powerful doorway to building a student's confidence, strengthening their skills, and helping them reach their full potential. My main focus is always on student success, enrollment, and building strong engagement with our families. I’m thrilled to be part of this journey, helping our students unlock doors to a bright future - one confident smile and math breakthrough at a time!

Brendan

About Me

Growing up in Taiwan, math was not always easy for me. Like many students, I struggled to understand concepts and often felt frustrated when things didn't click right away. It wasn't until high school, when I had teachers who showed me effective learning habits and problem-solving strategies, that math began to make sense. With the right guidance and support, I gained confidence and eventually developed a genuine appreciation for the subject.

That experience is what inspires me at Mathnasium today. I understand what it's like to feel stuck, and I know how powerful it can be when a student finally experiences that "I get it!" moment. My goal is to help every student build confidence, develop strong math skills, and discover that they are capable of more than they think.

Parents often tell me they want their children to feel confident, motivated, and successful in math. As someone who has personally overcome math challenges, I am passionate about creating a supportive learning environment where students can grow academically while building confidence that extends beyond the classroom.

Outside of Mathnasium, I am pursuing a degree in Business and Finance, where I continue to strengthen the analytical and problem-solving skills that I enjoy sharing with students every day.
