Ashish Thakkar

Central Director

Ashish Thakkar has always had a deep appreciation for math, a subject he fell in love with during his elementary school years. With a Pharmacy degree from Sardar Patel University, India, and an M.S. in Quality Assurance and Regulatory Science from Northwestern University, he has spent years working in the clinical research industry in various roles. Throughout his career, he has seen firsthand how strong problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and analytical thinking—skills rooted in mathematics—are essential in everyday life and professional success. Ashish is passionate about helping children develop a solid math foundation in a way that is engaging, accessible, and tailored to their learning needs. He firmly believes that math is more than just numbers; it is a life skill that enhances critical thinking, decision-making, and confidence in every child. Whether it’s managing finances, understanding patterns in nature, or excelling in STEM careers, math plays a crucial role in shaping a successful future.
