Amy

Instructor

Math has always been apart of Amy's life. She enjoys solving problems and getting to learn about the math behind everything. She chose Mathnasium because it allows her to share her passion with other children; letting them know that math is not hard and that she will always be here to make math feel easier for them. 

Nora

Instructor

Nora brings sharp analytical skills to our team as a math tutor, helping students demystify complex concepts and build lasting academic confidence. Her approach is grounded in a deep understanding of data and instruction, drawing from her experience as an environmental science tutor and her work in geospatial data mapping. By combining her scientific background with a patient, structured teaching style, Nora excels at breaking down challenging mathematical principles into relatable, engaging, and easy-to-understand lessons for learners of all levels.

Nora chose Mathnasium because she thinks students learn best when they're having fun! Her favorite part about teaching math is helping students discover their own mathematical processes. When students know how they learn best, they're set up for success in all subjects.

When she isn't busy making math click for students, Nora has a passion for exploring the world and leading teams. She holds a degree in Environmental Science, has studied ecology abroad in Tanzania, and has even directed a university apiary (bee farm)! As an NCAA Fencing Squad Captain, she knows exactly how to motivate others, bring high energy, and coach students to achieve their personal best. Nora hopes to use her mathematical skills in land conservation after Mathnasium.
