Our staff is built to teach each student individually, to develop the skills they need to thrive in mathematics, and to foster a love of learning.

Nikolai

Instructor

Nikolai is currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington Bothell and brings his love of math and problem-solving straight into the learning center. He enjoys working with students of all ages, but Calculus is his happy place!

What Nikolai loves most about math is its predictability — the way every problem has a pathway to the answer. He also genuinely enjoys working with students because, in his words, “it’s fun!” His sessions are full of energy, curiosity, and plenty of laughs. Students adore him for the way he makes even challenging concepts feel simple, clear, and enjoyable.

He especially loves seeing that spark of wonder when something “clicks.” His favorite quote, “Practice makes perfect,” guides the way he teaches and encourages every learner.

We’re so lucky to have him on the Mathnasium of Monroe team!

Kerttu

Instructor

Kerttu is a student at Cascadia College with plans to major in Biomedical Engineering. She loves teaching Algebra and is drawn to math because, to her, “it always makes sense.”

Kerttu has a natural gift for working with kids — she’s engaging, upbeat, and knows exactly how to keep learning fun while still helping students stay focused and on track. Her patience and clear explanations make her a favorite among learners who appreciate how she breaks things down in a way that just clicks.

She’s noticed that practicing with real-life examples and repeating concepts in different ways is what truly helps students succeed. Her favorite moment? Seeing that spark when a student suddenly gets it.

We’re thrilled to have Kerttu on the Mathnasium of Monroe team!
