He is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Accounting and Analytics at CSU East Bay as a fully online student. Mathematics has always had a special place in his life. After the Covid-19 quarantine, Diego returned to school with renewed motivation, determined to explore math as deeply as possible.

Hello! I'm Conrad and I am one of the instructors that grant children a better understanding of math here. I was born in Berkeley and spent nearly my entire life living in the eastern Bay Area. Math has been my favorite School subject since preschool and I have excelled in every math class I've been in (Geometry was pretty tough though). I moved to Santa Monica with my family after I graduated from high school in 2024 and have been attending Santa Monica College ever since. My interests other than math include computer programming, modern history, economics and cats!
Hey I’m Joseph! I graduated from Berkeley with a BA in Russian Literature, but I’d study math if I could do it all again! I think math is beautiful like art or music. You can walk around a whole mathematical universe with only your mind. I find that fascinating. I am so convinced that math is fun that I made it my job at Mathnasium. Best choice ever. Beyond math, I like studying world religions, martial arts, and staring up at the night sky
Hi, my name is Nathan! I graduated with a BA in Communication and a minor in Digital Humanities from UCLA and am currently taking classes in Animation at Santa Monica College. At Mathnasium, I enjoy both the process of instructing students in problem-solving and walking them through the newest game of the month. I’ve also discovered ways that learning and teaching math can help me become a better artist. Outside of the center, I enjoy taking my bike out to the beach, watching movies, and exploring more of the city.
Teach children math so they understand it, master it, and love it. Math can change their lives, and they can change the world.
