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.

Adriana Jordan

Centre Director / Owner

Adriana holds a B.Sc. in Actuarial Science and came to Canada to pursue a PhD in Mathematics at the University of Ottawa. While tutoring in the university's Math Help Centre, she discovered how much she loved teaching students of all ages and levels. 

She saw how early support makes a lifelong difference in students’ confidence and academic success. That belief led her and her husband, Alberto, to open Mathnasium to bring early, personalized math instruction to families in Ottawa.

Francis Kawan

Instructor

Francis taught high school math and science for 20 years with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board before taking time off to raise his children. Now back in the classroom, he brings deep experience and extraordinary patience to his role at Mathnasium. 

His love for teaching and calm presence make him a favorite among students. When he’s not at the center or with his family, Francis enjoys roaming the forest with a map and compass in hand.

Our Mathnasium Mission

Teach children math so they understand it, master it, and love it. Math can change their lives, and they can change the world.

What I love about Mathnasium is the ability to teach problem-solving skills and make math make sense, while also making a student smile.
