Our caring tutors guide students through multi-step equations, linear functions, graphing, and word problems using personalized plans that turn this pivotal course into a confident foundation for future math success.
We support students with fast-paced, complex topics—factoring polynomials, quadratics, exponentials, and logarithms—building advanced problem-solving skills needed for Precalculus and college-prep coursework.
At Mathnasium of Annapolis, our specially trained math tutors help students of all skill levels build understanding and confidence in algebra. From Pre-Algebra to Algebra 2, we guide students step-by-step through key concepts ranging from basic expressions to complex equations and functions.
In a fun, supportive group setting, our tutors explain algebra in clear, relatable language that makes sense. Using proven strategies, they help students grasp not just how to solve problems, but why the methods work—developing lasting skills and a stronger connection to math.

Each student begins with a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to identify their current skills, knowledge gaps, and goals.
Using those insights, we create a personalized learning plan designed to target exactly what each student needs, whether that means catching up, keeping up, or moving ahead. Our tutors adapt lessons in real time, ensuring students make consistent progress and develop a deep, lasting understanding of algebra.

Miles Dougherty
Lead Instructor
My name is Miles and I am one of the Lead Instructors at Mathnasium of Annapolis. I started working here about a year ago because I wanted to work somewhere that I could do lots of math. In my free time, I like playing the piano or guitar. On clear nights, I like going out and seeing what constellations I can find. I am currently in college getting my bachelors in astronomy and I will hopefully get my masters after that.
Robbie Wagner
Lead Instructor
I started at Mathnasium as a student in December of 2017 and began excelling shortly after. In July of 2022 I became an instructor and have enjoyed every moment ofsince. I enjoy teaching math and seeing faces bright up as students grow more confident. When I am not at school or instructing, you can find me volunteering as a firefighter/emt at Woodland Beach Volunteer fire department. I also study and report severe weather as a National weather service field spotter.
Isabel Damian

Marcel Peyton
Instructor
Finding out what your calling is in your life is an interesting journey. At first I thought it was gaming and I spent countless hours reaching the top 1% of players in North America in League of Legends. Then I got m first job delivering packages for Amazon, and I realized I really enjoy providing a service and brightening someones day. I went back to my hobby and started coaching people on the game. I'll never forget some of my students. It has been a pleasant transfer to teaching math. Teaching has always been an intriguing challenge which has kept my attention far more than learning for myself. I am excited for the next day!
