Daniel Olenick

Assistant Center Director

Daniel graduated with a Bachelor’s of Music in Music Education with a focus in Voice at George Mason University. He’s worked at Mathnasium for five years and loves the joy of helping students grow in both understanding and confidence. His signature teaching skill always improves a student’s independence and confidence by encouraging the students to search for the “why” behind every topic and to “ask themselves the question.”

For Daniel, math is like a puzzle, with each problem offering a chance to think critically and creatively. He brings that same energy to every session, inspiring students to see math as both fun and rewarding. 

Steven Vu

Senior Lead Instructor

Steven graduated from George Mason with a Bachelor's of Science in Computational and Data Science. His love for math started at a very young age, and his passion for teaching only leads him to devote more time and effort into helping students learn to do math and love math the same way that he does. 


To Steven, math is about understanding why things work the way they do, and how to apply it anywhere, even in places that one would least expect math to show up. He is always pushing students to broaden their perspective and to think outside of the box, applying everything they have learned wherever they can, regardless of how irrelevant it may seem.

Max Chiu

Senior Lead Instructor

Max is majoring in Computer Science with minors in Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at Drexel University. His passion for math began early and deepened as he explored how mathematical concepts drive real-world problem-solving in coding and technology. 

At Mathnasium, Max loves helping students discover math’s usefulness and beauty. His goal is to show how the skills they learn can apply far beyond the classroom.
