Erica Smith

Assistant Director

I became an aunt at nine years old, so I have been working with and mentoring children for a long time and have loved every minute of it. While I wait for Jim Butcher to finish The Dresden Files, I have just started reading Kevin Hearne's The Iron Druid Chronicles and am very excited and optimistic. The highlight of my week is watching Sven Goolie on Saturday night with my husband.  My highest math level includes Non-Euclidean Geometry, Introduction to Algebraic Structures, Differential Equations.  When I first started at Mathnasium, I learned so many alternative methods to solve math problems that just made sense, and I was constantly asking, "Why isn't math taught this way everywhere?!" Getting to share repeated "lightbulb moments" with kids over this approach unique to Mathnasium has kept me coming back, and now I couldn't imagine working anywhere else.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER?  4.  Days spent with my husband and our two boys--or, as we call them, Four Family Days--are the best!

WHICH MATH WORD BEST DESCRIBES YOU?  Ceiling Function.  No matter the input, I am always pushing it to the next level. 

Zachary Waltz

Assistant Director

Since I was young, I have always loved all things beautiful.  While I was proficient in math, I first perceived its beauty when I studied Euclid’s elements in college.  This inspired me to pursue teaching the subject for fifteen years.   When I became an Instructor at Mathnasium and learned about their teaching methods, I was astonished at their ability to show young people the beautiful simplicity of math.  It has been a delight to help Mathnasium students perceive that beauty and ultimately fall in love with math.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER?  All of the Fibonacci numbers!  They are the foundation of the Golden Ratio, and its manifestation in nature is beautiful.

WHICH MATH WORD BEST DESCRIBES YOU?  Infinite Series.  I am always adding on to my love of knowledge.




Stan Hunnicutt

Assistant Director

I have worked in Chemistry for 25 years and have learned that Chemistry is mostly math.  It’s not a coincidence that we write chemical “equations.”  I have taught adults and children in some capacity throughout my career and found a real love of guiding students to their “Aha!” moment.  There is nothing better than the look on the face of someone who finally understands the difficult concept they have been working on.  I live in Carmel with my two daughters.  In my spare time I love to play strategy and board games with my daughters and friends.  It gives me a chance to keep practicing my logic and reasoning skills.  I love the team-teaching approach at Mathnasium, because I get to interact with so many students and aid them on their math journeys.

What is your favorite number?  42.  It’s the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Which math word best describes you?  Infinity.  I love to always learn new things and not limit my thinking.

THE ABSOLUTE MAX

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT MATHNASIUM?  I love talking to the students.  Building connections while helpng them figure things out is always the best part of my shift. 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER?  3.  I think I arbitrarily chose it when I was younger, then it stuck.  It's brought me luck,and it feels balanced.

WHICH MATH WORD BEST DESCRIBES YOU?  Parabola. I always bounce back.
