Dominic

My name is Dominic Kent and I am a junior at Lyons Township. I chose to work at Mathnasium Becuase I want to give children the opportunity that I was so lucky to have when I was younger. I am now taking multiple AP math courses aspiring to become a mechanical engineer at the University of Illinois.

Sachin Thakrar

Hi I’m Sachin! I’m a senior at Hinsdale Central high school, and am interested in possibly going into teaching later in life. I myself used to be a student here and jumped at the opportunity to help kids the same way this place helped me. Math has long been one of my favorite subjects, and I hope to spark the same love inside the kids here too.

Omar

Omar graduated from the Northwestern University McCormick School of Engineering with a bachelor of science in civil engineering. After working as a civil engineer for three years following graduation, Omar fed his hunger for entrepreneurship by starting his own construction business, which is still in operation today. Omar was drawn to Mathnasium because it offered something different from other after-school instructional programs, particularly its focus on practical elements of math such as problem solving and mental math. Omar serves on the boards of two private schools in the Western Suburbs of Chicago where he lives with his wife and their three children.
