At Mathnasium, our instructors are the heart of everything we do. Each team member is carefully selected, thoroughly background-checked, and trained over several months before they ever work with students. Most are college-level or above—we rarely hire high school students—and we continue training them every two weeks to stay sharp in both Mathnasium methods and Common Core standards.
We take pride in supporting our instructors so they can give your child the best experience possible. That includes offering competitive pay to attract top talent and making sure everyone on our team meets the highest standards.
What makes our program especially strong is that our leadership team is made up entirely of former instructors. That means every decision we make is grounded in real teaching experience and a deep understanding of what helps students grow and thrive.
