Paige

Instructor

Hi! I’m Paige and I am current math and statistics student at Minnesota State, Mankato with a goal of someday working in Sports Analytics. I always had a passion for math growing up, and I’m excited to help the kids at Mathnasium build their confidence and hopefully enjoy math too! Outside of work, I love going to concerts, traveling, and keeping up with Minnesota sports. A fun fact about me: my favorite number is 11, but for no reason pertaining to math! It was my very first jersey number and I stuck with it through high school.

Elora

Instructor

Hello! My name is Elora, and I am a current student of Mechanical Engineering at MSU. 

I came to Mankato after transferring from Normandale Community College after completing my AA in Mathematics and an AS in Engineering Broadfield. 

I previously have had multiple tutoring jobs, and enjoyed working with kids and seeing their minds at work. It's my philosophy that people should always be learning and honing their skills, and one of the best ways is with practice. Teaching and tutoring helps keep me sharp, and I really enjoy tutoring high school level math like Algebra and Pre-Calc. In my free time, I am part of the robotics club, enjoy video games, reading, travelling, and hiking. I hope to do a lot more travelling out of the country in the future 

My favorite number: 8, because I like the symmetry of it and that it's basically a sideways infinity sign. I also like that it is a composite number that has a lot of use for expanded knowledge in mathematics (be it extending their knowledge in fractions, decimals, or creating an extra challenge for math facts).

My favorite math joke: What do you call two friends who love math? Algebros

Cotten

Instructor

Hello everyone! My name is Cotten, and I am an instructor at the Mathnasium of Mankato. I have been a Mathnasium Instructor since January 2025, and within those first few months, I have been developed a strong understanding of the Mathnasium Methodology and the differences and needs of the students.    

I am a student at the University of Florida, currently working on a Computer Science Engineering degree while using my skills learned in that time to assist students with their problems and help them build a strong math foundation and catch up, keep up or stay ahead. 

Other than teaching, my passions are researching the history of WW1, WW2, and the Cold War.  I regularly attending G-Fest, as I am a huge fan of the Godzilla franchise and all it has to offer and enjoy listening to classical jazz compositions, especially ones primarily focusing around the trumpet. I really enjoy seeing the smiles of all the students as they learn more on the pathway to boost their confidence within mathematics.

My favorite number in mathematics is pi because of the vast possibilities on what the next numbers in the sequence could possibly be."

Henry

Instructor

Hey! My name is Henry and I am currently taking the Mathematics Education route at Minnesota State University, Mankato hoping to one day become a Math Teacher! I've always really enjoyed math and the many different ways you can go about a problem but still find the same/correct answer. I've always loved helping my friends with their homework and mastering concepts when I was in grade school. I hope to share my passion for math with everyone at Mathnasium! Other than math I enjoy being outdoors doing different activities like sports and hiking, I also have a lot of fun spending time with friends, and playing all types of games!
