Our staff is built to teach each student individually, to develop the skills they need to thrive in mathematics, and to foster a love of learning.

James Sullivan

Director of Center Operations

James oversees Center Operations across our organization and is one of our most experienced instructors. With a background in pre-med and engineering, he’s long been fascinated by how math explains both everyday tools and complex natural forces. 

James is passionate about helping students develop math confidence and believes math will play a key role in solving future challenges in medicine and technology. He finds joy in seeing students grow, and says working at Mathnasium has been one of the most rewarding parts of his career.
