Adrianne Meldrum
Adrianne Meldrum is the founder and owner of Made for Math (MFM), an innovative online math center dedicated to supporting students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and math learning disabilities.

Her journey began while tutoring math and exploring the impacts of dyslexia, sparking the question, “If this is prevalent in reading, what about math?” This curiosity led her to discover the limited knowledge and resources available for dyscalculia at the time. This led Adrianne to connect with Marilyn Zecher and become a certified Multisensory Math Instructor.

She went on to establish MFM, bringing together a team of passionate individuals who share the belief that every child is made for math and capable of achieving great things. Adrianne holds a Master’s Degree from Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity. She lives in Mesa, AZ, with her husband and three sons, where she enjoys the beauty of stunning desert sunsets.

Heather Brand
Heather, the Operations Manager at Made for Math, has over 15 years of experience in education, beginning her career in the classroom and tutoring prior to that. Early on, she noticed that about a fifth of her students didn’t respond as expected to traditional school curriculums, a pattern she observed even when transitioning to teaching in gifted education—including with her own child.

This discovery sparked her passion for understanding dyslexia, neurodiversity, and the science of reading. Heather became a trained reading interventionist through Neuhaus and achieved remarkable success in helping students overcome reading challenges. Motivated to find a similar approach for math, she discovered Made for Math and became a trained practitioner in Marilyn Zecher’s Multisensory Math. Heather’s expertise and dedication continue to transform the learning experiences of neurodiverse students.

Experience That Counts: 20,000+ Hours of Transforming Math Struggles into Confidence!

The team really thinks of everything and works to meet the needs of each student exactly where they are at to build a strong foundation. My daughter has never complained about her tutoring sessions and instead often tells me “Ms. Rebecca taught me that!” when I ask her how she knows so much : ) The entire staff at Made For Math are dedicated, critical thinking, problem solvers that go above and beyond to work with families to help their children reach their full potential. The team takes the time to answer our many questions and even dive into the methodology of their approach. Thank you for the compassion and flexibility you have shown our family and the solid math foundation you have diligently laid brick by brick with our daughter.

I used the Hungarian 10 frame today with a child that always starts with 1. She grouped the 5 right away and didn’t count at all to complete 5+2, 5+3… It was amazing and she felt such success! Thank you for sharing at the conference in Baton Rouge!

I have enjoyed Adrianne’s expertise and the way she leverages her knowledge, in-depth review of research, empathy and interpersonal skills to transform the lives of children and those who are committed to helping them succeed. Parents can expect - expertise, exceptional skills, compassion and connection.
