Eugene has a bachelor’s degree in Physics and Mathematics Education and is currently completing his master’s thesis in Distance Education. He has over 8 years of teaching experience, both in in-person and online. During this time, Eugene has taught science and math to students from elementary to high school and tutored students individually.

Growing up, Eugene enjoyed playing strategic games and loved math because it felt like a game to him. As a teacher, Eugene prefers to make math fun by turning it into challenges and puzzles. Eugene believes in making his learning space relaxing and fostering curiosity in students, so students have the best chance of success. All he asks is that his students come with an open mind and a willingness to try new things.

If you’re looking for Eugene on the weekends, you’ll likely find him at a trivia or quiz night, fully locked in to win. On random days, you might see him café hopping, playing RPGs (Final Fantasy, Zelda, or Pokémon), watching reality TV competitions, journaling, or reviewing pieces of pop culture. Eugene can get really nature-immersed, being on the beach or a nearby mountain, but is also happy to stay home and binge-watch a show.

Mandi is a disability advocate, writer, and analytic researcher who is passionate about accessible education. As a disabled individual with years of experience as a student and over 10 years working in education, she knows first-hand that working for an education system when it’s not built for you comes with its own set of challenges and victories. During her political science MA program at the University of Michigan, Mandi studied disability politics specifically focused on finding ways to increase accessibility to education for disabled students.

Mandi’s passion for education and advocacy further extends to The S.T.I.M. Project, an autistic-led, non-profit organization she co-founded in 2023. The S.T.I.M Project provides sensory tools and informational materials to autistic individuals and their families at no cost.

Some of Mandi’s favorite things outside of education are reading and writing, games of all kinds, and overly-ambitious organization projects. She also spends her time cuddling with her puppy Keedie who demands all of the attention that she can get (deservingly so).

Mandi knows from her own experiences how little individualized support is available for neurodivergent students and how critical that support is to their success in education. Her goal is to provide a supportive and empathetic learning environment that is focused on helping each student recognize their unique strengths and learning needs to help their confidence grow.

Erin is a licensed kindergarten through eighth-grade teacher. Between her time in a brick-and-mortar classroom and online teaching, she has over a decade of experience teaching.

Some of Erin’s favorite things include adventurous backpacking trips, evening walks with her family, long naps with her cats, board game parties (with snacks of course), and all things music.

It’s Erin’s goal to help students take pride in their educational accomplishments to foster an enthusiasm for learning. She has witnessed many students use this as a springboard to reach new heights.

While this doesn’t come without challenges along the way, Erin will be there to help students strap on their thinking caps, chinch up their tool belts, and face obstacles head-on.

Janae’s love of teaching began in early childhood when she would play “school” with her younger sister. As she grew up, she learned that teaching was not just bossing her sister around and putting stickers on paper, but helping others learn. Janae enjoys helping others learn so much that she has also worked as an instructional coach for teachers so they could better support their students. Janae’s goal is to help as many people as possible become flexible problem solvers who can tackle any obstacle that comes their way.

Janae has two bachelor’s degrees, one in Business Economics (she briefly thought she might do something besides teaching and quickly realized how silly that was) and one in Secondary Mathematics Education. She also has a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction.

When Janae is not thinking about education—which is not a lot of the time—you can find her cuddling with her two perfect dogs, leading a garden gnome society, or playing all kinds of games with her husband, family, and friends.

Heather is a licensed educator with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a master’s degree in Early Childhood Education. She first trained as a reading interventionist to better reach students with dyslexia. Heather then went looking for training on multi-sensory techniques for math and found MFM and fell in love.

Heather has worked in a variety of educational settings with students from K – 12. She has a passion for teaching students who learn differently, especially for twice-exceptional students. Their giftedness and areas of disability make for very unique learning needs.

Heather’s goal is to teach students foundational skills that allow them to understand math processes and become more efficient mathematicians. Heather’s students learn that mistakes are part of the learning process. But most of all, she wants her students to love and appreciate math.

Adrianne is the Founder and CEO of MFM. She is a certified teacher with over a decade of experience tutoring middle and high school students in math. She received training from ASDEC.org in Multisensory Math 1 & 2.

With her many years as a tutor and owner of MFM, Adrianne has seen up close how using multisensory math techniques with students leads to more confidence, higher grades, but also a rooted understanding of how math works.

Adrianne’s goal is to bring multisensory math to as many students as possible. To help those who learn differently to have success in the classroom and in life.
