Eugene Dadol
Math Specialist
View Bio
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.

Pam Daniel
Math Specialist
View Bio
After a 20-year career in engineering, Pam’s love for her godson, two beautiful nieces, and her desire to see them succeed academically with their unique learning needs led her to search for a fresh approach to teaching. She received training in a therapeutic, multisensory Orton-Gillingham-based curriculum for teaching phonics to students with dyslexia. After working with dyslexic students for years, she decided to focus on her love of math and become a dyscalculia specialist.
When she isn’t working, she loves listening to podcasts and audiobooks, especially autobiographies highlighting triumph over adversity. If the weather is nice, she enjoys being outside and going to the lake and beach.
Pam believes everyone can learn math, have fun, and build confidence when afforded a safe, relaxing, and fun space. She can’t wait to work with parents and their children to help them succeed in math and build confidence while having tons of fun!

Mandi Eatough
Math Specialist
View Bio
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 Evans
Training Manager
View Bio
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.

Mary Geoman
Math Specialist

This passion for numbers led Mary to graduate with a Bachelor of Elementary Education and become a licensed teacher in the Philippines. Mary has several years of experience teaching elementary students science, English, and math (Kindergarten-Grade 6). Mary believes education is a basic human right and strongly believes that giving access to students gifted with learning differences and helping them develop a love and deep understanding of math will greatly impact their lives and foster a fun and productive learning experience.
In her free time, Mary loves reading books, cuddling with her fur babies Suki and Yumi, and playing with her Godchildren. Mary has a total of 22 Godchildren which keeps her busy! Mary loves playing with them, teaching them to read, write, and count, and showering them with gifts.

Nicole Grambo
Math Specialist
View Bio
Nicole’s commitment to students with learning differences is deeply personal: dyslexia runs in her family, which inspired her to specialize in multisensory structured literacy interventions. After seeing how these methods transformed her students’ confidence and skills in reading, she asked a critical question: “How can we use the same powerful principles to teach math?” This led her to focus on systematic strategies tailored for students with dyslexia and dyscalculia, helping them thrive in math through hands-on and visual approaches. Nicole believes that strong relationships are the foundation of learning and guides her students and families with patience and commitment. Nicole is ready to celebrate EVERY educational moment with her students and make sure they know she is their biggest cheerleader.
When she’s not in the classroom, Nicole enjoys strategic board games like Splendor, Dominion, and Orleans or exploring Washington’s hidden gems on road trips with her husband. Together, they share their home with four cats, a couch perpetually covered in fur—and plenty of joy!

Deb Lawson
Math Specialist
View Bio
Deb thinks math should feel like a sport—fast-paced, hands-on, and sometimes a little crazy. Deb is all about making learning a blast with games, challenges, and real-life math that actually makes sense. In her class, there is no sitting on the sidelines—everyone is in the game, taking risks, and going for the win!
When Deb is not teaching math, she is coaching competitive gymnastics, literally making kids flip, twist, and fly. Deb knows that in both math and gymnastics, there will be wipeouts and wild moves, but that is where the real magic happens. Deb is also obsessed with her dog, bunnies, snakes, and all things Harry Potter. Don’t be surprised if she sneaks a little magic into math class.
