Linh Vu

Owner

Linh is the Owner of Mathnasium of Bayview Sheppard. Linh's extensive knowledge of mathematics education and curriculum make her a valuable asset to the centre. For more than 20 years, Linh has worked with leading math experts, publishers, and the Ministry of Education to create mathematics learning materials for K-12 classrooms. Having recently completed work on a pre-calculus student and teacher resource for Grades 11 and 12, Linh is currently working with a leading math publisher on the development of a brand new national core math series for K-9 schools that will support and address new changes to the Ontario curriculum. Linh's commitment to education in the STEM fields and her belief in the importance of providing children with a strong foundation of mathematical learning led her to Mathnasium. She is a graduate of the University of Toronto Honours Physics program and has lived in the Bayview York Mills area for close to 20 years. Linh's 16-year-old twin boys have grown up in the neighbourhood school system and are avid math learners. She looks forward to developing your child's love of math and is excited to be an active partner in your child's education.

David Ku

David Ku, Online Administrator

David has a Bachelor of Arts in Financial Mathematics and a Master of Science In Statistics. Before Mathnasium, he worked as a peer tutor and as a mathematics teaching assistant for high school students and for first year university students. He has experience teaching a variety of math subjects, including calculus, linear algebra, introductory statistics, and introduction to mathematics for finance. David’s approach to teaching mathematics is to keep things simple and to be aware of multiple approaches to solve math problems. He knows that each student is unique, so David always comes equipped with differentiated instruction techniques to ensure that students learn the math in a way that makes sense to them. In his spare time, David likes to cook, watch Counter-Strike on Twitch.tv, and do classes at his fitness kickboxing gym.

Instructors

At Mathnasium, our primary prerequisites for instructors are to be excellent at math, to interact well with children, and to be able to teach exceptionally. Our instructors include certified math teachers, university graduates of math, physics, aeronautical engineering, computer science, and statistics. We find that children are inspired by those who have taken their math knowledge and are looking to apply it in the real world. Our instructors become role models to our students, showing them that math doesn't have to be intimidating and can be fun. We have even had younger students express their goal of wanting to be a Mathnasium instructor and help kids learn math when they grow up. I don't think it is saying too much that Mathnasium instructors change lives, helping students to achieve their full potential, and encouraging them to embrace math instead of giving up on it.

Our Mathnasium Mission

Teach children math so they understand it, master it, and love it. Math can change their lives, and they can change the world.

What I love about Mathnasium is the ability to teach problem-solving skills and make math make sense, while also making a student smile.
