Meet the Team at Mathnasium of Saskatoon

Niloufar

She also likes swimming and cooking. Her motto: Be kind.

Rubin

When you meet Rubin, he will undoubtedly be sporting a huge smile! Rubin is working on his bachelor's degree in Bioinformatics at the University of Saskatchewan. When he's not studying or at Mathnasium, he can be found watching 'Friends' reruns, or coding for fun. Ask me about shoes!

Kassandra earned 5 years of experience as a Mathnasium student before joining our staff - and her enthusiasm is palpable even to our online students. She has grown to love math and loves helping other students learn to love it too. When Kassandra isn't at Mathnasium she'll be spending her time dancing, biking, reading, or walking her dogs.

Affaan

Affaan has loved math since a young age and his passion for math & science has inspired him to work with our youngest students supporting them in their math journeys. Not so long ago Affaan was a Mathnasium student himself! Now he is studying Kinesiology at the UofS.

Nathan Windels

Nathan is the Owner of Mathnasium of Saskatoon. Nathan has both a B.Eng. and M.Eng. from the University of Saskatchewan, and while at the UofS, he received several NSERC research scholarships as well as Graduate Teaching Fellowships to teach a general engineering course at the UofS for two consecutive years. Although involved in many extra-curricular activities and competitions, the highlight of his involvement at the UofS was being a part of the USST during NASA's space elevator centennial challenge. Nathan is married with four kids. Watching students struggle in math prompted him to begin his journey to the discovery of the Mathnasium Method. He is dedicated to helping the children and teens of the Saskatoon community and across the province truly understand math by teaching it in ways that make sense to them.

Leah Windels

She has also seen first-hand the impact a program like Mathnasium can have on homework time, children's attitudes, and family dynamics. Leah works mostly in the background making sure that payments are processed as efficiently as possible. Leah also does a great job picking fun items for the Mathnasium Prize cabinet, and likes going on adventures with her puppy.
