Ready to strengthen your student's math skills this summer?

When she founded Mathitude in 2013, Paula set out to pioneer math enrichment that fostered big mathematical thinking through fun presentations that appeal to learners. Rather than drilling students on isolated skills or calculations, Mathitude's signature approach instead integrates skills to combine deep math mastery with exciting engagement partnered with a spirit of collaboration. This combination reflects Paula’s guiding belief that not only can anyone do math, but anyone can have fun doing math!

 

Before Mathitude, Paula worked as a risk manager at both Wells Fargo and Bank of Hawaii and also at RAND as an economic researcher.  While at RAND, Paula completed coursework and comprehensive exams in UCLA’s Ph.D. Economics program. She also has an M.A. in Applied Economics and received an undergraduate double major in Math and Economics. 

 

Now, Paula is known for her expertise in private math coaching, both individually and in groups, where she can help your student find their inner mathematician, strengthen their math wizardry, or explore their curiosity about the many wonderful roles math plays in our world. She has also published a suite of signature math engagement workbooks for elementary and middle-grade students. 

 

Paula enjoys working with all ages of students (from pre-K to college) and cherishes working closely with parents as they do the important work of raising tomorrow’s global citizens. Paula is a certified Mindfulness Mentor (course led by Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, Sharon Shelton, et al.) and brings the practices of compassion and mindfulness into all aspects of her professional practice.
