Allan Chong

 

Allan studied engineering at MIT.  He had many math and science team events in grade school including as a competitor at the National Mathcounts and National ARML and 1st place team and a 1st individual award at the National Science Olympiad.  Allan completed Calculus BC in 8th grade, a feat that was rewarded with a letter telling him that he would not graduate high school (no high school math classes = no diploma; a little newspaper article resolved the whole issue). Despite his aversion to standardized testing, he got 5 perfect scores on the math or verbal section of the PSAT/SAT/Achievement tests.

 

His professional career has involved management, engineering, computer and networking jobs.

 

He is currently coaching the Tierra Linda math team. Teaching his daughters math has been his latest challenge. They lack math phobias but have spider phobias instead. His kindergartener says he's pretty stupid.

INSTRUCTORS

Louise

 

Louise was a peer tutor for her classmates in math and an active member of the math team back in high school. One of her proudest moment as a kid was bringing her friend's grade from a C to an A in one quarter. As she worked toward her degrees in Electrical Engineering, she paid her way through college by working as a teaching assistant for math and electrical engineering courses. She has worked as a systems engineer, a data scientist, and a research engineer. After volunteering to help Allan couple mornings last summer she liked what she saw. She decided to join Allan to challenge kids in a fun and supportive environment.

Danyel

 

Danyel studied computer science at the University of Toronto, and followed that up with an MBA from Georgia Tech.  Danyel's professional career has been performing management functions, analysis and programming for companies such as Goldman Sachs, Google and Stanford University.  Danyel has been teaching his children to program and use their knowledge to implement various computer based card games.

 

Nick

 

Nick, with the support of both Allan and Danyel is leading our elementary students. Nick is a student at the College of San Mateo and has a great math and computer background and relates very well with the younger children.
