Ben Houk Jennifer Speer Larry Martinek Natalie Clark Boon Stoeckel Ryan Collins

Ben Houk

Center Director

Ben is an Iowa native with many years of experience operating educational and family entertainment centers. He has a passion for creating meaningful experiences for families, whether through learning or fun. Outside of work, Ben enjoys visiting Universal and Disney theme parks and going on adventures with his wife and their dog, Mimi.

Favorite Number:
5 — because 4 is too little and 6 is too many.

Favorite Math Joke:
Frank has a pizza with 8 slices. If Frank eats 4 slices, how many slices does Steve get? None — because Frank is selfish and ate all of those slices too.

5 Years From Now:
Living in Orlando.

Why Mathnasium:
Ben loves being part of something that truly changes lives. Helping students gain confidence in math and unlock possibilities they never thought were possible is what makes him proud to work at Mathnasium.

Jennifer Speer

Owner

Jennifer has a unique perspective that allows her to understand your kids and help them.

She is a successful business owner and homeschooling mom of 3! She has the perspective of an educator as well as a busy parent and knows the challenges of both. Jennifer knows how to engage the kids and hold their interest. She keeps them progressing in math in a way they will actually enjoy!

Jennifer has always had a strong grip on Mathematics, earning her B.B.A in Finance at Southwest Texas State University and then owning and operating successful businesses alongside her husband James.

After discovering Mathnasium and seeing what it can offer kids, they made a tough decision to sell their previous business and start all over again. As scary as that sounds, they knew that parents wanted the best education options available for their children. Now she and James have expanded to multiple locations and have thousands of amazing success stories as a result of the passionate instructors, inspiring learning environment, unique teaching style, and world-class curriculum at Mathnasium!

Favorite Math Joke: There are 3 kinds of people in this world... Those who can count, and those who can't.

Fun Fact: Graduated college in 3 1/2 years with a 4.0!

I love Mathnasium because: I get to be a part of a great organization that changes kids' lives! Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?!?

Larry Martinek

Creator of the Mathnasium Method

Larry has spent his entire career finding a better way to teach math. From inner city public schools, to acclaimed magnet schools, to leading private and parochial schools, Larry has served as both a classroom teacher and as an educational consultant. He has designed curriculum, teaching strategies, and teaching materials to help students and teachers learn math more effectively. He has trained teachers in the art and science of boosting students' ability to “do” math, thereby increasing students' math scores and feeling of self-worth. Larry is the developer of Mathnasium’s educational program – one of the most comprehensive and innovative curricula ever produced for teaching math. While Larry is not an Instructor at our Center, he is a valuable asset we can call on to ask about specific students' scenarios for guidance and advice. This has helped to make visits more productive and enjoyable for many of our students.

Natalie Clark

Instructor

Natalie is a passionate math educator who brings both heart and logic to every session. Originally from St. Louis, she moved to Iowa to pursue her love for mathematics, a journey sparked by her first geometry proof and the process-driven beauty of logical reasoning. Her enthusiasm for math is matched only by her love of teaching children, a calling she’s followed since middle school through her involvement with youth programs like Mariner Girl Scouts. At Mathnasium, Natalie uses her thoughtful, step-by-step approach to help students understand not just the “how,” but the “why” behind every concept. Her goal is to build strong foundations and inspire confidence, while connecting math to real-life experiences in ways that resonate with each learner.

Favorite number: My favorite number is 57.

Favorite math joke: My favorite math joke, "Purity", is attached and can be found at https://xkcd.com/435/.

In five years, I will be: I plan to be a mother, working in something related to math, and continuing to volunteer as the Waterfront Director for Mariner Girl Scouts.

I love Mathnasium because: It combines my loves of math and working with children. I especially appreciate the Mathnasium Method "making math make sense".

Boon Stoeckel

Instructor

Boon first came to Mathnasium as a student, and now he’s come full circle — helping others succeed just as he did. A current student at Centennial High School with plans to attend the University of Northern Iowa, Boon brings a unique perspective to the team. His patient, supportive teaching style focuses on helping students not only master their current material but also build a strong foundation for future math success. Boon knows firsthand how empowering the right instruction can be, and he’s committed to paying that forward with every student he works with.

Favorite number: 35 - It was my original number when I played hockey in Woodland Park, CO

Favorite math joke: What did the triangle say to the circle? You’re pointless.

In five years, I will be: Graduating UNI with a business economics degree and a minor in management information systems.

I love Mathnasium because: It can boost kids knowledge of the math they are working on or help them through problems they don’t quite understand or know how to solve. It can also help then keep their math knowledge if they attend during the summer.

Meet Our Team

Ryan Collins

Instructor

Ryan is a senior at Ankeny Centennial High School who enjoys exploring how math and science connect to the world around him. He’s always been curious about how things work and loves sharing that curiosity with others. His easygoing nature and problem-solving mindset make him someone students enjoy learning from. Outside of school, he plays baseball and plans to study chemical engineering at Iowa State University.

Favorite Number: 4 — it’s the number he always wore growing up playing sports.
Favorite Math Joke: Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 ate 9.
In 5 Years: Starting a career in chemical engineering.
Why Mathnasium? He loves making a real difference by helping students grow from frustrated to confident.
