Kim has both her B.A. and her Ph.D. in mathematics. She started teaching elementary and middle school math in 2012. In all her math teaching, she emphasizes the breadth, beauty, creativity, and logic revealed by mathematical concepts.
She currently teaches for The Lukeion Project and Deerstream Learning Center, as well as homeschooling her own children. Kim also runs the Triangle Math Teachers' Circle, an organization to help teachers continue to fall in love with math.
Travis has taught as a visiting assistant professor of mathematics at Guilford College in Greensboro since 2021, where he teaches all levels of undergraduate mathematics. He co-developed and co-ran an after-school mathematics enrichment program at an elementary school in Seattle. In his teaching of all ages and grades, Travis emphasizes the creativity of mathematical thinking as well as the connections to themes that recur in different parts of mathematics. He earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Washington, and his research interests include differential geometry, especially symmetries and the relationships between different types of geometry.
Andrew has taught mathematics at the Durham Academy Upper School since 2018, where he enjoys the freedom to offer "kooky electives" on the more esoteric mathematics he grew to love during his own math education. After dropping out of high school and working a factory job for a few years, he enrolled in a local community college and began what ended up as a ten-year love affair with mathematics. In that time he went from a mathematical layman to successfully defending a Ph.D. in pure mathematics from UNC Chapel Hill. Having had the opportunity to interact with the beautiful mathematics that are traditionally hidden away in the ivory tower, he is passionate about bringing that sort of math to mainstream audiences. At Durham Academy he specializes in teaching "high-level mathematics" at the high school level, and so far has taught classes in Logic, Discrete Mathematics, Topology, and Number Theory, all of which he teaches only requiring a basic algebra course as prerequisite.
