Meet MathSP’s Founder, Stephanie Espy

For Stephanie Espy, learning and teaching are in her DNA.  Stephanie’s passion for helping others to excel in Math & Science subjects and on college entrance exams shines in her personality.  Her ultimate goal is to enable and inspire the highest levels of performance among the students she serves. 

Born and raised in Decatur, Georgia, Stephanie was highly influenced by her parents who are both engineers – her mother, a chemical engineer educated at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and Georgia Tech and her father, an electrical engineer educated at Georgia Tech and Stanford University. Throughout high school, Stephanie earned the highest accolades for her achievements in her coursework and even tutored her classmates and peers. She graduated with a 4.2/4.0 GPA and furthered her studies in Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

While an undergraduate student at MIT, Stephanie created a tutorial program for high school students studying for the SAT. She soon expanded her tutorial services to middle school students who needed additional help with basic Math skills. Her passion for learning and teaching led her to continue her studies while simultaneously helping students achieve their educational goals.

Upon graduating from MIT, Stephanie was awarded a fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley to pursue a Master’s Degree in Chemical Engineering. While at Berkeley, she conducted laboratory research that led to her authoring two noted scientific publications in Archives of biochemistry and biophysics and Phytochemistry. Throughout her graduate studies, Stephanie also tutored students in multiple Math subjects and taught courses for a national tutoring and test preparation company.

Stephanie worked for several Fortune 500 corporations in both the United States and Europe and has travelled extensively for personal and philanthropic reasons to Brazil, Argentina, Greece, Thailand, Vietnam, South Africa, Spain, Australia, India, and more.  Stephanie earned a fellowship to attend the Goizueta Business School at Emory University.  It was after earning her Master’s Degree in Business Administration that she set forth to start Math Strategies and Problem-solving or MathSP. Years of experience as a tutor, educator, and highly-skilled problem-solver, coupled with an understanding of business and deep analytical competency provided for a seamless transition into entrepreneurship.  Stephanie believes this is work she has been called to do.

Not everyone is able to understand and explain the many and varied concepts and testing strategies necessary to excel on standardized exams and in Math subjects – and do so with compassion and fervor!  Stephanie can… and DOES!
