TAMMY AND MARC GOLDBERG are underground math education innovators who have figured out how to get math right! Their work can be experienced at Mathnasium Learning Centers worldwide. It is their mission to empower children to excel in math and grow into confident young adults who are able to think logically and solve complex problems.

Tammy’s origins in the math classroom and the private tutoring space merged with Marc’s accounting and business background in 2008 when they opened their first of several Mathnasium Learning Centers in NYC. But, perhaps, the more interesting part of the story was the emerging creative collaboration with Mathnasium co-founder, Larry Martinek, that gave them the perfect think tank and platform to write a revolutionary math curriculum that has empowered millions of students to develop true understanding and self confidence in their math abilities.

In addition to writing the majority of Mathnasium’s curriculum, Tammy and Marc are the operators of 5 Mathnasium Learning Center locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and one in their current hometown of Doylestown, PA. As parents of school-aged children themselves, Tammy and Marc have seen the negative academic effects of the Covid pandemic firsthand. Having the experience of working with thousands of students in their centers and developing a curriculum that has parents raving around the country, they feel a personal responsibility to share their collective wisdom and bring awareness to parents as to what kids actually need to be successful in math compared to what most people think they need.

Outside of their work in math education… Marc is a dynamic rock singer and multi-instrumentalist, a professional problem-solver, and a youth baseball coach. Tammy is an astrologer, a wellness enthusiast, and an aspiring singer/songwriter. They have two kind-hearted, creative, math-loving kids, a Miniature Schnauzer, and a Russian Blue cat at their home in Pennsylvania.

NINA FARZIN is a Pharmacist who made a deal on Shark Tank and successfully became a patent holder. She embarked on her entrepreneurial journey driven by a personal necessity – the need for a tool that could ease her babies’ breathing at night. Astonished by the absence of such a solution, she took matters into her own hands and created the oogiebear original booger picker. This innovative tool not only proved effective and safe but also embodied the charm that Nina, as an apprehensive young mother, sought for her newborns.

In 2015, Nina set out on this venture with no foresight that her idea would evolve into a global aid for thousands of children and their parents. Discovering that many parents shared her quest for improved baby care solutions, she realized the widespread demand for better products. What began as a quest to enhance the baby nasal aspirator category turned into a pioneering effort, creating a new niche for booger and ear wax removal tools distinct from the decades-old aspirators dominating the market.

The oogiebear, with its revolutionary approach, became a symbol of Nina Farzin’s commitment to advancing baby care, with aspirations reaching far beyond the initial innovation.
