ASTEME (pronounced esteem) Learning Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, created to help our children discover the answer to a question that many teachers and parents hear every day - "When am I ever going to use math in my life?" From the child who is struggling with math in school to the one who is ready for more sophisticated challenges, ASTEME Learning Center provides a safe and inspiring place from which to explore the many roads in which math can lead us.
ASTEME Learning Center offers unique and dynamic math enrichment programs, such as afterschool/ Saturday programs, homeshool programs, camps during winter, spring, and summer breaks, and MORE! All of our programs are designed to enhance your children's learning and appreciation of math.
Using project based learning and our own city as inspiration, we help children find math in both the ordinary and the extraordinary; from the architecture that surrounds us to the technology that is so integral to our daily lives. Together we become math explorers, using a wide variety of subjects as our palette: music, art, science, computers, nature; what we find is that math is everywhere, affecting all of us.
Our goal is to inspire children to live, love and learn math and to create life long problem solvers who will become our next generation of scientists, engineers, mathematicians, artists, architects and leaders.
We look forward to sharing in the excitement for math, learning, and discovery with your children.
Allan Yu / Head of the School
Allan started off his career as a STEM educator by studying Electrical Engineering at Cal Poly Pomona. Soon after, he realized he loved working with people and pursued his degree in psychology. During this time, he began working with kids as an instructor in Kung Fu which ignited his desire to teach. This propelled him into the field of special education, where he worked with kids who struggled with learning disabilities. He excelled in differentiating instruction in math and became an education specialist and director for the UCLA Math Project, where he began to work for Megan Franke as a Cognitively Guided Instruction trainer. Since then, Allan has helped multiple schools develop a projects based math curriculum and also worked as the math discipline coordinator for Wildwood Elementary School. Allan Yu and teachers from ASTEME were recently featured on a Univision documentary. "If a student does not understand what is being taught, it is not the responsibility of the student to change how they learn; it is the responsibility of the teacher to change how they teach." - Allan Yu
