About the Teachers
Alexis Hibbler, S.B, Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Alexis joined Acera in the fall of 2022 as a physics specialist teacher. She has made an incredible impression on our students, introducing new electives like Astrobiology and Balloon Kinematics and challenging kids to consider the energy and physics behind flying pumpkins!
Viktor Grigoryan, Ph.D., University of Massachusetts at Amherst
Being a problem-solver and tinkerer at heart, there is nothing more joyful to Viktor in his career as a math educator than collaborating with students to troubleshoot and resolve their educational entanglements and discovering new and exciting learning adventures for everyone. He believes that math education should not only be greatly useful and deeply purposeful, but also profoundly enriching for the students.
