Mathnasium Learning Centers (mathnasium.com), an internationally known franchise with over 1,100 math-tutoring centers worldwide, is thrilled to announce its first location in Lincoln, Nebraska. The new center, located at 2901 Pine Lake Road, Suite E, is on track to open later this fall, and will be owned and operated by NFL veteran Brett Maher and his wife Jenna, who has a strong background in education.

Brett Maher, a five-year NFL kicker for the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams, transitions from the gridiron to the classroom with this new venture. The couple, originally from Kearney, Nebraska, has deep roots in education. Jenna is a former elementary school teacher who actively participates in her children’s PTA and serves as the communications coordinator for the local elementary school. Brett’s father is the Commissioner of Education for Nebraska, and his sister also works in the education field.

“Opening this Mathnasium center in Lincoln is a thrilling new chapter for us. As someone who’s experienced the dedication and discipline required in professional sports, I understand how important a solid foundation is for success, said Brett Maher. “I’m excited to bring that same level of commitment to helping local kids excel in math to prepare them for their future education and professional careers. It’s a fantastic way for Jenna and I to give back to our community and support the future stars of Lincoln.”
