About
I have been a teacher for 3 years and I have been a tutor for 5 years as well. I have finished the Masters program at the University of Louisville. Will be moving toward a PhD program and understand the needs all students and can help create a path for success.
I absolutely love the lightbulb moment in the students face when they have been working so hard to try and understand a concept, and finally get it. The pure joy someone has when they understand that math is for everyone and gain the confidence to push forward in their academic career.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to take the time to understand where each student is at the specific moment (pre-assessment) and figure out what is the best course of action.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have tutored through the Youth Action Project for 2 years, that was based in the highschool. Following this, I worked in the private schools teaching/tutoring middle and highschool mathematics. Then, I moved here to Louisville through Teach Kentucky and have completed the Masters of Teaching at the University Of Louisville, while teaching in JCPS. Now, I am about to move into the PhD program for Curriculum and Instruction at the University Of Louisville.

How did you get started teaching?
I began teaching because I noticed the positive impact that I had with students on a day to day basis working as a tutor and that love carried over to the teaching realm. I believe that every student has the ability to learn math at the highest level possible. I just want to be the positive light for a student in their academic career.

I have worked with many different types of students: Elementary, Middle, Highschool, English as Second Language, ADD/ADHD Students, Auditory Learners, Visual Learners, Hands On Learners, etc.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What specifically don't you understand about a topic?
What do you understand and what don't you understand?
What am I missing from the situation?
What is the best way for me to learn this?/What is the problem with the way I'm learning this right now?
