About

I am a certified high school mathematics teacher who has taught everything from Pre-Algebra to Pre-Calculus in Maryland. Currently, I am a Mathematics Numeracy Coach for my school district where I have helped grow teachers and students from 14% proficiency on Algebra 1 PARCC to over 53% proficiency in less than one school year. While teaching, more than 60% of my students scored a 4 or 5 on the Algebra 2 PARCC. I was able to make these gains because I consistently sought the challenge of teaching and inspiring lower-achieving students and turning them into critical, higher-order thinking lifelong learners.

I have been teaching for almost 20 years and tutoring for more than 25 years and I spend much of my daily life trying to find the simplest ways to teach difficult mathematical concepts. I have an outstanding command of middle and high school mathematics specifically in developing and implementing curriculum enhancements with a simplified Common Core focus.

Things you can expect from me: subject expertise, patience reliability, tips and tricks for remembering content, study habit ideas, adaptation to your learning style, respect, positive energy, time management skills- your time is money and I respect that.

I have a way of helping make complex subject material kid-friendly and use discovery approaches to learning material. Students internalize and understand the material better when they discover the mathematics on their own rather than you telling them. I also specialize in test-taking strategies and helping get over math anxiety.

Since I'm not in a traditional classroom every day anymore, I enjoy tutoring students because it's nothing like seeing the lightbulb go off when they finally understand a concept they've been struggling with.

    Monique was extremely helpful. My child did not enjoy math and was easily frustrated. However, Monique was patient and found simple ways to explain the material while still ensuring that my son had an in-depth understanding. Since Monique was my sons tutor, hes maintained As and Bs for the last 3 years.

    Frequently asked questions

    I prefer to give a short pre-assessment to determine the needs of the student. From there I am able to quickly assess what is needed and give the parents or the student debriefing of how we will continue with tutoring.
