I use real-world application, scaffolding, and modeling to help students achieve their learning goals. I have a concentration in mathematics. I am passionate about educating others. I have been teaching for 5 years. I also have my Master's in Elementary Education. I decided to become a teacher so I can help educate society future leaders. I am part of the solution, not part of the problem, in my community.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would tell them to get ready to challenge themselves. They will be able to track their growth from the start of our sessions to the end of each session. I will not give up on them and I will advocate for them, when they cannot.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Are you ready to believe you can do it? What frustrates you? How much time and effort are you putting into learning? Are you ready to challenge yourself?
