Deveney Math Tutoring
About
I am a Middle School Math Teacher in Brooklyn, New York. I am excited to be assisting students to strive in math in order to succeed in school. I have been working in the Department of Education in New York City for 8 years and have worked in after school programs as well. I take great pleasure helping students understand important topics in middle school math and preparing for exams. I believe your child will improve with the help of my strong educational background in math.
As a math teacher, I work hard to help struggling students in the classroom. I love being able to help students who don't enjoy math and turning it into a subject that they grow to love.
I have also provided homework help through an after school program where students ask for assistance on difficult math topics. With my skills I am able to make the content relatable to students by incorporating students' interests and motivators. I have been doing this for the last 4 years and the students I work with have seen an increase in their test scores.
