Former Math Teacher With M.Ed
About
Whether I'm working with pre-algebra or AP Calculus students, the key is in the questions I ask. It's important for me to put the heavy lifting on you, but I also create an environment where it's okay to be unsure or feel stuck. I know what questions to ask, I know when to rephrase or use another method, and I know how to give the right amount of challenge to advance you forward.
While I'm no longer full-time in the classroom, I still enjoy working with students to help them feel successful. Math is a common non-favorite, and it's my job to show students that they can be successful if they buckle down and push their brain.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to know about their experiences with school in general. I ask what are some things that previous teachers have done that they felt were helpful, but also things that were not helpful. The more that I can get them to talk, the more I can distract them from thinking about how much they don't like math.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Master of Education (M.Ed) in Instructional Practice. I taught for 6 years in Nashville, TN (always math, middle and high, public and charter), and I was also a math coach overseeing the math teachers in my school.
