Experience

We also have experience teaching science at the elementary & middle school level as well as high school biology and entry-level engineering courses at the university level.
Teaching style
At Black Hole Notes we truly believe that any student can do math and be inspired to learn more science. We very much enjoy using foldables and hands-on activities in order to engage students and help them to really retain the knowledge.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Worlds Best Mom and Best Daughter awards are given/received annually.
My own education history
Our mother-daughter duo sport multiple degrees in education as well as engineering (including masters degrees in teaching STEM as well as a masters degree in engineering). We very much believe in lifelong learning both in a classical setting as well as learning from industry experience.
Additional biographical information
After so many years teaching and working in a particularly challenging political environment, it became clear to us that the curriculum we were developing for our classrooms could benefit SO many other teachers across America (and dare we say, the world?!).
