Candy Apple Class Aids

With 17 years of teaching experience in mathematics and 5 years in alternative education, I have developed a versatile skill set tailored to diverse learning needs. I have taught middle and high school math, and I have extensive tutoring experience across a wide range of subjects, including elementary math, college statistics, reading, middle school science, and social studies. Additionally, I have successfully supported adults preparing for entrance exams at our local shipyard, demonstrating my commitment to helping students of all ages achieve their educational goals.

My teaching style is rooted in technology integration, collaborative projects, and hands-on learning. I believe that incorporating technology enhances engagement and provides diverse learning opportunities. I prioritize collaborative activities that encourage students to work together, fostering a sense of community and teamwork. I also utilize hands-on learning experiences to make abstract concepts more tangible and relatable. Additionally, I am a strong advocate for guided notes, which help students stay organized and focused during lessons. This approach not only supports comprehension but also empowers students to take ownership of their learning. By blending these strategies, I strive to create a dynamic and inclusive classroom environment that caters to various learning styles and promotes critical thinking.
