Experience
I have been teaching/coaching in elementary school for 18 years. I absolutely love all things math and students being engaged in solving mathematical problems. I work daily with students to build deep, lasting understanding - not just procedural skills.
Teaching style
My teaching style is rooted in conceptual understanding, student thinking, and structured problem-solving. I believe students learn math best when they:
- make sense of problems before solving them
- use visual models and representations
- engage in mathematical discussion and reasoning
- connect ideas rather than memorize rules
My own education history
I hold a PhD in Curriculum, Instruction, and the Science of Teaching, with a focus on mathematics curriculum. I focused on how students develop mathematical understanding and how instruction can better support that development.
