About the store
I started out teaching elementary school - 5th grade, then down to 4th and then down to 2nd grade. I taught math every year, but then also taught a mixture of other subjects depending on the year.
After 4 years, I made the move to junior high where I taught 7th grade math on-level and advanced. I also taught 6th grade math lab as an extra math class to help support struggling math students. After 5 years, I moved to 8th grade to teach both on-level 8th grade math and Algebra.

Experience
I started out teaching elementary school - 5th grade, then down to 4th and then down to 2nd grade. I taught math every year, but then also taught a mixture of other subjects depending on the year.
After 4 years, I made the move to junior high where I taught 7th grade math on-level and advanced. I also taught 6th grade math lab as an extra math class to help support struggling math students. After 5 years, I moved to 8th grade to teach both on-level 8th grade math and Algebra.
Teaching style
I believe that every child can learn math. It is important to make math approachable by encouraging students to ask questions and not get discouraged when making mistakes.
My own education history
I was born in England and started Preschool there. I attended Reception and Year 1 in Dubai (Preschool and Kindergarten). After moving to New Orleans, I completed 1st and 2nd grade. Then I moved to Texas and completed the rest of elementary, junior high and high school. I attended Texas A&M and graduated with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (Elementary Ed)
