MathAunty

I'm currently teaching and tutoring math online. I have been teaching and tutoring since 2012. I have a tutoring business called Math Aunty where I offer virtual one on one tutoring.

My teaching style is relaxed and informal. I focus more on creating a comfortable learning environment and connecting with student interests to create a positive math experience. I try to bring in Black and African American history and culture when possible. Most of my activities shared here align with my goal to get more culturally based math activities in the hands of educators everywhere.

I firmly stand behind my belief that every person has the potential to be a mathematician. I am spreading this message to students and parents through teaching and tutoring while spreading this message to fellow math educators through enriching professional development. A math tutor provides knowledge for a moment, but a math aunty provides knowledge for a lifetime. I take care to highlight the problem-solving strategies we are using and how they can be applied to things that interest the student. I also love sharing life lessons through storytelling and garnered the affectionate name of “Aunty Miss D” in the classroom for my skills in mediation, bringing music to the classroom, being corny, and creating a family atmosphere.
