About the store
MathMuser is built on my belief that math is fun and every child can be good at math. Building a good relationship with math early on helps students reduce math anxiety when advancing to algebra and geometry.
My products focus on basic math concepts and real life scenarios using word problems. I use animal themes to make math practice fun and engaging. The emphasis is on easy understanding using visuals and not on complex calculations.
I have a passion for helping elementary students learn math and coding skills. While I started my career as an engineer writing complex software, I have pursued my interest in education for the last several years. In addition to teaching math, I have conducted reading programs to build fluency in reading by third grade. I volunteered as a mentor at my local school district, being recognized as Mentor of the Year for two years in a row.
