My love for education began ten years ago when I began working for a local learning center. I was shocked to discover how many students struggled with math and lacked confidence in their ability to solve difficult problems. I noticed a lot of the students who struggled were in the middle grades 4-8. Building skills in these grade is essential for understanding proportional reasoning and algebra readiness. In the past decade, I have managed a learning center, taught middle school math in public school districts, and tutored online. My mission is to break down challenging math concepts in a way that all students can understand and help them build a solid math foundation.
