Experience

I've had the privilege of teaching math to middle and high school students, from 6th grade through Calculus. My passion lies in creating a classroom where students can experience the genuine math joy that comes from discovery and discussion. I strive to design materials that foster those brilliant "ah-ha" moments, making learning an engaging and memorable journey for every student.

Teaching style

I am equally interested in inquiry-based learning and gaming theory, which is reflected in my classroom materials featuring real world questions and lots of collaboration and games. I believe the secret to success in math is a balanced approach that ensures every student has an opportunity to access the curriculum.
