I am in my 8th year of teaching. I spent 5 years at an all-girls private school in California, and now am in my 3rd year at a private school in Washington. I have taught Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2/Trig, Honors Algebra 2, Honors Geometry, and am now taking on Precalculus and Honors Precalculus. It is the best feeling when a student who has never really liked math starts to get it and enjoy themselves in my class. Last year of working from home/hybrid due to Covid-19, I focused on connecting with my students personally and in silly ways rather than always focusing on the math content. I just want to have fun in the classes I teach and keep things positive! This year, as we are in person, I recognize that my students have had a very tough few years and their learning has been impacted. I still love to give them digital products even though we are in person because it helps keep them engaged and they love my pixel art puzzles!
