Experience

I created a tutoring company catering to 6th grade and up in 2004 and still have clients to this day. I taught in private school for 2 years and have been in the public sector since 2017!

Teaching style

Completely crazy, no lie. While I am a firm believer in many traditional teaching practices, I also like to be silly and have fun with my kids. We have a lot of competitions throughout each unit and I take every possible opportunity to make my class enjoyable.

Awards & shining teacher moments

My own education history

Certified 4-8 math and 7-12 Math; BS in History focused on the Holocaust with a minor in Mathematics.

Additional biographical information

I have templates for EVERYTHING, but don't always have time to upload or even remember to upload. I am beyond happy to help any teacher looking for resources. If I don't have something posted, feel free to reach out and ask if I have it (if I don't, I can usually make it to your specifications pretty easily).
