Experience
I have been a middle school mathematics teacher for over 12 years. During that time I have developed many innovative and original assessment tools. Some of these tools are designed to be in-class activities, whereas others were created to be completed over a series of time.
Teaching style
I believe in using technology and authentic examples when teaching mathematical concepts. I also find ways to incorporate multimedia and comedy to help explain topics and make math more fun. My students tend to like my pop-culture references and metaphors. I think you will too.
My own education history
I have an undergraduate degree in communications from the University of Maryland. After working in radio for a year, I decided to go back for my teaching certification at Ramapo College of New Jersey. After working for as a teacher, I earned a master's degree in school administration and supervision from New Jersey City University.
Additional biographical information
I currently reside in Northern New Jersey minutes away from NYC. I am an avid sports fan and always find ways to reference sports and its connection to mathematics to my students. I enjoy spending my time with my wife, twin daughters, and our goldendoodle.
