About the store
Hey everyone! I’m Jamie and I am a high school math and physics teacher in Ontario, Canada with 5 years of teaching experience. I have also tutored many students at the elementary and secondary levels and have taught math enrichment classes.
Throughout my time working with students, I have learned what methods work for them, the common mistakes and gaps in learning, and what aspects of each unit are the most challenging. My goal is always to make math less of a hurdle for students, to help them reach their full potential in math, and appreciate this beautiful subject.
