Experience Summary
I have four years of high school mathematics teaching experience, where I have taught 9th-grade Algebra 1, 10th-grade Geometry, and 11th-grade Algebra 2 and Trigonometry. I have student-teaching experience with 11th-grade Precalculus and 12th-grade College Algebra. This past year, I have been focusing on the importance of organization in all aspects of teaching—lesson planning, instruction strategies, classroom management, and assessment. After building this organized foundation, I have developed personal rapport by helping students individually, planning with students in mind, and using creativity and humor.
Teaching Style
I love teaching because I find the process of learning to be joy filled and miraculous. In particular, I find tutoring rewarding because I am able personally to guide the learner through discovery that expands his or her horizons. My goal is to inspire students to consider a career that uses mathematics. To sum up my style, I believe the act of learning is a journey of discovery and my role is a guide along the way, seeking to make the journey most meaningful to the individual's interests and learning styles.
