Experience Summary
I am a certified teacher with a Master’s Degree in Mathematics Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Texas Arlington and a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Northwestern Oklahoma State University. I have several years of teaching experience including 3 years of high school mathematics, 2 years of middle school mathematics, and 2 years of first grade. I also spent one year as a teacher’s assistant in fourth and first grade classrooms and completed my student teaching in a third grade classroom. For the past three years, I have been a full time mom to my beautiful daughter and a part-time math tutor and substitute teacher. My tutoring experience began my senior year of high school, and I have continued to tutor throughout college and my professional teaching career. I enjoy tutoring because of the one-on-one interaction you have with the students. It is wonderful to really get to know someone and help them achieve their mathematical goals!
Teaching Style
I customize each tutoring session with the specific needs of the student in mind. Hands-on activities, interactive online games, and traditional pencil/paper practice are just a few of the methods I use. Let me know how you learn best, and I will create a session to match!
My Hobbies
I enjoy running, biking, reading, baking, and spending time with family.
Other Comments
I know that choosing a tutor can be a difficult decision. I want all of my students to be completely comfortable with their choice. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions that will aid in your decision making process. I thank you for your consideration.
