"I am a certified math teacher with a master's in education and a bachelor’s in mathematics. My background in math started with competitions in middle and high school, including a 1600 Math SAT and a 36 Math ACT. I pursued many upper-level maths such as probability, number theory, and differential equations in college getting a degree in the field.

My teaching and tutoring experiences range from 5 years in the high school classroom to tutoring student athletes at ETSU, the local college. I pride myself in being adept at meeting the student where they are and getting growth from them class over class. My teacher's level of effectiveness is a 4 in my tested subjects, Geometry and Algebra II. The ages of students I am used to are 13-18 but I am certified to teach down to 7th grade math if necessary.

My tutoring and teaching strategy mostly lies in the method of chunking. Chunking is breaking down material into the smallest possible parts and reassembling the larger skill after a student can perform the smaller skills. Depending on student level of performance, I can choose to chunk smaller or larger to expedite student success. This is just one strategy I chose to write about, but there are many others in my tool belt and I am sure I can find the right one for you." less...
