"Mathematics has always been a passion of mine. Through my advanced math classes from 6th - 8th grade in Lansdale, PA, my teacher directed, nurtured and further developed my depth of understanding, respect for, and love of math and teaching.
While attending a parochial school in Lansdale, I completed all honors and AP math classes, which allowed me to tutor peers and serve with the NHS. At Rider University, I began tutoring at the math annex as a freshman. I earned BAs in mathematics and secondary education, taught in Montgomery Twp. and settled at Nottingham HS in Hamilton, NJ. Since then, I’ve accumulated thousands of tutoring hours and became a professional math tutor with Wyzant in 2014.
I provide the best possible support for each and every student I meet. I currently teach Honors Geometry, Precalculus, and AP Statistics, but have taught most math classes up to AP Calculus AB. For each family I work with, I discuss goals and expectations of parents and students. I assess student problem-solving to identify areas of difficulty. I teach/reteach topics, clarify areas of uncertainty, assist with hw, and help with projects/presentations. I enable students to use multiple methods to represent a variety of problems. I always nurture out-of-the-box thinking and a deeper understanding. I connect the succession of math classes from year to year, such as how Algebra and Geometry lend themselves to Precalc and Calc. Students appreciate knowing why they are learning what they are, and why the methods their teachers use are so important. In addition, students do not have to wait an entire week getting questions answered. I provide my email so they can send concerns and questions they have from class or homework.
The information I provided above is why I am confident in the services I provide, and why my services are so valued by those I provide them to. You will feel the same after scheduling with me." less...
