About Me:

My love for teaching mathematics continues to grow. After my first exposure to teaching, I realized that teaching requires concentration, enthusiasm, and energy, both before and during a class. Preparation and practice are essential. A major focus of my life since then has been developing my teaching skills and studying the multifaceted strategies to foster a love for mathematics in my students. One of the first challenges of teaching I encountered is that students understand and approach mathematics differently. It is thus essential for an effective teacher to recognize and identify a student's confusion. I often explain concepts in multiple ways to assist the students in their learning. I discovered a variety of ways to encourage students to present ideas in a clear and logical manner. I allow students to understand the importance of a concept in relation to mathematics and to life. I am committed to continuing education, especially with regard to technology in the classroom. I treasure the opportunity to encourage students to achieve beyond what they thought possible. Teaching is my calling, mathematics is my passion, and the students are my reason.
