Experience

For the past 2 years, I've been working as a high school mathematics teacher. I have also been a middle/high school math tutor (including ACT) for over 5 years. I am passionate about helping students understand, and even enjoy, the world of mathematics. I am very patient, and it is always my goal to help students learn to think logically and problem solve, rather than to simply get the answer. With 5+ years of experience and extensive training, I have learned how to explain concepts in different ways, and how to identify and address students' weak areas, giving them the foundation they need to be successful in math. EXPERIENCE/QUALIFICATIONS: As a high school student, I took math courses through Calculus BC, earning A's in each course. I received 5's on both the Calculus AB and BC exams. I scored 31 on the ACT. Throughout my undergrad, I continued my studies in Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, etc. (3.7 GPA). In graduate school, I took more advanced math courses, as well as math education courses (4.0 GPA). I took several courses specifically designed for math teachers in which we studied middle/high school math topics in extreme depth. I was also part of a prestigious graduate school program called 'Math for America', where I was trained and mentored by experienced/accomplished teachers and professors. Alongside my education, I tutored constantly in various settings (public middle school, public high school, private tutoring). I then continued my career through teaching in public high school for 2 years. I am now continuing to pursue my tutoring career, as that is the teaching setting that I most enjoy!
