I offer classes and tutoring in elementary math, middle school math, pre-algebra, algebra 1/2, geometry, pre-calculus, trigonometry, calculus AB, and SAT/ACT prep. I am very passionate about teaching and believe anyone can learn math! I love being able to break down a complex idea in a way that is accessible to all learners. I believe being a teacher is becoming a master of such a thing. I am extremely patient and love to use my creativity to explain and create a math experience that will make someone go "aha!". I think math is usually seen as being overly complicated or requiring extensive memorization to become proficient in it, but I believe anyone is capable of learning math and there are so many ways to think about math, to begin with. I try to incorporate all of these ideas and more into my teaching.
I graduated from Purdue University with a BS in Mathematics Education. I am a certified math teacher with extensive experience in teaching all math levels and teaching students from a variety of different backgrounds. I excel in helping students with gaps in their math learning as I am able to quickly pinpoint what areas a student needs to go back and learn when they do not understand a specific topic. My methodologies are student-centered and I believe in having the student do as much of the mathematical thinking as possible while I guide them with questions and differentiated instruction when they are stuck.
I am patient, love teaching, and am well-versed in all mathematics up to Calculus! I believe all students are capable of doing math, even when they themselves do not think so. With the right guidance and enough time anyone can become a master of the numbers.
