I want each student to feel confident in their ability to succeed in math class!  

GOALS
      Students will master the most key foundational math skills for middle school.
      Students will feel more confident and more successful in math class.
      Students will develop a growth mindset and strategies to make them a more effective and efficient learner.

My first goal is for students to have a positive relationship with math.  Hopefully, I can build up their confidence and lower any stress around the subject.  I try to normalize mistakes and create a low pressure, supportive and fun class environment. 

I'm a Credentialed Middle and High School Math Teacher with 12 years teaching experience in grades 6 through 10 and a Master’s in Teaching.  

I started my career teaching middle school math and then moved up to high school.  I love teaching middle school after having taught high school because I have a very clear idea of where they are headed and exactly what they need to succeed in their first years of high school math.
