Other Details
Parental Guidance
This class is designed to be a safe and supportive environment for all learners. There is no sensitive or upsetting content involved.
If students use a calculator or an online tool during class, they may need parental assistance to ensure they have access to these resources before the session begins.
Additionally, I may use approved third-party tools like [Zoom whiteboard/Desmos/Google Jamboard] (no account required for students) to enhance engagement and learning during the lesson.
Parental supervision is not required during the class, but encouraging your child to complete any optional practice problems after the session can be beneficial for reinforcing concepts.

I’m a state-certified and licensed Math teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching K-12 students in both traditional classrooms and online settings. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and have dedicated my career to helping students not only understand math but build the confidence and resilience they need to thrive.
My teaching philosophy blends academic rigor with a strong focus on personal development, making math relatable and engaging for every learner. I believe that math, much like life, is about consistency, focus, and learning from mistakes. That’s why I created the Middle School Math Workout—a space where students can strengthen their math skills and their mindset.
I specialize in making challenging concepts like fractions, algebra, and problem-solving approachable through clear instruction, real-world connections, and a supportive learning environment. Whether a student is struggling or ready to level up, I help them push past mental blocks, build momentum, and take ownership of their learning.
My goal is simple: empower students to become confident, capable problem-solvers who aren’t afraid to take on challenges—inside and outside the classroom.
I've successfully worked with students of all abilities, from those needing extra support to advanced learners seeking enrichment.
I incorporate growth mindset strategies to encourage students to embrace challenges and develop a lifelong love of learning.
My approach blends traditional math instruction with creative, real-world problem-solving to make math meaningful and memorable.Reviews
