Teacher expertise and credentials

I have been a math substitute teacher for 9+ years. Teaching all math subjects from grades K-12, I have gained the skills to work with diverse students. I have worked on creating effective teaching curriculums/lessons for students and also aiding students with gaps in their math skills so they can catch up to the current lessons. Although math can be challenging at times, I have attempted to teach it in a way that students can look at math with a positive approach and understand all while having fun!
