I teach mathematics classes geared for students in grades 6-12 with a particular focus Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2.

After earning a B.A. in Mathematics and M.A.T. (Master's in the Art of Teaching) from James Madison University, I taught Pre-Algebra and Algebra I in the public school system of Virginia.  I left the classroom in 2015 to stay home with my two young children.  I still hold a current teaching license in the state of Virginia and have a true love for teaching math.

Math is often seen as intimidating to students and I strive to take that stigma away.  My classes will be straightforward math lessons which will have the students learning through the "I do, we do, you do" approach.  I will show several examples of a concept then have the students help me with several problems before trying problems on their own.  It is my hope to make math both easier and more interesting by tying in real-world applications when possible.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, cross stitching, and crochet.
