Yet, so many students struggle with ratios, leaving them frustrated when they show up in math tests or real life.

In this class, learners become ratio mastersโ€”breaking down tricky concepts into simple, clear steps. With real-world examples, and step-by-step explanations, theyโ€™ll gain the skills to confidently write, compare, and apply ratios. No more confusion, just math clarity and confidence!

Without this class, ratios may feel like a mystery, leading to frustration and struggle in future math topics like proportions, percentages, and scaling. But with the right foundation, learners take charge of their math journey and unlock the power of ratios in everyday life. 

This course isnโ€™t just about learning ratiosโ€”itโ€™s about building math confidence and making numbers make sense in real life!

I have been teaching in the High School levels since 2007.

I have earned a Masterโ€™s Degree in Education and Leadership from Portland State University. I have also been trained in many different curriculums and strategies, including Positive Behavior Intervention and Support, AVID, Trauma Informed Instruction, and many more.  

I believe that every student has the ability to grow as a learner and I always try to provide a safe and supportive learning environment.  My mission as a teacher has always been to take big, intimidating tasks and break them down into simple concepts that make them more accessible to all kinds of learners.  I also provide a non-judgemental space to ask questions and receive thoughtful and constructive feedback in order to improve students' performance on academic tasks and build confidence.      

When not in the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  The main goals in my life now are to be a supportive husband, father, and teacher.  I love listening to and playing music, traveling, camping, and creative writing in my spare time.
I look forward to working with you and your students!
