Class Experience

But when will I ever use this type of math in real life?

Welcome to my Real Life Math series, where students will practice math skills in practical real-life situations. Math is difficult to grasp for some students simply because it's an abstract idea. When students can see how math works in everyday life, math has a "point" and begins to make sense.

In this class, students will practice using percentages to tip for services.  We will begin class with a review of calculating percentages as well a brief discussion about tipping in US culture and when traveling abroad (why we tip, generally accepted amounts for tipping, services that usually expect tipping, etc.). Students will then use these skills in several word problems to determine and calculate appropriate tipping in various scenarios. Students will be most confident in this class if they have an understanding of percentages.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of Alabama at Birmingham
I'm an accountant with a teaching background who enjoys learning and strives to foster a love of learning in students through games and interactive learning. I believe students learn best when they are having fun and interacting with the material. 

I have always had a passion for learning and have diverse interests. I'm especially passionate about building strong foundations in language and math. I believe confidence in these two areas will give students the tools to learn almost anything they'd like to in life. 

As an accountant, I have expertise in mathematics and finance. I'm an Enrolled Agent and believe everyone should be proficient in budgeting and personal finance. I believe a strong foundation in math is important to develop advanced skills with numbers later in life.  Likewise, strong grammar and language skills will help students communicate effectively and give them the tools to learn anything they'd like to. I'm also passionate about culture and language and have formally studied nine languages, including studying abroad. I want to share the world with students through language and exploration. 

I hope to share my love of learning with each of my students as they explore their personal interests.  In doing so, students will become lifelong learners and continue to grow in and out of the classroom.
