Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! I am Leslie. I have worked in the field of education, in various capacities, for 15+ years. Currently, I am doing a little teaching mixed with some educational consulting. I am so excited to be on the Outschool platform with you and look forward to getting to know you and your child!
I love math! Math is my specialty. I have spent a significant amount of time in classrooms, working with teachers and students, and pouring over data to understand what works. I understand the components necessary for student success.
Mathematics is a complex subject that includes a variety of topics. It is a subject that is unforgiving. Concepts build upon one another. Mastery of each must be attained for students to be adequately prepared to move forward. A strong foundation of arithmetic mastery must be built early on for students to be successful in higher mathematics, yet many text books and math programs only gloss over these skills. This leaves our students feeling defeated and makes it very difficult. It creates a cycle that is often hard to break.
I want to help with that. I teach through a mastery-based approach and place a strong emphasis on building that sturdy foundation. It is my goal to not just help students understand individual concepts, but to embrace mathematics as a whole and realize that they can do hard things. It lights me up to see a child break through and really begin to master concepts - to develop a confidence that was never thought possible. My desire is to see students confidently pursue excellence - not only in mathematics, but in all that they do. I look forward to the opportunity to come alongside your child!Reviews
