Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor’s Degree from Metropolitan State University of Denver
Math is like a foreign language when it is first introduced to students. As they progress to pre-algebra and beyond, that language becomes more complex with words and formulas they have never heard before. My approach to teaching math is two-fold. I emphasize not only facts and formulas, but also the concept being taught. I have found that when students will learn their facts and formulas without a good understanding of the concept, they get confused on when to use them. I believe that learning concepts along with the facts and formulas is the bridge to success and confidence in math.
