Profile
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.
