數字樂趣：讓所有學習者了解數學 - 數感第 2 部分

Hi! I’m Tiffany, an enthusiastic learner and educator passionate about inspiring young minds—especially neurodivergent, gifted, and curious learners—to appreciate the beauty and potential of math and beyond. My teaching approach is flexible; I draw inspiration from diverse sources to craft dynamic, engaging lessons tailored to each student's unique needs.

As a self-taught individual in many areas fueled by my love for discovery, I believe learning is a journey rather than a destination. My academic background includes majors in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science while also studying Foreign Languages. These fields have shaped my worldview and reinforced the belief that all subjects are intricately interconnected. Math, science, language, and art come together to narrate our world’s story—and I'm here to help students uncover those connections.

Math has always been my favorite subject due to its boundless possibilities—from nature to technology, music to design. For neurodivergent learners or those who may feel out of place in traditional settings, I strive to make math approachable by connecting it with real-life situations that resonate with their interests. This personalized approach nurtures curiosity while validating different learning styles.

In my classes—including small groups designed for individualized attention—I create a warm environment where every student’s voice matters. Whether we’re exploring math through everyday activities or diving into the wonders of science or history's richness or language's intricacies—I emphasize practical hands-on learning experiences alongside movement during lessons for an engaging atmosphere suited for diverse ways of thinking.

Challenges are part of any learning journey; overcoming obstacles requires developing perseverance and resilience—qualities I aim to cultivate in every student. With over 20 years working with learners across various backgrounds—including those with disabilities—I understand the importance of adaptability and empathy in fostering success.

When I'm not teaching—where I've been homeschooling my son for over three years—you can find me playing with my cat Bandana Waddle Dee or diving into creative projects that inspire fresh ideas for instruction tailored specifically toward neurodivergent and gifted students who crave deeper understanding.

Currently completing dual degrees in Computer Science (with a concentration in Cybersecurity) / Applied Mathematics from Towson University—which will be completed within 1.5 semesters—I’ve also volunteered at the Hussmann Center for Adults With Autism since 2021 while undergoing continuous training focused on supporting neurodivergent individuals through Kennedy Krieger Institute.

As professionals working together toward educational goals: let’s embrace this exciting journey filled with discovery where each learner's unique perspective holds immense value—transforming every subject into grand adventures uniquely tailored.
