As a dedicated educator with a Master's degree in Middle Grades Math from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, I have over six years of experience teaching and tutoring mathematics to middle and high school students. Currently, I teach 8th grade math and Math 1, where I focus on making complex concepts accessible and relatable. My teaching philosophy centers around creating connections with students, often using real-life analogies to illuminate mathematical principles. For instance, I explain solving equations by likening it to relationships, encouraging students to visualize the process of isolating variables as a means of achieving clarity. My passion for mathematics drives me to foster a supportive learning environment where students can transform their 'dull light bulbs' into bright insights. I utilize engaging online platforms like Delta Math and Khan Academy to enhance the learning experience, ensuring that each student feels confident in their mathematical abilities.

My hobbies and interests include:
- Spending time with family
