Fun Facts
Many people do not know this, but I've been playing the piano for 23 years! I've played professionally for our church the past 5 years. I am also a professional child photographer. I love working with kids in all different settings-- not just education!
About Me
I am a professional photographer and former Math tutor and substitute teacher with a Masters in Mathematics Education from DePaul University. I was one of the youngest students in my class, but enjoyed the time spent learning from other teachers during my program. In the next 5 years I plan to get my PhD in Mathematics so that I can eventually become a Math professor at a local university.
Experience
As a former tutor for Sylvan Learning Center, I taught students from Kindergarten through adulthood in a range of math subjects including addition, Trigonometry, Algebra, Calculus, and math/georgia/atlanta">ACT Math Prep. All of my math/georgia/atlanta">ACT Math students improved points at their ACT re-test. After Sylvan, I moved to working inside of a charter school teaching Math during prep periods then substitute teaching for grades K-8. I hope to make a big impact on the students I come in contact with at Frog Tutoring, LLC.
Approach
I have a very organic approach to tutoring my students. We do not rely on calculators, but use manipulatives, basic math facts, and problem solving skills to work through problems. I feel it is very important to teach students this way in order to create a more engaging and dynamic learning environment. Math can be difficult for some students, but constant encouragement from me and the use of different methods for teaching a subject will help the student not to give up!

GED Tutoring
During my two years working with Sylvan Learning Center, I had a few students come for GED Math Prep. I tutored them extensively on things like graphing equations, understanding ratios, multiplication, long division, some trigonometry, and Algebra. My students gained confidence on the math portion of their GED once tutoring with me. My graduate degree also had a focus on teaching students at the High School and College level in math.
