What do you like most about learning?
I love that learning opens the door to discovery. There’s always a moment when something “clicks,” and seeing students experience that spark of understanding is incredibly rewarding. Learning encourages curiosity, builds confidence, and shows students that they are capable of more than they realized.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
One of my most impactful experiences was working with a student who believed they “just weren’t a math person.” Through consistent support, individualized strategies, and celebrating small successes, the student not only caught up academically but started approaching challenges with confidence. By the end of our time together, they were proudly taking on advanced problems and helping their peers—proof that mindset and encouragement can transform a student’s relationship with math.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I make learning math fun by connecting concepts to real-life situations, using games and hands-on activities, and encouraging students to explore different strategies. When students feel engaged, supported, and free to be creative, math becomes something they look forward to rather than something they fear.

Teaching students how to think about problems makes them more confident in their skills and builds a long-lasting skill beyond memorization.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
Using real-world examples makes math more understandable and interesting for students, but it’s also a great opportunity to connect with students about their interests and show them the significance of what they’re learning.

What do you like most about learning?
As a grad student, I found that the best way to learn something is to teach it. And learning helps to keep the mind sharp.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
One of our long-time students progressed 3 grade levels in less than 2 years at Mathnasium. It has been so rewarding to watch him grow!

I encourage the kids to do their best and that it is OK to make mistakes. We are there to help them learn how to fix it. Also, I try to never use the word ‘wrong’.

What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
Helping students believe in their capacities — and then seeing themselves proven right by results.

By asking them what their thinking might be; asking them about themselves; gently prodding them toward reaching a goal of some sort; tossing in unusual instances of use of numbers; genuinely listening to them and showing interest in them.

What do you like most about learning?
The world is always fresh and new for people who are interested in learning!
How do you make learning math fun for students?
First, I take a sincere interest in the student. Just a couple minutes of discussion (with sincere listening) really helps make a good connection. Students like to catch teachers in mistakes, so when they do that, giving them honest feedback about it feels really good for them.

What do you like most about learning?
My favorite part about learning is feeling that light bulb go off. I love when a topic just clicks in my mind and then it's fun getting to solve the puzzle.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
The biggest impact that I have on a student's ability to become proficient in math is changing their mindset. A lot of kids struggle at first with finding the missing addends, but when I break it down into smaller parts, I can see the spark light off in their mind. The smaller steps make the problem more manageable and the kids gain confidence in themselves and their math skills.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I make learning math fun for kids by bringing in their interests into whatever math problem they are working on. Whether that be pizza, candy, or something else they are passionate about, it makes their math relatable and helps them to stay engaged.

What do you like most about learning?
The conversations I am able to have with others. Education is a pathway to connecting with everyone.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
By teaching math through a lens of logical problem solving rather than rote memorization. Having an understanding of a problem solving process allows students to translate these skills into other situations that may not be math related.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
By connecting with them on a more personal level. If they feel comfortable in a learning environment, they’ll have a better time.
