What do you like most about learning? 

There is always something new to learn. What I like the most about being a teacher is that I am constantly learning new things and teaching them to our students. Learning brings me closer to my students and my community.

What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?

When I was learning math as a kid, I struggled with it. When I finally understood it and overcame it, I was able to identify which parts of the problem were difficult and I could take it apart and teach it step by step to my students. This way my students were able to understand and enjoy math.

What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?

Pre-calculus and Algebra before Mathnasium. Since joining Mathnasium, I have found a passion for teaching grades 1 to 4. 

How do you make learning math fun for students?

We eat snacks, we practice techniques and we implement them, we do challenges, and we make correlations between the new topics and the topics we have worked on previously.
