What do you like most about learning?
I love that learning keeps me sharp and constantly challenges me to grow. There is always something new to discover or a deeper way to understand something I thought I already knew. That drive to keep pushing myself is what led me to pursue multiple graduate degrees and it is something I bring into every teaching environment.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
The biggest impact I have had is building confidence. When a student believes in their own ability, everything changes. They think more clearly, they are more willing to tackle difficult problems, and they stop seeing math as something to fear. I have found that when students start on the right foot and gain that early confidence, it creates a foundation that carries them far beyond the classroom.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I enjoy teaching pure mathematics, specifically number theory. There is something special about introducing students to the idea that math is more than just calculations and formulas. Number theory opens the door to thinking about math in a deeper, more abstract way and I love watching students experience that shift in perspective for the first time.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I focus heavily on positive reinforcement and making sure students can see their own progress. When a student recognizes how far they have come and understands that the effort they put in now makes everything easier down the road, it transforms their attitude toward learning. Math stops feeling like a chore and starts feeling like something they are actually good at.

What do you like most about learning?
I like to gain fresh ideas and learn new things.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
My biggest impact I’ve had with the students is making them interested in math, helping them use math in their daily life, and making it fun for them.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
What I do for students to find math fun is to link the problems to real life. I embed math to everything in their daily life, and that way they can understand the concepts better.

What do you like most about learning?
What I like most about learning is that everybody has a different way to absorb knowledge and seeing a student finally understand the content is awesome to see.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
The biggest impact I have had is supporting the students, even when they are low on motivation and need encouragement.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
Algebra, because I am able to see the students' many different ways of approaching the problem.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I try and support the students every step of the way, letting them try and figure out each step. Learning by figuring it out yourself is much more fulfilling to the students.

What do you like most about learning?
What I like most is that learning has no age limit. I’m teaching kids, but I’m learning from them every day too. Math I learned years ago still helps me understand something new today.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
My biggest impact has been helping students become independent learners.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I enjoy teaching foundational math the most—addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions and decimals. Because that’s where the confidence is built. When a student understands number sense in grades 1-5, everything else in grades 6-8 becomes easier.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I make math fun by turning it into a game. Celebrating small wins with high-fives and praise.
Teach children math so they understand it, master it, and love it. Math can change their lives, and they can change the world.
