TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have 24 years experience as a IB math classroom teacher. I have worked in the public, private, international and independent systems. In addition, I have spent the last 15 years as a Math Consultant, giving over 50 IB teacher training workshops in the US, Canada, and Europe, as well as online. I am a Senior Moderator for the IA and have been an examiner for both paper 2 and paper 2. I also co-authored IB Math Analysis & Approaches SL textbook published by Oxford University Press.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I don't rely on one style of teaching... I have a toolbox that includes guided lecture, flipped classroom, inquiry, conceptual-based learning, etc.
