TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have a degree in mathematics and elementary education and have been in the kindergarten, 2nd, 4th, and 5th grade classrooms. I currently teach 6th and 7th grade intensive math and enjoy every challenging, amazing day!

MY TEACHING STYLE

Every student learns differently and I plan my engaging lessons based on Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences and Marzano's strategies. I believe in a hands on approach toward teaching and taking something basic and turning it into an adventure.
