Inspired by a family legacy of educators, my journey into teaching began early. My studies abroad in Brighton, England, broadened my horizons, but as an Arizona native, my heart lies in empowering local students from middle and high school. My experience spans diverse learning environments, from inner-city schools to homeschooling, and I thrive on connecting with each student's unique potential. An unexpected graduate course in physics modeling ignited a passion for the interconnectedness of math and science, a curiosity I love to share.
Earning my Master's in Curriculum & Instruction in Mathematics equipped me to transform my classroom into a launchpad for discovery, where students actively lead their learning through genuine inquiry. I've had the privilege of guiding Arizona's top math students to achieve and maintain their success. Algebra, the fundamental language of mathematics, holds a special place in my heart – it's not just about equations; it's about unlocking a world of logical puzzles and building a robust foundation for future learning. I believe a rigorous Algebra education can be, and should be, an engaging adventure. I'm thrilled to bring my experience and enthusiasm to Focus Tutors, where I aim to spark that same passion for mathematics in individual students. If we connect, be sure to ask me about Math Unicorns!
