Rigorous Mathematics. Meaningful Connections.
My passion is changing the way my students understand their abilities and value - using math as a conduit - and improving the relationship my students have with mathematics, academics, learning, their communities, and themselves.

In advanced math classes, many new problems incorporate previously-learned skills, and students will need to apply those skills quickly and accurately.
(This is also what quizzes and tests generally assess.)


Whether math-related or not, most problems require persistence to solve well. Students will practice stepping back, recalibrating, and trying again, better - and reframing mistakes as helpful steps in the process.


An important part of the learning process is recognizing, celebrating, and building on strengths. In doing so, students have evidence that they are indeed capable and can move forward with confidence.


Students will do more than memorize: they'll be making connections between different representations of problems, establishing what a problem is asking, determining an answer and its meaning, and seeing its ties to related topics.


Students become skilled in versatile and creative approaches that they can apply when solving any problem, not only problems that are familiar.
