Summary
Before Substitute teaching , my background was mostly in sales. I am proficient in teaching Math, Algebra 1 which is a SOL course, Basic Geometry, and AFDA. I have completed the SubSkills Online training and the yearly Mandatory Online training for VBCPS. I enjoy teaching Middle and High School students and have taught long term math assignments in both and also at a High Security Alternative School. Because tutoring math combined teaching individually and in small groups with the topic I am experienced in, I found this to be the most rewarding job.
