Summary
Licensed math teacher with seven years of experience. I'm licensed to teach grade levels 6-12, but I have experience teaching math lessons for grades 3-9 because I've taught both remedial and advanced placement courses. I specialize in creating a curriculum and lessons that allow my students to be successful, regardless of the mathematical skill level with which they enter my class.
