Summary
Teaching in any form, whether math, music, leadership development, Sunday school, or my own children has always been a personal passion of mine. It is a joy to watch other learn and grow to the point of flourishing learning in areas that may be new to them or their own personal passion. High school is a great age to explore new things and start to understand personal strengths and interests that they might want to pursue towards a career. It is my goal to instill a love of learning and of math for each student by providing a safe environment, instruction to fit different learning styles, and passion of the subject as they are exposed to the wonderful world of math.
