Finding each persons method to problem solving.

Gavriel D.

I possess a strong background in mathematics education, built upon three years of dedicated experience teaching and tutoring across the entire K-12 spectrum. This experience spans all grade levels, where I have successfully differentiated instruction to meet the diverse needs of students, ranging from Exceptional Student Education (ESE) learners requiring specialized support to gifted students seeking advanced, enriched mathematical challenges. My proficiency covers a wide array of mathematical concepts and curricula, ensuring that all students, regardless of their starting point or learning style, are engaged and supported in achieving deep conceptual understanding.

Complementing my practical experience, I am currently finalizing a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, with a specialized focus in mathematics education. This advanced study has provided me with a robust theoretical framework in pedagogy, assessment, and curriculum design, equipping me with the latest research-backed strategies to optimize math instruction. My master's-level training is specifically concentrated on enhancing mathematical teaching methods and curriculum development, which allows me to implement and create highly effective, evidence-based instructional plans that foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills in all K-12 students.
My sessions are structured to deliberately build these connections. We start by pinpointing the "linchpin concept"—the foundational idea you need for mastery—and then use analogies, real-world applications, and visual diagrams to solidify the understanding. Whether it's showing how trigonometric identities are just glorified right-triangle principles or revealing the deep connection between derivatives and slopes, you'll gain the confidence that comes from truly understanding the language of mathematics, making future problem-solving far more intuitive and far less intimidating.
