I am currently a student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), majoring in Public Health and Sociology. While my primary academic focus is on social systems and health data, my coursework has required a mastery of advanced mathematics, including Statistics and Calculus. This unique background allows me to approach elementary math from a logical, data-driven perspective, helping students understand not just the "how" but the "why" behind mathematical concepts.
I have over three years of experience volunteering at local schools, where I have worked directly with K-5 students to build their confidence in arithmetic, place value, and word problems. My teaching style is highly adaptable and patient, specifically designed to help students overcome "math anxiety." I use a method called "Scaffolding," where we break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable steps, using visual aids and real-world examples to make abstract numbers feel concrete.
Having spent years in a university setting that emphasizes critical thinking, I am passionate about "future-proofing" a child’s education. I focus on building the foundational logic that will eventually support them in higher-level math and science. I prioritize clear communication with parents to ensure our sessions align with the current classroom curriculum and the student’s specific learning goals. I look forward to helping your child develop a strong mathematical foundation while making the learning process enjoyable!
