35 years teaching Math to students/ training Math teachers

Alison P.

I have been a math teacher for 6th-12th grade students for 35 years. I have taught in all settings including public schools and private schools (boarding and day). I teach middle school to AP calculus in addition to SAT/ACT prep. I have trained math teachers in the discovery methods of mathematics and use it often with my students to aid my students in gaining a deeper understanding of the material. In addition to teaching, I have tutored students in all levels of math and SAT/ACT prep.

My goal for every student is to improve their mathematical abilities and help them gain more self confidence as a math student. I also work with filling in gaps and prior knowledge which often leads to the difficulty students have with mathematics. I teach students in a variety of methods using manipulatives, systems, and applications. I use student interest as a way to engage students in mathematical learning.

Currently, I teach at a 6th-12th grade private school where I personalize curriculum to meet the needs of my students.

I bring my 35 years of teaching experience to personalize instruction, present material from a variety of methods, and engage students in the love of learning.
